Hi Kristina. This post resonates—especially about waiting too long to get paid. I’ve been guilty of the same hesitation, telling myself, “I just need to build a little more first.” But the truth is, there’s never a perfect time. At some point, you must trust that the value is there and flip the switch.

Your journey is inspiring, and I love how you framed it as not just when to go paid but what to offer. That mindset shift makes all the difference.

Speaking of which… since you’re now a firm believer in paying for excellent writing, I suggest you come to check out my work and see if it’s worth your support 😉. I would love to have you as part of my community! https://curiousleaders.substack.com/p/allow-yourself-to-suck-f3b24e7f8367

(Regardless, thanks for this post—exactly the push I needed.)

Asd I shared on Notes, my suggestion would be to build a library of content :) as I only saw one story. Also I'd not overuse AI.

I think my interview with Michael can also help and inspire because often we don't know WHY we're doing something: https://www.onlinewritingclub.com/p/how-to-build-a-soulful-one-person

Hope this is another push for you.

Good to offer a paid susbcription right from the start. Even better to build a free library first and show WHO you are and WHY they should care.

Hi Kristina. Thank God that I posted a note to you. I have been using a homepage that had not been formatted. Fix. As I said, I have over 50 articles that were invisible to the world. Thank you. https://curiousleaders.substack.com/
