it worked. although substack completely ignored me when they asked for input from journalists (i guess they meant famous people) -- i attracted enough of a readership to get a few write ups in industry blogs. joined an association of local online papers (lion) and this month i got approached by google news initiative and knight foundation with a ready to deploy six figure grant and a team of revenue ppl. the only catch is i have to leave substack and go to a platform with flexibility for sponsorship and display ads. i’d rather stay at substack but they’ve ignored me.
