Should you start a Substack?
Manage episode 272453565 series 1341047
Especially for people like me—if you write mostly about abstract intellectual topics that are not directly useful—writing should be the way you build your audience and not the way you monetize your audience. After you’ve built an email list through consistently publishing your writing for free, you can monetize in other ways, which make more sense and will earn you more money in the long-run. I wrote a blog post about this at otherlife.co/should-you-start-a-substack.
➡️ Contact me or submit questions you want me to answer on the podcast at otherlife.co/contact.
➡️ If you're working on your own intellectual project, request an invitation to IndieThinkers.org.
➡️ If you just like what I'm doing, consider becoming a patron at patreon.com/jmrphy.
