“As subscribing to every financial influencer is impossible and not aware of their track record ,would like to know is there any community to see the articles published by them for a lesser price ,so I can analyze multiple substack writers and decide whom to follow”
“I feel bad for anyone who wants to pay their bills with substack. I think that's impossible. I'm creating one to help funnel people to what I do outside of substack.”
“Substack definitely has a steeper learning curve and higher barrier for entry especially when your goal is to get your articles reach larger audiences. There's tougher competition in Substack, I feel.”
“Please don’t make it seem like something it’s not - this is a Sub about Substack, I’m asking for some perspective on others experiences with Substack collabs!”
“Substack, is a blogging website where you can choose to have readers to pay and subscribe to you, or just have a free diary for readers to read and relate to you.”
“I opened on and am sort of confused. I want to speak to people verbally and make money this way. I have been told good things but doing that a few times and I am hoping to learn this, but I don't understand substack or if I can do this here.”
“I joined substack around 2-3 months ago, at the start substack will push your posts as much as it can, but once you hit kind of a 2 month mark, the views will decrease massively atleast the did for me. I haven't changed anything about my writing and I'm in this phase.”
“If Fenesey gets readers to his substack, maybe the ringer will start a substack and try to give better value articles, magazine quality, but at the price of a subscription”
“I don’t see the value add from already established voices building a house on substack’s property this late in the game when all the major substack players seem set.”
“I have mixed feelings about Substack as it is very “Twitterfied” with its notes section. It’s a platform that is closer to a social media platform than Medium. There is a certain pompous quality to much of the writing as well that is hard for me to put into words.”
“Honestly was pretty skeptical about Substack going in. Felt like one of those platforms that's cool for six people and then nothing happens. But five clients in two weeks, which caught me off guard.”
“The main difference is that Medium has side-wide subscription and subscribers can read every story on the platform, while Substack is based on writer-subscription, meaning you have to convince readers to pay for you specifically.”
“The currency is narcissisim embeded in the promise of a "creative" life and identity. It not unlike an MLM - but instead of trickling sales percentages, the generated revenue is Substack advertising potential and user count. "How to grow" grift is copied from bottom-feeders in MLMs and pyramid schemes.”
“Is anyone else tired of the constant "how to grow" on substack lately? Might just go crazy and post my old diary entries 👀 I feel like substack needs more unhinged vulnerability.”
“I read six Substacks and I found every one of them because somebody else quoted them, never through Substack's own discovery. Where did your last three subscribers actually come from?”
“So id say if youre relying on substack to help you grow, youre going to be waiting a while. view substack like a dropbox for your writing and assume people will only go there if they are given a direct link. Go out and give people a reason to want that link.”
“This subreddit and a lot of advice about substack gives tips on how to grow, but underneath it all the writing has to be good and about something people care about. Not everyone is in a position to write a successful substack.”
