The Best Time To Go Paid On Substack Is Right Now
And how much money you can make (from a Substack bestseller)
I didn’t dare to turn on paid subscriptions.
Last January I turned them on!
I started with $100, then earned $1000 then $10,000.
An amazing journey so far.
You can do it, too.
No matter how teeny tiny your newsletter is and no matter what topic you’re writing about.
Substack is THE BEST PLACE to be at the moment and the motto of The Online Writing Club is:
Get paid to be you!
But I made a huge mistage. Let me explain.
One of the biggest mistakes I made in my journey as an online writer was not enabling paid subscriptions from the start.
To be honest, I was afraid…
- no one would care
- no one would buy it
- I wouldn’t have enough “value” (such an overused word, I know) to offer
I recommended waiting a few weeks or even month before going paid.
This year I say: go all in! This makes the most sense because if you’re getting paid, that’s how Substack generates revenue.
