Good afternoon Reader,
It's been in all the news lately:
So what's the right platform to go to? If you don't want to rely on platform algorithms or ads, where can you write?
Many writers have been talking about Substack. Many writers are already on Substack! I subscribe to two amazing Substack writers myself (Today in Tabs and Garbage Day).
Substack, for those of you who don't know, is a subscription-based newsletter model. For example, say I run a model like this:
Pretty great, right? And the really nice thing is that you earn more money for the same work as long as you keep getting subscribers.
So why not move to Substack straight away?
And there's another option, too: Ghost. Ghost offers a lot of the same features as Substack, but with more customization and more geared towards creators of all kinds (video, podcast, etc). It's a little trickier to get set up, but it's worth considering too.

Good afternoon Reader, If you’re like me, you hate looking at your old blog posts. It’s like hearing stories about what you did when you were drunk — I really said those things? I really wrote those words? That’s the odd thing about writing. Unlike other practiced skills like weightlifting, it’s hard to see obvious improvement day-to-day--or even month-to-month. If you want to see how you’ve improved, you have to look at your previous work. Once you can bring yourself to look at your past...
