I only read (and love) you on the Substack App so haven't received emailed newsletters for some time. I believe I have successfully logged into your new website, think I have subscribed to emailed newsletters, and my annual paid subscription and renewal date looks to be correct ... fingers crossed. I'm no technology whizz, but if that's all it took, then the transition was seamless!
Good luck with the move to the new platform Nadine - I shall come and have a look. I'm positive the high quality of your writing will carry you well wherever you go.
Now that you point it out I feel the Substack push for paid subscribers is a tad in the face too. Reading around Ghost myself I can see why. the paid subscription vs the take a % of your earnings thang. That in itself would create a platform where there is benefit from sales. Hence the push. I wish you well and will most likely follow...........may as well learn from the wise now.........and people whose kaupapa and ahua I respect and believe. Thanks again for the honesty and heart. While the money is something we all need, it's not about the money in the end....or the fibber around making a living.....I long for an honest space. I know there is so much honesty and transparency on Substack from writers and creatives..........I like the idea of becoming a Ghost. :-)
Tēnā koe, I love reading your reasoning! So much integrity! The pyramid scheme factor seems an apt diagnosis 🥲 I don’t know how this happened but my Substack Notes area of the app is filled with commentary from writers on the ins and outs of their own and others marketing approaches on the platform. It could be that I am too squeamish, but there seems to be almost a culture of gurus and paranoia going on that doesn’t feel necessary to me. Love the way Ghost has had such an open dialogue with you, congrats on the shift 💛
