To me, and many others, is the big roadblock is Stripe. As in Medium, Substack also relies on Stripe Standard accounts. That is only available on only 48 countries. Thus, for many of us that roadblock means only one thing: GAME OVER.

Thanks for your feedback. I agree it is a main roadblock but some writers figured out workarounds for Substack I documented it in a story on Medium. You may contact the person who figured it out.

I’m extremely grateful for all of the ways Dr. Yildiz, Aiden, Mike, and others help promote my work and for the wisdom they freely share.

But I am confused because I became a paid subscriber last year at the $5/mo tier to one of the the newsletters and a free one to the others. So I can’t access the content for paid subscribers on the other newsletters as far as I can tell, since I get the prompts to upgrade my free subscription to paid.

Is a separate paid subscription to each newsletter necessary to access all of the extra content and other advantages paid subscribers get? Or will the same bonus content and other help be available to paid subscribers of any of the newsletters?

If there will be different exclusive content in each one, which one do you recommend for intermediate writers like me? I need help with strategy and marketing, but can’t afford separate paid subscriptions to each newsletter. Thanks!

Hi Wendi, thank you for your valuable and timely feedback. Your point was on my to-do list, and I fixed yours manually, allowing you to access three qualifying publications for the boost pilot. Now, you can read content from all of them, including my Content Marketing Strategy Insights, with no additional payment. My pub will have all my books and Aiden's training materials, too. We will make these adjustments manually for all our paid members, as Substack does not have an automation feature, so it will be a bit tedious and time-consuming. I appreciate your support and kind words. Please feel free to contact me on Slack or via email anytime for support as a priority service member.
