My bias, I make money on Medium using my medium blog as a newsletter(recent traffic analysis puts $100 per 1000views per month current month is 30k views and 300 income thus far for April). To make any paid newsletter work you have to have other sites where they get short-form snapshots of free content that act as advertising for the paid content, not mine view...garyVee's own content stack philosophy. This is why Taibbi was jumping up and down about his stuff being blocked on Twitter as he was posting free short-form content to advertise his substack newsletter. It's not a simple as the author theorizes. For example for me to reach the magical 500k per month views I have to make 500 short-form or more posts to places like LinkedIn and Instagram. Not saying that Substack will not reach some form of reach in the social media economy just that the author has not a clue how creating content in the social media space actually economically works. Other things I do not know yet: -Several GDE's have sponsors for their own dev/design flutter app content, I have no idea if their sponsorship income is more or less than my currently monthly earnings. My own best guess is that it might be a little higher but not much. My content stack progress path looks like this coding apps->medium long form articles-paid->short form snippets in reel-shorts as slides->mini-guidebooks-paid->paid ui kits->paid books->paid-video courseware Just thinking out loud, maybe someone else gets some use of seeing the path and work involved.
