Love this, Kelly! I really wish you would have mentioned the ever-changing algorithm on Medium!:) The Medium/Substack comparison is a great topic and I would definitely want to read a piece on monetizing Substack. I feel like getting other Substack readers/writers to pay is harder than the non-writers, as most of the writers already have 4-6 paid subscriptions and can’t afford many more. (I’m in that boat myself; I wish I was independently wealthy!) Of the 3 paid subscribers I have, all are friends who read me only in email. I could go on and on about the Medium vs. Substack pros and cons, but your list is a good start!
Can you share the aubstack you pay (the pitches collector?) Cheers from Rio de Janeiro
