This is the first in an interview series designed to share the nuts and bolts of how writers have gone independent and grown their audiences on Substack.
When you make special offers like $5 off on an annual subscription, how do you manage the expectation of subscribers who have paid the full price? Don't they feel bad?
Just seeing this -- no one has even been upset about this! I figure it's just like when you buy something at a store and it goes on salt the next week - darn! But oh well!
Great idea, paid cookbook newsletter, probably easier for readers/subscribers than buying a cookbook because the recipes are arriving in bite-sized chunks (yes I did a bit of word play there) it means they are more likely to read it because it's one recipe, and does what it says on the tin (another word play yay) and can be cooked in under x minutes. Keep up the great work!
A back massage chair is most effective when a person uses it as the instructions suggest — usually in 15–30-minute sessions. Longer sessions will not provide greater benefits.
A wood jigsaw might help you cut different wood materials with smoothness, comfort, and accuracy. Adding to that, the latest tools are designed lightweight and ergonomically to help fellow wood designers in the best possible manner.
I love all these resources, they're so useful. Starting my newsletter has been the most exciting and joyful experience and I'm so glad I found a home for my writing. Thank you! 💖
I tried the Instagram tacktick with the question box - immediate success 🌟 Thanks a lot for this little tip!
This was super useful. I guess I need reinforcement for the basic idea of "promoting oneself", and this helped!

They may not see the offer if it is sent to free subscribers only.
But isn't that deceiving? I'm sure none of us would like to be treated that way.
It's like when you buy a pair of jeans and they go on a sale a month later. Bummer, but oh well!

Great read, thanks for sharing! As someone who writes a newsletter that touches on cooking among other things this is very useful!
Actually, you did not bury the "lede" in your title.
I do like most anything Caroline Chambers cooks or says . . . .
Great insights! I just launched a few days ago and will give these ideas a try.
