You do raise a few valid points here but the one I could argue is discoverability. Compared to how Substack used to be before the app, it WAS a dismal place for new writers with no audience. It was impossible to build a following worth sticking around for.
But my brand new pub has only been alive less than 3 weeks and I've collected nearly 60 subscribers. I didn't bring any in with me. Let's assume I can keep moving at a rate of approximately 100/month without being famous. I can live with that.
How many of your subscribers are paid subscribers if you don’t mind me asking?
I ask because I have built an audience from scratch and yet failed to build an paid subscriber base. So I’m curious what other people’s experiences are in that regard.
I haven't unleashed a paid section yet. I'd like to have a good base of engaged subscribers and an active community first. I feel like readers should know who I am and what they can expect before I ask for money.
