This is really interesting to read. For the longest time I thought I needed to price my Substack cheaper than others because I feel like a newbie: why would someone pay the same for my writing as they would for someone with thousands of subscribers? But then I realised that it was more about the quality of my writing than the years of experience I have (although I’m sure those who are more experienced have a higher number of paying subscribers, which I think is totally fair). I don’t have many paying subscribers, but I do have some; people are clearly happy to pay for my writing!
This is a bit of a ramble… but basically thank you for reassuring me that it’s ok to ask people to pay a decent amount for my writing 🥰

Absolutely - the quality of your writing and also, just whether they like you and how you show up... Ax
