It’s been an incredible and creatively fulfilling eighteen months on Substack; I am grateful to have discovered a platform that seamlessly pulls all my different creative threads together and has also (as a bonus!) allowed me the freedom to step away from social media. It actually feels incredibly radical to have a self-funded media platform that doesn’t rely on advertising or corporate sponsors. I haven’t chased an accounts department in months.

<strong>
Your content really is everything.
</strong>
<span>
Substack is just a platform that facilitates the words/images/video — it is what YOU add to it that matters. You have a unique voice, you have a space to share your ideas, you have your own network of people you’ve met over the years. Just like blogging back in 2009 — the same advice goes: treat it as an evolving freeing space, know your audience, write what you enjoy, have a stab at what you feel is missing online, try new things, be imperfect. Throwback to ‘96 when Bill Gates wrote about how
</span>
<a rel="" style="color: rgb(64, 64, 64); text-decoration: underline;">
“content is king”
</a>
<span>
. Knowledge is power. What you know matters. I’ve always believed that what we are trying to do/communicate doesn’t fundamentally change, it’s just the platform that does. I am still doing exactly the same thing I did in 2009 with my blog. It’s just that both me and the Internet have both matured (and I’ve gathered some people along the way.)

<strong>
Try new things.
</strong>
<span>
Adjust accordingly if things don’t really work. For example I launched
</span>
<a rel="" style="color: rgb(64, 64, 64); text-decoration: underline;">
The Hyphen Book Clinic
</a>
<span>
last year but it got a lukewarm reception so I have phased it out for now. Keep iterating.

<strong>
Trial guest columns.
</strong>
<span>
If you can’t pay, you can do post-swaps so it is mutually beneficial. Now that The Hyphen is profitable, I pay guest columnists and I commission articles I find interesting. It’s a great content strand that I enjoy working on and brings in new paying members.

<strong>
Stick to your themes.
</strong>
<span>
I write about careers, books, creativity, wellbeing and digital themes. I don’t really go outside of this. It’s not necessarily about having ‘a niche’ but it is about sticking to your themes, otherwise it’s difficult to attract your audience and have them stick around.

<strong>
No adverts.
</strong>
<span>
The reason people pay for The Hyphen is because they enjoy the space I’ve created which is free of ads. It brings authenticity and freedom. It means you are paying for an ad-free space.

<strong>
Do not try and appeal to everyone.
</strong>
<span>
I do not want to be famous. I am not trying to make The Hyphen go mainstream. I don’t want to employ anyone. Those are not my goals. Fostering the community is.

<strong>
Serve the number you have.
</strong>
<span>
There’s this brilliant line that I remember Glennon Doyle saying about when she was first growing her Instagram account: “I served the first 14 people in my community the same as I did when it was 14,000.” Basically: put the same amount of effort in for the people who show up for you, no matter how many it is.

<strong>
Growth takes time.
</strong>
<span>
Context is key. Although I’ve been on Substack for only 18 months and attracted a large engaged audience; I have been writing online for 14 years! I started a newsletter in 2016. I have been paid to write for online magazines for the past decade. In many ways, ‘writing on the Internet’ has been my life’s work up until now — and everyone who is interested in my work has come with me. I am not ‘new’ to this. It is important to mention this, because anything that is a craft takes time, takes patience and takes perseverance. Someone else’s 18 months might look different to yours, the important thing is you feel motivated on your own path for your own reasons.
</span>
</p>

<li style="margin: 8px 0 0 32px; mso-special-format: bullet;">

<strong>
Social media.
</strong>
<span>
People assume my growth has come having a social media following. It has and it hasn’t. Originally I grew a 9,000 list on Mailchimp (writing newsletters on and off) between 2016-2022 (and yes this was by telling people about it on Twitter/IG at the time.) But mostly, new subscribers come from
</span>
<em>
people forwarding on the emails to their friends
</em>
<span>
. Back to the very first point, that your content is everything. Since joining Substack my list grew from 9,000 to 25,000 in 18 months. Out of the 10 main ‘sources’ (that I get new subscribers from) Twitter and Instagram are right at the bottom of that list. Top sources are: email, Substack app, Google, my own website, other Substackers. Substack is more about online networking rather than just broadcasting into the ether.

<strong>
Check your graphs
</strong>
<span>
. Get geeky with the analytics. Spot patterns, what posts did well? Who has recommended you? Any random things that surprise you? For example, people seem to be stumbling across my posts via Linkedin. Look closely at what is working / not working. Trial and error.

<strong>
Free vs paid posts:
</strong>
<span>
I made a decision after a year of Substack, that I wouldn’t write for free anymore. I have spent
</span>
<em>
years
</em>
<span>
writing for free at this point, and so I made the choice to focus only on my members. (I also offer a small handful of complimentary subscriptions to those who genuinely cannot afford it.) It is recommended by Substack HQ that you offer free posts at first in order to attract your audience. I have done that for years, and now I no longer do it. You can always put a ‘free trial’ on your paid-for posts if people want a little taste. At the moment, I don’t have this option. You can pay for a single month at £6.99 and fill your boots, or you can stay as an on-going member and join the brilliant community (which is cheaper if you pay for the year at £65).

