How I’m Attracting Subscribers to My Substack
Using a range of platforms to promote my writing
I’ve been writing on Medium for what will be two years in February.
When I joined, I was looking to find as many ways to write and earn money from writing as possible.
Yes, I knew that writing wasn’t the “big ticket” to big money.
I also knew (and know) that I loved writing and wanted to find a way to make writing my life.
Currently, I teach part-time at two colleges in Nashville, TN.
I also do contract writing and communications work for a range of clients. That’s usually short to medium range project work, but it’s pretty consistent.
And, well, I also write here on Medium, on NewsBreak, and on Substack.
I love Medium for the community, but the money is — well, it’s ok. I make enough to get some coffee during the month — and I DO love coffee, so, that’s nice.
I really like Medium for the community — for the feedback and engagement.
NewsBreak has been pretty consistent about paying decent money.
