How I make six figures on Substack
It's been a surprising/thriving 18 months on here, so here's some stuff I know.
"Eighteen months into publishing on Substack, Emma Gannon is making a living from her publication.
Emma built an audience over 14 years writing online, including running a thriving podcast and publishing books. In this recent post, she shares lessons she learned on the way to hitting a big milestone—earning a six figure salary on Substack. Emma has generously removed the paywall from her post until Friday so other Substack writers can soak up her insights."
It’s been an incredible and creatively fulfilling eighteen months on Substack; I am grateful to have discovered a platform that seamlessly pulls all my different creative threads together and has also (as a bonus!) allowed me the freedom to step away from social media. It actually feels incredibly radical to have a self-funded media platform that doesn’t rely on advertising or corporate sponsors. I haven’t chased an accounts department in months.
This is absolutely not one of those weird ‘get rich quick’ posts — but it is a genuine look at how I built a six-figure business over the course of eighteen months in case it might be helpful for those getting started on Substack.
So, here is some stuff I know.
