Why didn’t I start Sooner?

Yesterday was two months since my first post on Substack, and if you are interested, this is how things have gone:

Headline Stat… I earned more money with a weekly post this month than I did publishing content daily here on Medium!

Subscribers

In the past 30 days, I picked up another 86 subscribers, so we are averaging just short of 3 per day, bringing the total to 245 at the moment.

These subscribers generated 2640 views with 200 subscribers (Up 500+ over last month) compared to 800 more on Medium with 6000 subscribers…ouch!

Followers

In addition to subscribers, I’ve picked up 437 followers; these are people who read my notes and are likely subscribers.

Substack has 3 levels of “engagement”

Followers => Subscribers => Paid Subscribers

There are also “founder members “, but I include them as paid subscribers.
