Best damn advice article I've read about Substack.

Loved this bit about turning on paid: "Of course, once that happens you’ll want to worry about giving them something that’s just for them. Don’t do it. They didn’t ask for it. Just keep doing your thing. There’s little that will kill your spirits like trying to keep up a series for three people."

This is so true, worrying about it will only add stress and probably lead to throwing in the towel.

I've often come across the advice to 'cull' your list. I don't really have a list to cull but I also didn't know that some email providers give users the option not to let the sender know. Are you saying that applies to Substack email subscribers or did you mean like Mailer Lite etc - or is it true for ALL?
