actualNoteContentPart: Early 2022 we were releasing the permanent Free version of Amplenote for the first time. Essentially, this version includes all of the necessary features to implement our vision of [The Idea Execution Funnel](https://www.amplenote.com/notes/d2c1f886-b430-11ec-a609-5e64738a7b58) . And to nobody's surprise, our user count skyrocketed as a result.
  
  As of December 2022, users can choose between 3 paid plans. Those plans unlock some pretty neat features such as Note Publishing and more storage space. We've seen this as a largely successful model, and it has served us well so far, due to the number of power users that want access to - well - power user features. 
  
  That said, if you are a power user but cannot afford to pay for Amplenote, we expose a number of different ways through which you can use premium Amplenote features without breaking the bank.
  
  In this document, we'll go over what those mechanisms are and how you can start using them yourself:
  [New as of 2023: Become a Plugin Developer](#New_as_of_2023:_Become_a_Plugin_Developer)  
  [Become an Amplenote Scholar or an Amplenote Videographer](#Become_an_Amplenote_Scholar_or_an_Amplenote_Videographer)  
  [Become a member of the Booster Club](#Become_a_member_of_the_Booster_Club)
