Good to know. I’ll reach out to them before uploading my first free episodes then. Thank you so much! I really appreciate your insight into Radish! : )

Hi Angela – glad my experiment was useful for you! Similar to Amazon, Radish has a policy that if a work is free elsewhere, it has to be free on Radish which was why I had to have the entire book 1 free as it is permafree everywhere else. I’m not sure whether you can do that through the site, as I had been talking to their support via email and if I remember correctly, they set it up that way. I had to talk to them anyway to get the Wait to Unlock stuff set up as it wasn’t an option I could select myself, I had to email all the details I wanted and they did it on the back end although that may have changed since then. They did say that they were working on making that one of the options, but I haven’t published anything new on Radish since that experiment so I don’t know if they ever did.

Their support team is helpful, but I found it did sometimes take days for them to respond… but reaching out to them would be what I suggest. They can either set it up for you the way you want, or instruct you on the way to do it via the UI now.

I also noticed in Radish’s content policy, “wait to unlock” states that a work must not be available for free on other platforms. Is making the first book’s worth of episodes free enough to disregard this? Did you confirm that with a representative at Radish?
