Play Task forces and team with other people, just like he did for the other 49 levels.
I'm not sure if you're aware of super sidekicking, but basically you can join any team any time at any level.
Where to now?

Well, thanks to sidekicking, you can keep doing whatever you liked doing before you hit 50, without it being trivialized just due to your level. But if you mean character advancement, there are some things you can do at 50 even as a premium. This list is far from exhaustive:
For one, you can gather badges, if that's your thing.
You can work on accolades. This is technically a subcategory of hunting badges, but worth noting separately because certain accolades grant health/endurance bonuses or activated powers.
You can work on replacing your level 50 SOs from vendors with higher-level ones from drops.
If you have invention access, you can work on obtaining merits/recipes/inf for that awesome IO build you've always wanted.
If you're in a SG, you can earn prestige to upgrade your base.
And of course, you can make another character 
One of my favorite things about CoH is how amazingly alt-friendly it is. If you get bored with a 50, you can leave them alone for a couple months, and when you feel like playing them again, you won't have fallen behind the gear curve or any such thing, you can just jump right back in.

The "end-game" incarnate content is very new.
That said, if you pay for an invention licence, or have it unlocked already, you can spend quite a bit of time with a level 50 building an "uber"-build for them, so you can solo AVs and other feats.
Other than that, I recommend just making a new character.
Personally, I rarely even make it to 50 before I start on someone new.
Main Hero: Mazey - level 50 + 1 fire/fire/fire blaster.
Main Villain: Chained Bot - level 50 + 1 Robot/FF Mastermind.
BattleEngine - "And the prize for the most level headed response ever goes to Mazey"
Do what we all did before incarnates? 
@Damz Find me on the global channel Union Chat. One of the best "chat channels" ingame!
One problem, you've said "Free/Premium." The answer's different for each.
Free = they're not going to have more than another slot (as any purchase puts them to premium.) These people are going to be the most limited - they can't IO out their build, can't market, have a low INF cap, etc.
They're basically playing the old game - they can exemp down, run task forces, go badge hunting, PVP - though they're restricted to SOs - and the like.
Premium depends on level - basically anything from the above to "Pretty much anything they want other than Incarnate content and forming/paying rent for SGs" once they fill out Tier9.
Nothing stops the free and premium players from RP. That's what keeps me here, and I'm VIP anyway...

Let's see:
There's several high-end TFs to do or indeed any TF/SF left to do if you missed them
Mothership Raids if the server you're on still runs them regularly
Zone invasions but they're a bit hit and miss, dependent on a TF or right timing
Ouroboros for filling in arcs you may have missed (with bonus of being at the maximum level for every arc plus 5 levels worth of powers).
Finishing the existing level 45-50 arcs since you can't outlevel these. There's a couple of Cimerora arcs to do and loads of others in present-day Primal to finish.
You can always hang out in Atlas or shadow some lowbies, handing out insps or covering them so they don't faceplant so often.
Everything I mentioned is stuff that's open to everyone on existing characters.

You have access to pretty much any non-incarnate stuff aside from inventions. As other have said, you can do taskforces, regular (non-incarnate) trials, run story arcs (most of the high level ones have arch villains to fight), hunt giant monsters, PvP (if your on a server where folks actually PvP), badge hunt, ouroboros, and raid the ritki mothership and hamidon.
