Introduction to Level 4 of Udemy Course From Zero to Substack Hero

Section 21: Mastery and Beyond on Substack Source link to the image For those who missed, I shared the scripts of 20 sections covering levels 1, 2, and 3 of this exciting course. Today, I will provide a quick intro to Level 4 of From Zero to Substack Hero, which will be available on Udemy soon, but I have already uploaded the videos to my publication on Substack for members. Level 4 of our…

Black Friday is not just about cheap TVs, cut price gaming consoles, and saving money on laptops; it’s also about getting a bargain on Faraday cages to stop 5G from melting your brain, grabbing a great deal on biblically inspired diet pills, and securing that hot-pink T-shirt with a picture of president-elect Donald Trump on the front.

This year, far-right extremists, MAGAworld, and conspiracists are all jumping on the Black Friday bandwagon to try and persuade their followers to buy untested health supplements, unfunny novelty mugs, and guns—lots and lots of guns.

Rather than advertising on mainstream online marketplaces offered by sites including Google or Facebook, these groups are targeting their audience where they live, on fringe and alternative online platforms with little or no moderation. Spaces like Gab, a white-supremacist-friendly social network run by a christian nationalist. Or Telegram, where election deniers and neo-Nazi groups happily sit side-by-side despite new privacy changes being introduced this year. And of course,Trump’s own Truth Social, where his most devoted followers can be found.

Gab and Truth Social did not immediately respond to a request to comment. Telegram spokesperson Remi Vaughn said that ads placed through the Telegram Ads platform are vetted before they are shown.

For those feeling a little drained after Thanksgiving, alternative health company Exodus Strong is offering discounts on a dietary supplement which has “7 Biblically-inspired ingredients and a molecular hydrogen generating blend that optimize your Mind and Body to function the way God intended.” The tablets, which are currently being advertised up to 60 percent off on Truth Social, include, among other biblical ingredients, frankincense and myrrh. Those who purchase one of these supplements will even get a free gift: a prayer plan.

Undermining the boasts about the product slightly, however, is the disclaimer on the company’s own website that reads: “These products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.”

Launched just in time for Black Friday, the new online store from right-wing YouTube-alternative Rumble features a who’s who of conspiracy theorists and conservative agitators on its front page, including Trump confidante Laura Loomer and underpants-wearing baptiser Russell Brand.

The store itself is a cornucopia of unimagined gems, everything from Faraday cages for your phone to stop 5G melting your brain, to nuclear fallout preparedness kits for the bargain price of $349. Rumble did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Many far-right and conspiracy newsletters and subscription services are offering huge discounts to lock in their audiences for the next 12 months. Gab for example is offering 50 percent discounts on yearly subscriptions to its AI service, whose racist chatbots have been trained to deny the Holocaust.

An antisemitic Irish blogger who is a close ally of white supremacist Nick Fuentes is offering 40 percent off his Substack subscriptions directly to his existing readers, showing that the effort to cash in on Black Friday hype is not limited to extremists in the US.

By far the most popular Black Friday ads on these platforms are from gun manufacturers, who are offering huge discounts on everything from high-powered rifles to a pink “no drill cheek rest” for your scoped long gun. (The “MAGA Patriot,” a Trump-themed AR-15 that was created in the wake of the president-elect surviving an assassination attempt by the same gun, is not discounted for Black Friday.)

Some of these promotions are simply flogging pro-MAGA paraphernalia. On Truth Social, Fox News host Sean Hannity is promoting the Black Friday deals available in his own merch store. From coffee cups with the phrase “leftist tears” to a “Daddy’s Home” T-shirt featuring a picture of Trump in front of the White House wearing a hot-pink jacket, Hannity has something for all tastes—as long as those tastes align with a pro-Trump, MAGA, Christian nationalist view of America.

For those Trump supporters who may be missing the glory days of 2020 when they could come together online to rage against the voting machines for stealing the election, conspiracy group Audit the Vote PA has got you covered with a T-shirt emblazoned with the words “election denier,” advertised on Gab.

And the biggest election denier of them all, pillow salesman Mike Lindell, is, of course, having a massive Black Friday sale. The man who has sponsored huge swathes of the far-right media ecosystem with promotional codes for the last four years is now offering a two-pack of “We the People” pillow covers for just $25.

