The hourly rate calculator is especially helpful, thanks! However, why Substack over other newsletter platforms? I feel like it's drowning in content and buries new profiles unless they are hyperactive on Notes and post several times a week. It's exhausting. While it's still the leading platform, successful newsletters don't have to be on Substack. Patreon, Ghost, or even newsletter generators from website hosts like Squarespace can be effective without all the noise.
Glad you found the hourly rate calculator helpful, Amanda! Personally I've found Substack's organic growth funnels + growth tools to be the best, and I'm rarely active on notes. But everyone's different! You need to figure out what platform works for you.
Many thanks for these, Amy.
Of course!
