         And in terms of content, I publish a weekly podcast, in video and audio form with video excerpts with transcripts, I share original writing and audio monologues, occasional guest posts, public email exchanges with and between audience members, and monthly Q&amp;As with John McWhorter and me, available to paying subscribers. I shoot for continuous creative experimentation.

         I had been monetizing the podcast through Patreon since the fall of 2020. Making the show profitable allowed me to invest in better recording equipment and hire a small staff and, secondly, feel more secure in my professional future. If, for whatever reason, the institutions I’m affiliated with stop paying me, I’ll still be able to make a living. Lessening my financial dependence on those institutions ensures that I can speak my mind without worrying that I’ll lose my livelihood.

        <p style="color: #1a1a1a; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin: 0 0 1em 0;">
         Financially, I was doing just fine on Patreon. But it isn’t as well suited as Substack to publishing writing and engaging with the audience in the comments. Plus, with the newsletter growing, it made organizational sense to consolidate all of my content.

          What made you launch your podcast on Substack?

        </h3>
        <p style="color: #1a1a1a; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin: 0 0 1em 0;">
         I had been publishing the podcast through Bloggingheads.tv and migrated to Substack after the newsletter had already become a success—this made sense organizationally, gave me more ownership of the feed, and allowed me to save money on hosting costs.
        </p>
        <p style="color: #1a1a1a; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin: 0 0 1em 0;">
         The crucial feature of podcasting on Substack is the ability to publish episodes for paying subscribers only (in my case, I release them to the rest of the audience five days later).
        </p>
        <h3 style="-moz-osx-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: 'SF Compact Display', -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol'; font-size: 1.375em; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1.16em; margin: 1em 0 0.625em 0;">
         <strong>
          What’s the sharpest insight you can offer other writers about growing on Substack?
         </strong>
        </h3>
        <p style="color: #1a1a1a; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin: 0 0 1em 0;">
         There’s not a one-size-fits-all solution, but this is what has been working for me:
        </p>
        <p style="color: #1a1a1a; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin: 0 0 1em 0;">
         I maintain a consistent schedule and have a clear model of growth. Subscriber benefits are very straightforward: early access to new episodes every week, a monthly Q&amp;A, and occasional subscriber-only posts.
        </p>
        <p style="color: #1a1a1a; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin: 0 0 1em 0;">
         The content itself is not something you can find elsewhere. There just aren’t many high-profile black academics who occupy my ideological space, have my range of experience, and, frankly, have my ability to speak compellingly and extemporaneously.
        </p>
        <p style="color: #1a1a1a; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin: 0 0 1em 0;">
         I am on a mission—John and I jokingly call ourselves “Wokebusters”—and, to my listeners, supporting my work means helping this mission along.
        </p>
        <p style="color: #1a1a1a; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin: 0 0 1em 0;">
         I think of my readers and listeners as not just an audience but a community. They know I read their comments and reply when I can. They write me letters, and I publish some of them in the newsletter. They can ask John and me questions to be addressed on video. They also let me know when they think something isn’t working, which is just as valuable as praise. A portion of the money they pay goes to help grassroots causes around the country, and I know many of them feel good about that.
        </p>
        <p style="color: #1a1a1a; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin: 0 0 1em 0;">
         I also think the fact that the newsletter is constantly evolving, that we’re trying new things, must be a factor. It’s more exciting to support somebody who’s getting better and gaining momentum than somebody who’s stuck in their ways. We’ve got a good baseline strategy that ensures everybody gets what they paid for, and that gives us leeway to play around and see what the format is capable of.

         I can’t think of one. What I’ve mostly heard is “Keep doing what you’re doing.” That said, I’ve been doing what I’m doing for a while now, and it will probably take less experienced writers a little bit of time to find their footing.

         There wasn’t a single pivotal moment—I’ve had a sustained growth throughout the newsletter’s history—but local spikes do happen every now and again.

         The most recent one—65 new paying subscribers in two days—was triggered by a publication of the video of a

         An earlier one happened when I published an autobiographical audio essay titled “
         <a rel="nofollow ugc noopener" style="color: #1a1a1a; text-decoration: underline;">
          The Double Life
         </a>
         .” It comes to mind not so much because of the growth in numbers, but because of the incredibly positive feedback it received and the encouragement I got from it—which gave me inspiration to continue in the same vein (
         <a rel="nofollow ugc noopener" style="color: #1a1a1a; text-decoration: underline;">

        <p style="color: #1a1a1a; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin: 0 0 1em 0;">
         Both of these were experiments, both were successful, and I have plans for developing both of these directions further.
