My Substack is Attracting Hordes of Half People
Begging the question: Which half wants my writing?
May was the (insert large-sounding number)th consecutive month during which my Substack on education policy has attracted one and a half new subscribers each day.
Admittedly, I’m pretty happy with slow and steady growth. Roughly 10% of all new subscribers become paying members. If this continues, I’ll eventually earn a pretty nice side income from my Substack.
Plus, eventually (I like that word), a critical mass of subscribers should lead to a broader network — more growth — more paying members.
Blah blah blah.
My question:
Who are all these HALF people?
If I’m getting 1.5 subscribers per day, which half of one person am I getting?
Are these (half) people divided top and bottom? Or by right or left side? Or is it some combination of both.
What if instead of 1 whole person and one half of a person, three half people…
