I'm thinking of adding a paid option to my newsletter soon. My book will be out in a few months' time and I'm wondering if I also add a chapter a month for paid subscribers...? But do you add this chapter as a linked PDF or do you literally copy it as text in to your newsletter? I'm thinking the later might just make the newsletter too long? Would welcome your advice. Thanks
Thank you! Congrats on your upcoming book -- and very cool you're launching a paid tier. I would recommend just putting the chapter in the body of the newsletter as it's easier for your subscribers to access: if a newsletter is too long for a single email it will just prompt readers to visit the Substack page to read the rest, so I think that's an easier reader experience for people rather than clicking away to a separate PDF!
Love reading your work, Amy!

Oh amazing, thanks. Who knew!?! That's definitely easier, especially if it automatically creates a read more button. Thanks Amy!
