The New Substack is up.
It’s still ‘open to all’ but I’ma thinking about making some ‘subscription only’ to raise the shekels. What say you?

So, does the money from the Substack subscription go (mostly) to you? If so, then it’d be worth it, else…
Yep… to me and the mortgage that is
Based on other substacks, I’d say it’s too soon…you want to encourage views…Maybe give them half the post, or only some of the posts, as Doomberg et al do…
One less mouth to feed. Good luck.
You can always do what I did, which is an idea I swiped from TL Davis: free to read, pay to comment. Ain’t much money in it, alas, but the way I figure it, every dollar you bring in is a dollar you didn’t have when you got up this morning, right?
You already decided, I see
Affirmative on a Substack paywall.
I plan on doing the same with my short stories soon.
If the sub stack is meant to be ‘educational’, wouldn’t it make sense to have it readable by more people? Locking down the comments at least doesn’t hurt that.
Pyrrhus and Mike have some really good ideas there. Waiting to see how the substack grows is a good strategy to follow for now. Putting it behind a paywall immediately might backfire on you ( losing out on future subscriptions ).
