Besides baking, they come to me for great dinner recipes that work or something new to bring to a party. They know I’ve spent time in the kitchen testing the recipes, and they, too, enjoy the process of baking and cooking so they want to tell me and other readers all about it.

My voice. I am at a stage in life where I’ve been there and done that and now can talk about it. I don’t mean just about cooking and baking, I mean about life and people not getting along and being so isolated.

Honestly, I didn’t know what I was getting myself into. For several months, I’d toyed with the idea of moving my Mailchimp list to Substack and committing to writing weekly.
</p>
<p style="color: #1a1a1a; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin: 0 0 1em 0;">
I stayed up late one night, asked my daughter to design a quick graphic of two lines for “between the layers,’’ and found a photo of myself that I didn’t hate.

I

<em>
did
</em>
<span>
know that I’d spent 40 years writing about food and knew I could make deadlines because I come from a newspaper background and also have written 15 cookbooks. From the get-go I wanted to monetize. People can just Google me or look in my cookbooks to know they are receiving something of value, right?
</span>
</p>
<p style="color: #1a1a1a; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin: 0 0 1em 0;">
Did I have fears? I didn’t know I needed to be scared. I was clueless. But I was definitely excited to launch on Substack and was so busy doing the business side of it that I forgot to tell my friends and family about it! That came later.

—it was favorite chicken recipes from our moms in advance of Mother’s Day. Two different audiences—my people were accustomed to my cake recipes, and Leah’s were accustomed to kosher Jewish recipes. It was successful, and I got a few paid subscribers. What I learned is that if the swap opens the door to content the reader didn’t know was out there, it’s a win! It does help if you have about the same number of subscribers so it feels mutual.

Celebrate milestones.
</strong>
<span>
Punctuate key moments in the life of your publication with a roundup of your posts, reflections, and a call to action for your readers. It’s a great way to celebrate with your most dedicated readers and bring casual readers into the fold.

Free content is the main stage, paid content is the backstage pass.

Paid posts provide insider knowledge, like shopping lists, personal stories, and family recipes, and allow the format to be fluid.
