Making money on Substack


I'm hosting a FREE Masterclass to show you how to leverage Substack's massive growth opportunities and grow your audience this year.

We woke up to an exciting milestone on Substack today - Write • Build • Scale has now officially crossed 200+ paid subscribers! 🎉

That's 203 people who are paying to get access to our premium content, which is incredible given that we only launched the publication 6 months ago. 🔥

Even though paid subscriptions aren't the most exciting part of Substack, they matter because writers deserve to get paid.

That's why we prepared an in-depth guide to show you how to monetize on Substack.

Inside, we cover:

  • ⏰ When to turn on your paid tier
  • 🗂️ What to offer as part of your paid tier
  • ⚙️ Practical strategies to grow your paid subscriber base
  • 💰 How to monetize your Substack with external offers


Big love from my screen to yours,
Sinem

But let me zoom out and give you some perspective here: I've been writing online since 2018. This has been my "full-time job" since 2020. I’ve spent thousands of hours refining my...

Hey Reader, I'm writing this email full of fresh energy because we've been enjoying a lot of sunshine here in Vienna over the past week. It already feels like spring - perfect for hikes, long walks, and slow moments: But there's one more thing I like to do when spring is around the corner.. I repot my plants! So I spent Sunday morning giving many of my babies new soil, a larger pot, and a cleansing shower. I don't know much about plants, but I love taking care of them to make sure they have...
