Can I create a premium only newsletter?

If you would like to create a premium only newsletter publication and not offer any free content you can do this by simply connecting Stripe, setting up your pricing, and then categorize all posts under premium only within your settings. 

This will protect all your content and only allow premium paying subscribers to view.
