Where Did All the Half People Go?
A search for Substack readers
For a long time, my Substack on education policy was attracting a steady stream of half people.
I appreciated this steady growth and especially appreciated the 10% of new subscribers who also chose the paid option.
With 45 people per month (1.5/day — 3 half people? 1 whole person and a half person?) — and 4–5 new paid subscribers per month, I was beginning to see a strong future with Substack.
Then June happened.
Fuck you, June!
Ok, not really.
June is actually a pretty great month with weather that is not too hot where I live. I had a good June.
Just not on Substack.
I attracted just 30 new subscribers and ZERO new paid subscriptions.
I know, I know — it’s summer and people are not likely lining up to read the intricacies of education policy.
Everyone is busy reading riveting fiction and working on their tan or whatever.