On these alternative platforms, discussions about Black Friday are not only about getting 50 percent off “Make Christmas Great Again” T-shirts. Those promotions are interspersed with incredibly antisemitic and racist posts about the day, including several featuring children in black face.

Some users of Gab and Truth Social are also pushing back against Black Friday, calling out the “deranged libtards who turn into dangerous NCPs” during the event (misspelling NPC, which is used to describe someone who is predictable or robotic.) Others insist they are “boycotting Black Friday��� because it’s a cash grab by the globalist elite.

And of course, conspiracies are never far away.

One user on Trump’s Truth Social, who calls themselves “Trust the Plan” (spelled like trusttheplqn), believes they have uncovered a secret message in one store’s Black Friday promotional material based on “intel” provided by another Truth Social account called Entheos. The conspiracy theory centers on the store promoting a “storewide blackout” for Black Friday, which “Trust the Plan” believes is code for something sinister taking place, though they fail to say exactly what this is.

“Black friday is on the 29th, but their sale starts on 27th (date that Entheos gave). And why would there be a ‘blackout storewide’ for black friday? You want complete opposite of a blackout...so people can actually shop.”

For others however, the situation appears much more dire. One Gab poster shared an article from a conspiracy site discussing a “global escalation” on Friday. The piece suggests that recent comments by Russian president Vladimir Putin related to launching a nuclear strike signal a looming apocalypse. “Stay Armed, Stay Safe, Patriots,” the poster wrote on Gab.

Authors, Let's Talk About Substack

Watching people celebrate a platform, and even remain on it, after it's been public for a while now that the platform sees nothing wrong in making money from hate speech (to put it mildly, more like fascism and naziism), is a lot like watching authors submit and sign contracts with publishers that have been screwing over authors for years, but they think it's not going to affect them. It doesn't matter what spots the leopard wears, in these cases, it is almost always going to eat your face. The question is how quickly do you realize it and how much it motivates you to move. "It won't happen to me" has got to be the most insidious phrase in whatever language you speak, because it contains an elitism that the reason why it happened to others is because they did something wrong. Something that you, of course, won't be doing. And yet, like a technological (and publishing) Cassandra, I know eventually it's going to bite them in the ass. Or eat their face. Or whatever. It isn't going to be happy either way. The current contender for this? Substack. In late 2023/early 2024 what had been percolating in tech and online circles finally became public: Substack has a nazi problem. Like it sees nothing wrong with making money from newsletters promoting hate, nazi rhetoric, and antisemitism. In a token gesture, they added a report button and removed five blogs, and for the most part the noise has died down. (Here's a Feb 2024 article from The Verge on the topic.) Except, if you know, you know, and I am not the only one who tries very hard not to subscribe to any Substack newsletters and looks askance at all of the big names flocking to substack. At this point, remaining on Substack is akin to remaining on Musk's X. You cannot be there and not be supporting right-wing, authoritarian, and fascist behavior because if you monetize your Substack newsletter, blog, whatever you want to call it, you're paying 10% of your sales to a company that just doesn't give a damn what you say so long as you pay. The ONE THING people with large audiences refuse to do to fight fascism is stop publishing on Substack. People are starting to publish on Substack—this month—because Substack keeps paying people to ignore their own moral center. You can’t fight fascism in a Nazi bar. You. Just. Fucking. Can’t. — Imani Gandy (@angryblacklady.bsky.social) April 21, 2025 at 5:58 AM Then there is this which was in response to an article talking about how group chats created an alliance between techbros and the far right. When I talk about how Substack was funded as part of a deliberate strategy to make a platform where they could mainstream their fascist ideas, this is the group I am talking about. The other suckers who put their newsletters on the platform are playing into this agenda.— Anil Dash (@anildash.com) April 27, 2025 at 10:58 PM The thing is, since Substack takes 10% of your subscriber revenue regardless of the number of subscribers at some point, you're losing money by staying there versus other platforms where you can make more. This article recently crossed my feed about Substackers who left actually making more money now that they are on a platform with a better pricing model. Originally, I was going to make this blog about how you can make more off of Substack (see that link above), but I've actually spent a few weeks thinking about this blog and here's the truth.

The system is broken. Giving in and paying the bad actors is exactly what they want you to do.

