I love ‘Prefer not to say’, Emma. And I love the new direction – it’s important to make space for writing what feels true to you, rather than writing for work all the time.
As for subs, I’ve seen another Substack writer who built up a great stock of posts, then paywalled them and suggests that to make the most of them people just need to pay the one-off fee and then cancel if they wish. That way he gets income and people get access to the archive. Just an idea – I’ve been toying with it myself.
Thanks Sarah. Yeah i have toyed with the idea of paywalling the archive, especially for my business content. Might not be a bad idea actually. Especially the whole 'poy once to get the content' side of things. Tbh I wish Substack allowed a bit more flexibility re the charging side of things.
As someone who’s loved both working with you and reading about what you’ve done next, I honestly can’t wait to read these new essays. 🤩 all the best!
Paywall wise, that’s up to you. For me, part of inclusion is openness and throwing things out there into the world. But that’s up to you where you might need that divide, and also where you might want to be paid for your knowledge and insight. Either way, I’ll be here. Can’t wait.
Thanks Amy. That means a lot. I think you’re right about the openness. I’m not going to make any decisions on that aspect too quickly. Interested to hear what others think too.
