I just looked at his Medium page and it seems his success (like yours) is from articles coaching other writers. Is this the only successful genre? Do people on these platforms read about anything other than the hustle? Is it possible to be successful writing about any other topic?

This is a great question Jennifer. If you look at any platform (Substack, Medium, YouTube) - there's a vast range of topics. And most readers are not creators. So this is a very niche area. Plenty of other topics available,
Sure. Walter Rhein is a great example. He's writing on Medium and Substack.
I started writing about parenting. I have many people in my tribe who share personal stories.
I have a background in marketing and comms plus journalism :) so I'm not a guru telling you : Do this, not that!
I'm just sharing what I'm doing part-time with two kids in the house and the stories of others that helps us grow.
As for Derek, you can take his tips for ANY genre.
Jeanette from our tribe shared with me she got one paid subscriber by using Derek's headline tips! She's writing about hourse breeding. We have dog beahviourists, psychologists and so many other wrtiing about Canada, humor, music. Check our ben Ulansey or Robin Wilding and ALL the others. My husband is software dev and huge. Others are writing about gardening. THe ones you're reading (me and Derek) are the ones sharing their successes and success stories of others. But those who have them, often don't dare to share them. I'm happy to make them shine and be seen. Derek is known on Medium but not on Substack so I wanted to introduce him to you.
What are you writing about? Are you writing on Medium? and Substack? Tell us a bit more.
PS You don't earn much money with META stories about the creator economy or writing, that's a myth. But you can earn money with helpful tips and success stories
