      a few folks have mentioned that $10 USD is really expensive/unaffordable in some countries. has anyone seen good approaches to dealing with this?

      Since every price which isn't free is expensive to someone, I am generally in camp "Price really aggressively against people who can clearly afford it and use the resulting financial stability to price everything else at free."

      Me if you want a somewhat quixotic example. Most "public intellectuals" are broadly in the same ballpark, where their output is generally widely available at $0 (or very slightly above for books) and the things they actually charge for are $gadzooks.

      Or consulting, or advising, or whatever. (In my case, it was generally "Here's N million words about topics which you might find interesting. Are you a software company? I have some other words which may be relevant to your interests; you can buy them cached or live, your call.")

      what do you mean by "cached"?

      So I did consulting and had a number of "stock engagements", which one could caricature as being a live reading of advice. (There was some curation and pressing of buttons, too, but the caricature isn't totally wrong.) I sold (sell, technically) one of those on video ("cached").

          thanks! the "give away free words to get great consulting/speaking gigs" model isn't something i'm interested in but I know it works really well for lots of people!

          Sure thing! (Not a thing I do anymore, either, for what I suspect are similar reasons.) FWIW: If I were capable of doing what you do I'd probably charge $50 ~ $250 for the artifact versions (to maximize revenue from pros) and have semiformal or informal way to get them for free.
