I am one of the paying guys. There are lots of Substacks out there, but Reid’s is worth the subscription price. I wish I could do what he does, but at least buying a subscription allows me to contribute a little to making the world a better place. Thanks, Reid.
I think unless you have a bunch of paid subscribers who just magically migrate with you (i.e. I suspect some are bogus, for example if I give out a paid subscription then it costs me nothing and the subscriber nothing but it's still a paid subscription by Substack) then you're stuck with this. At 20% I too should have about 120 paid subscribers. I think it's more like about 10 or so. On my first few hundred it was about 5% as well. Lately it's 0%.
And like you I'm doing this free of charge basically.
