People can and do pay for content on Substack. A writer may wonder how they are going to attract a paying audience but you show the way here. Unlike Medium, where writers often got paid for producing worthless content that just happened to get a lot of reads by being boosted - through fair means or foul - here the writer has to provide value for money. Or build up some special relationship with the reader.

It is a new journey for many - including myself here - and the experience and advice you offer in these free chapters of what will be a book for sale is invaluable. Thank you.

This had a lot of useful information for me. I haven't written anything yet for Substack but have been writing for Medium for a couple of years and only started making money. I've only begun researching how to write for Substack and feel a bit intimidated by the demand to produce valuable content every week that will not only gain, but also keep subscribers. So your article (book chapter) gives me a lot to think about. Thanks!
