Come off it. “his ads” … I’m an independent journalist, 100% of my income comes from my newsletter, and I published seven items last week. If my reminding you occasionally that the free content you want costs money to make renders the content worthless to you, boy, I don’t know what to say.
Don’t let the haters get you down. You’re doing insanely valuable work, and deserve to be compensated for it.
You’re a prized member of my timeline (especially on Monday!!!). You’re very much appreciated, even if social media makes it easier to see the hate than the love
I click through every now and then thinking "why don't I already subscribe?" but then I remember it's because I have a no-exceptions rule about Substack. Is there some other way I can support you?
You are supposed to psychically let people know that your newsletter is your income source and hope that they are tuning it with their ESP. Like we all do.
Not that it’s the point of this, but that’s dude’s feed is ENTIRELY misogyny from the political left. Crappy person saying crappy things who bemoans mainstream media but won’t support independent journalists
Two years ago, I went out on my own — making $0 off of Law Dork. In two years, I’ve created a workable living, but I’m still not making what I was making at my last job. I do this because I think it’s the right path for me to do the work I think is important. And, yes, it costs money to do that.
