Amazing to see great writers leaving social media for substack, but, I have a quick question here, why would subscribers keep paying 💰 monthly money to their favorite individual newsletters when they can opt to pay just one subscription to A platform, eg, Medium, and be ablevto read 📚 multiple writers' newsletters and publications limitlessly? I am so vonfused on this point. 😞 Could some one really enlighten me on this point please? 😊 Thanks a lot in advance 🙏
Hi Meere, the iddea of a newsletter is that people pay with their wallets.
Let's take Tom. People loved him on Medium. he tells he's now on Substack so people could support him here and read his exclusive writing here and pay for it.
So many people don't want to read the whole newspaper, they come to it to read ONE person. That's the idea.
We then collaborate together so that writers like you SEE Tom here and subcriber or even become a paid members.
So on Medium you sign up for the MASSES, it's a content mill.
Here on Substack you sign up to get stories in your inbox and really connect to ONE person or a handful of people.
Does this help?
For more, I'd love to invite you to my membership experience. It's just 9 bucks per month and you can AMA and connect with other (new) writers.
yes, this concept applies to writers like you and Tom who have reached a height on Medium and Substack etc., but, what about newbies who are unknown in all platforms 🤔
You have a point Meera. Not many people will subscribe for five dollars per month to relatively unknown writers however much they like their writing. It soon adds up when you sub to a handful of newsletters and readers have to be very selective with who they choose to support. Over time though your consistency will be rewarded with more and more paid subs and you won't be so much of an unknown voice.
