Nine Months of Hell on Substack

It’s been a rocky ride to the top and back down to the gutter

Me after losing my subscribers last week (Wiki Comms)

The results are in.

After two weeks of deep data analysis by some of the world’s finest accountants, they have released the results of my Substack journey.

Their conclusion was as follows.

In his nine months on Substack, Philip J. Ogley (21st Century Content Creator) earned precisely $94

When I read it, I thought the typist had dropped dead after the word “$94…”

I was waiting for the noughts.

So I rang their New York office and asked to speak to the head honcho, who informed me that it was correct, and that I am an office joke.

There’s even a photo of me on the wall they throw darts at. In the middle, where my mouth is, there’s a $94 sign in red letters.

If employees hit the mark, they get a bonus of $10,000.

The boss told me it’s pretty hard to miss as the sign is as big as an apple, so they’ve been paying out thousands per day. But they can do that because they are rich and I’m not.
