Thank you. You are welcome to share it on Medium, I am not there. This is a part of a series on monetization which will have some more episodes. You will find on SUBSTACK 101 KICKSTART also many more information for securing your IP and becoming platform independent.

You are most welcome, my friend. I attached it to the end of my story as a reference. You can check out my story via this friend link https://medium.com/illumination/if-substack-does-not-support-your-country-via-stripe-there-is-an-alternative-monetization-solution-055c4125cc56?sk=3e1c00867b0ce717fba30148be873db9 I wonder why you don't repurpose your content on Medium. It is a large platform and inspiring writers like you can find many readers. If you are interested I can help you. We have a large community there and I own multiple pubs. You can contact me via Notes.

Thanks Dr Yildiz this is very helpful info especially for friend in India and Pakistan as they keep asking me about this when I recommend Substack.

I too had this inquiry from many freelance writers especially from India. I am glad there is a solution. Thanks for creating this awareness. I hope this info helps many. Stripe is a bit restrictive but PayPal comes to the rescue.

Mehmet,

You continue to provide a valuable and technical understanding for your many followers.

As a writer from India, this information is highly valuable for me. I knew before starting Substack that it doesn't support payment methods for my country yet, but I went ahead with it anyway. My main purpose for this newsletter was to find a voice and express my thoughts freely but if in future if I do wish to get paid for it, this information will certainly come in handy. Thanks for sharing!

Amazing-- I have to take my hat off to the technical wizardry of folks who can create these workarounds. Thanks for sharing, Doctor, including the bit about Gumroad-- I wasn't familiar with that eCommerce platform. 🙏

This is eye-opening for me. I had no idea. Good for you to get it out there.
