I was just curious to know your number - it's an interesting data point. I have experimented with pricing, but not enough, so it's something I have to do at some point.
Thanks! I started a related newsletter a few years ago that has good reach (https://uimovement.com) and that drives some traffic. SEO is also a decent source, plus some content marketing and word of mouth.
I've recently started experimenting with ways to grow the traffic above the base level, but it's slow going tbh.
I've commended to a response below with the business model, but yeah I've just started trialling a freemium model yesterday so need to update the rest of the site with clearer pricing plans etc.
Until yesterday there was no freemium access, it was just paid up-front to access all the content. $39 per quarter or $99 per year.
Your use case is kinda where the idea came from, most product people do something similar. The hard part is adding enough relevant content on Page Flows for enough people!
I run https://pageflows.com and have been living off it full time for a little over a year.
The business makes a bit more than what I was earning a few years ago as a junior developer in London, so it's not a huge amount of money, but it's enough.
It's a fairly boring business to run and not as predictable or sexy as some sort of micro saas, but it's I'm happy with how things have been so far. Happy to answer any questions you have.
