Congrats Luce <3 I have realised that it is a priority of mine to support free media bc I work my big girl job and am in a privileged position because of that, and that has come from uuuu!!!! Srsly the term “support the media you love” has changed my life.

Congratulations on your success, keep it up XX

You've inspired me to start a Substack for @thefounderwellbeingproject, but I have no idea what I am doing! Help!

Outstanding. I have recently started my own newsletter and was looking for some keys to unlock on Substack. Sounds like “notes,” is a key.

As a person who was once a successful professional, but is now on a pension due to illness and injury, I found this topic extremely interesting.

For me, seeing the reassurance of “cancel anytime” carries a lot of weight. Another suggestion is “pick your monthly membership donation”. So people can pay what amount they want as often as they want eg weekly, fortnightly, monthly or yearly. Monthly and yearly are two things that also put me off. They just don’t work for me. So I don’t subscribe at all.

Maybe incorporating what one of the other commenters said about the “buy me a cup of coffee” slogan this could be incorporated with what I’m suggesting. Eg $5 a week = buy me a Monday cup of coffee,

$12 a week = something-witty-I’m-sure-you-can-come-up-with etc. Yeah, it’s more complicated, but it offers more choice and control for the reader who is contemplating handing over their big bucks.

Hi! New here. Found this via The Hypen.

About paid subscribers - I just read a post about using "buy me a coffee" and that seems to be working for them.

Just a thought.
