I only started taking it seriously in January/February 2024 with:

• about 3,000 free subscribers (was pregnant before, had to take care of my baby)

• zero paid susbcribers (turned the paid button on last January)

• zero earnings (no paid subscribers, no earnings)

• zero followers

Fast forward to today, I have 18,000 subscribers. The Online Writing Club is an #International Substack Bestseller.

Conversations with Substack's team helped me!
