While I was unpaid, I was only posting once per month, so going paid felt like a big commitment.

         Over the years, as other platforms like Instagram have become more algorithm-led, authors have gradually found it harder to communicate with our real fans, so creating chats and virtual gatherings is a great way to stay connected and create conversations.

            I imported my existing newsletter subscribers from Squarespace; the list was close to 10,000. I launched my Substack publication on March 15, 2022, embedded the signup form on my website, and new subscribers came in very quickly. I think launching as a free publication really helped in building my list because it gave people the chance to “try before you buy.” This period was important because it allowed me the space and time to work out what I wanted

Since I moved to the USA eight years ago, keeping in touch with my global community has been paramount to me, and Substack allows me to do that. Unlike a cookbook that takes two or more years to be released or an editorial recipe that is planned months in advance, my Substack offers my readers a unique window into what I’m cooking and passionate about
