Hi Jameson! I just started a Substact titled God, Mental Health, and The Keto Connection. Can you tell me the clear steps you use to set up donations/free access as you have on your newsletter? I've listened to this video over and over and I don't get it!😂 Thanks Brother! God bless you!
Thanks so much! This is EXACTLY what I was looking for because the type of content I’d like to post feels immoral for me to require payment. I’m glad there’s a way to receive donations instead. Is there a way to link to a Buy Me a Coffee, Venmo, etc?
This is exactly what I want to do with my writings. I don’t want to charge for what Jesus has freely given to me. But I still also want to have an option set up if someone wants to donate.
Do you think that it would be a bad strategy just to get people you know to get started with a $3 per month membership. I feel like I have a few people who would support me off the bat. And then using my Twitter like if I grow to 1k then 10k maintaining that price? Do you think asking $3 per month could scale? I would be super happy with 500-2000 subs at $3 per month.
You could - the minimum I usually see on Substack is $5 to $7 a month though. You can explore what other Substacks similar to yours charge for a monthly subscription and base it on that.
Still confused how you can make any money just starting out? Do you need to have paid subscribers or donations? Just wondering how people are making anything at all?
You have to build your free subscriber list, and then offer content that people are willing to become paying subscribers for. It doesn't happen overnight, but over time you will start to build up people who are willing to pay.
I’m a Christian writer, too, and this video just taught me the best way to make money on Substack!
Many comic book writers etc now launching creator-owned books on substack

Yes you can link those in your posts or on your homepage.

Do you do Substack consulting or do you know anyone who does?
