Growing the substack?
Getting another job in journalism?
How long can you survive without a "normal" job?
Genuinely interested, no hate
Hey Karl, what's your plan for the future?
-
Growing the substack is the only goal
Right now it is at 2,500 free subscribers and growing exponentially
Just need to keep grinding and it will hit 10,000 subscribers soon enough, at which point I will be making enough money to live
It is all upside from thereI like that you're pursuing your own goals, that's cool.
-
are you moving out of Canada?
Yes, I have a ticket booked for September
to where
i would prefer to keep my city/location private because i dont want to get murdered by my stalker
I am afraid he will show up to halifax. There is always that chance. So I will not disclose the next place i go
its scary stuff

It is all upside from thereBut you only have 61 paying subscribers, so your conversion-rate is 2%.
Then,the total fees you pay are about 21%: https://lifehacker.com/how-much-money-can-you-really-make-on-substack-1846676048
Assuming you charge $84/yr for each subscription, 10,000 subscribers would give you 200 payers, grossing you $16,800.00. After paying all your fees, your annual income would be:
$13,272.
That's only marginally better than your welfare check, Champ.

-
And then what will you say when I have 30k subscribers? Then 50k? Will you still be making these calculations?
I'll say hell really did freeze over, and you're not completely deIusional and detached from reality is you appear to be in all of your words and actions.
