Congratulations on your success. This did not work for me. I had to stop 31 weeks in because I was not receiving new subscribers beyond the initial group of 13 subscribers Substack sent me about a week into publishing my first newsletter. I received a trickle of others through my outside efforts, but that was it.

I'm not writing a newsletter that takes me hours per week to plan, compose, add citations, edit, and post for 2 dozen subscribers, most of them deadbeats who never like, restack, or comment, and half of them with suspiciously fake-sounding emails that behave like bots.
To top it all off, Substack refused to respond to (and fix) the software bug technical issues I was having building a second newsletter, to begin distributing this year.
A complete and utter waste of valuable and precious "free" time. I would like to have those 31 weeks of time back and I would tell others that the newsletter gravy train is not going to work for many people, despite the endless announcements that I hear to the contrary.
Sorry to hear that. It's sad when you have t ch headaches for weeks. It's natural that you may not see an immediate growth. It takes a while. I enabled the paid button for instance after one year.