<strong>
Paywalled archive:
</strong>
<span>
I get asked about this a lot and it will work differently for each person, but in general, I make more ‘universal’ posts free that might appeal to a bigger audience, but I make the really valuable stuff available for paying members only. The stuff with the real meat on the bones, the community aspect, the stuff is either very personal, truthful or insightful. I put 80% of my archive behind a paywall for the reasons I mention above.

As I mention above,

<strong>

I share my posts occasionally on Instagram and Twitter (combined 120k followers) and hardly anyone comes over from there. The conversion rate is small — the conversion comes from within the Substack network, and newsletter posts themselves. (And Linkedin apparently.)

<strong>
Like a magazine, there needs to be a schedule.
</strong>
<span>
This doesn't mean writing every day. It means posting when you say you'll post. For me, that is two or three times a week. (A thread, a post, a round-up.) For you, it could be once a month. Consistency also means taking breaks at intervals that work for you and letting people know. Every time I take a break, I return to more subscribers, not less.

<strong>
Follow your curiosity.
</strong>
<span>
Curiosity really is everything with life but also career-building. What are you leaning towards, and why? What are you wanting to know more about? Even when it comes to envy/jealousy — what are you envious of? Be clear with yourself on why you want to write and what you want to build.

<strong>
Remember who inspires you
</strong>
<span>
. For me, it’s prolific author Julia Cameron (I have a whole bookshelf dedicated to her in my office.) I love reading about her life but also about her creative tools. If I’m feeling stuck, I pick up one of her books. I trust that if I am honest and write clearly and simply, I will connect with my readers.

<strong>
Make it fun.
</strong>
<span>
‘How are you so consistent’ is a question I get asked. The truth is I find it fun. Writing
</span>
<em>
gives
</em>
<span>
me energy, it doesn’t take it away. It’s low stakes too — it doesn’t have to be perfect. I like the act of putting words together; and finding a little image to match my post on Getty. I trick myself sometimes into pretending this isn’t a job when it very much is a job. I look forward to writing it. I do things that make it tempting: burning a nice candle; a good Spotify playlist, eating a cookie after I’ve written something, going to a nice café that does good coffee, I put a soft blanket on my lap, I read someone else’s Substack to give me a little boost. Running a Substack also means not running out of ideas. A writer’s life means having things to write about. Say yes to experiences (big or small) and you'll never run out of content. You don’t need to be at a desk, type on your phone if you have a burning idea, the app is great for that.

Believe in what you are creating.
</strong>
<span>
Believe that you have something to offer. Which doesn’t mean quitting your job in order to grow a Substack. I took a massive risk quitting my podcast to pool my resources into Substack, but this platform felt better, more aligned with where I’m at, and how I want to spend my time. I didn’t do that lightly, I could see the growth happening so made a decision to go for it, plus I also have other income streams (I’ve written about this
</span>
<a rel="" style="color: rgb(64, 64, 64); text-decoration: underline;">

) to tide me over for the basics if it didn’t work out. But: it took an element of risk to invest my time and energy into Substack that may or may not have yielded such good results.

<span>
Lots of people talk about ~business strategies~ but fail to ask how they

feel

<span>
. The reason I can show up on this platform every week with plenty of ideas is because every week I nourish myself with one of the following: Morning Pages, a walk, a swim, a date with a friend, reading something that inspires me, being creative in other ways (food/art/movement.) Creative energy is an important part of running a business that relies on you/your ideas. Here are some questions to ponder:

</ul>
<p style="color: rgb(64, 64, 64); font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin: 0 0 20px 0;">
<span>
- What makes you feel good?
</span>
<br/>
<span>
- What drains you? What gives you energy?
</span>
<br/>
<span>
- What’s stopping you?
</span>
<br/>
<span>
- What does consistency look like for you in this phase of life?
</span>
<br/>
<span>
- What puts you in a good writing mood?
</span>

- What keeps you motivated on here?

- What would you be happy to write about for years on end?
</span>
<br/>
<span>
- What other writers inspire you/make you feel good?
</span>
<br/>
<span>
- Which content/pieces get the best feedback?
</span>
<br/>
<span>
- What topic do you find endlessly fascinating?
</span>
<br/>
<span>
- How can Substack compliment any other work you do?
</span>
</p>
<p style="color: rgb(64, 64, 64); font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin: 0 0 20px 0;">
Having motivation or ‘goals’ (for Substack/anything) isn’t about hatching a massive grand plan or gunning for it overnight, it’s about the small choices we make over and over again; and how we show up in our habits and daily practice. For me, it’s writing on here regularly (and taking a short break every three months or so). I’m so glad so many people are enjoying it, I’m really enjoying it too.
</p>
<p style="color: rgb(64, 64, 64); font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin: 0 0 20px 0;">
I’m aware that from reading this long post it looks like running a Substack is a lot of work. It is. But it’s the best job I’ve had in a long while.
