Perfect timing - I turned on the paywall less than 24 hours ago and I'm now working through my promotion strategy...

True, but it also brings to life every little nugget of self-doubt I thought I abandoned years ago...

New things are usually one part exciting and two parts scary for me! But usually if I am not a little scared it's not really worth it

It would be exciting if substack provided actual data on different strategies depending upon the free subscriber list number. This really doesn't have to be all art and no science.

Category and list size wood correlate with different strategies in their efficacy.

Email marketing has a long history of being data based and analytics-based. I would be celebrating if the creator economy adopted that knowledge. In truth, it would make your company a lot more profitable and not only be of service to us.

Yes - that data would be interesting.

Best wishes. I am building my subscriber list a little more and then will turn on paid.

Thanks...I think it's a good strategy. I wanted to wait a year and I had a number in mind - 500 free subs before turning on paid. After one year, I was able to reach 650 - so that was good!

I'd really like to know how. I am going to start a professional substack from my biz website. i already have a personal one about a different journey I'm on. So far I have followed other people who say, "Follow me, and I'll follow you back!" and no one has. Is that a scam on substack?
