Where time allows (outside of three children under , moving to a new country and learning a new language) I also pitch for traditional press articles, podcasts and guest writing to boost my profile. I also teach for universities and accelerators and write non-fiction business books so I always mention my newsletter and bring a lot of my new connections over. Could you share how much you are currently making from Hype Yourself? With Substack, you can in theory have two pricing tiers, a regular tier and a “founding member” tier (which allows readers to pay more than the listed price as an extra show of support).
For now, I’m still perfecting my regular germany telemarketing list tier so I only have that on. It is $ a month or $ a year. Some months perform better than others, but after Substack and Stripe take their cut, I usually make about $, a month. How long does it take to put together a new edition and what does that process look like? I typically spend - hours a week writing and another - hours replying to comments, checking in with the community, editorial planning, and admin. I write the newsletter all on my own. I have paid for external editorial consultations and Substack growth support, but essentially, the rest, the words on screen, are all for me.
I have a specific format for certain pieces such as weekly PR Recipes for my paid community and the free to read The Hype monthly. The personal essays or sharing of my own story are as my creative energy feels at the time of writing. and encourage new paid subscriptions? I am constantly tweaking and refining the format for subscribers, talking to them, gathering feedback and creating resources based on the challenges they are facing. The PR recipes and the lives are often shaped around what my audience asks me about.
How do you keep your subscribers engaged