Instead, I am encouraging authors to be resourceful, be creative. And yes, I'm going to repeat the mantra I've been screaming since the early 2000s. You must build your own business on a platform you control as much as possible. Can you backup your data/export it to another provider if it turns out they suck/fold/go under/or become difficult to work with? Wordpress isn't perfect. Gods no, and I hate Automattic the company with the fiery burning passion of a million suns. But you know what? Wordpress is open source and distributed which means I don't have to do business directly with Automattic if I don't want to. And I'm happy to share with you how not to too.

But aren't all companies bad? Like we don't have a choice anymore.

I've heard that line as to why people are remaining on Substack and pretty much giving in on trying to have any sort of social conscience on their tech use. So let me put it to you this way? If you found out that your favorite beverage of choice was laced with enough lead and arsenic to cause permanent damage, would you still drink it? I sincerely hope not. Let's make this a little more realistic. If you found out that your favorite beverage or food was made with a chemical that could, over time, cause health issues you'd rather avoid. Wouldn't you start to make some adjustments in your drinking/eating habits? I'd like to think so. The bottom line is yes, corporate owned social media sucks and is most likely partnering with the same forces as Substack. There's also a reason why I, for example, don't by Amazon or Facebook ads and limit my use of Facebook. I'm starting to move my ebook and physical book purchases away from Amazon (This grad student loves Thriftbooks!) And personally I am loving spending my time on Bluesky or Mastodon, though neither platform is perfect either. Our goal isn't perfect. Our goal is to follow Maya Angelou's very poignant and powerful quote: "When we know better, we do better." That's all we can do. One step at a time. Let's all do better as a writing community. Epona Author Solutions offers website hosting and I am an author technologist. I LOVE to talk tech and websites. Our website hosting is designed for self-hosted wordpress.

Well, I blinked, and it’s time for another What I Wore Lately! This one’s a little more spread out than usual—some of these outfits are from right before our Florida trip, so you’ll see everything from cozy layers to lighter spring looks. But first, a quick note about my email newsletter… 📬 Having trouble getting my emails? I sent an email to everyone subscribed to my daily updates last Sunday, announcing that my emails would start coming via Substack instead of Flodesk. I said that you wouldn’t need to do anything and would continue getting my emails as usual—but it seems like a lot of people are now having trouble receiving them. If you were receiving my emails before but stopped seeing them after the switch to Substack on Sunday, here’s what to do: Add [email protected] to your contacts.

If you weren’t subscribed before but want to start getting my emails, you can sign up here: And now, back to our regularly scheduled programming… here’s what I’ve been wearing lately! Two Weeks of Everyday Outfits Plus Some Pre-Trip Looks It was still pretty chilly here at home before we left for Florida, but the weather has finally started to warm up—yay! As always, I’m sharing what I actually wore, along with notes on sizing, comfort, and how I styled each look. Hopefully it gives you a little inspiration to shop your closet and put together some fresh spring outfits of your own. SIZING NOTES: I’m 5’5″ and I usually wear a small or medium in tops and dresses, a 29 or 30 in jeans and pants, and a size 8 shoe. Gifted items are indicated by c/o; everything else I purchased myself. This outfit’s been sitting in my camera roll so long, I forget where I wore it! But this stripe top with the grommet detail is one of those easy pieces that goes with just about everything. I threw it on with light wash flares and white leather sneakers for a laid-back look. Bailey Stripe Grommet Sweatshirt (M) // MOTHER Weekender Flare (29) // Paul Green Hadley (8) The next day was quite chilly, as I recall. I had just gotten this splurge-worthy sweater in the mail, so I wanted to squeeze in a couple of wears before true spring weather arrived. I’m planning to bring it to England with me—the light neutrals make it perfect for this time of year. I paired it with light wash straight ankle jeans and finished the look with an old pair of P448 sneakers I just can’t quit. White & Warren sweater (M) // MOTHER Dazzler (29) // P448 John (39) // Jenny Bird earrings // similar tote Keeping it comfy and casual in a few of my favorite cozies… Once again, the light colors keep it from feeling so heavy for spring. old graphic tee // Gap Factory hoodie (S) // Aritzia Homestretch Pant (M) // On Cloud sneakers (9) I ran to the mall for a few last-minute things the day before our Florida trip. I think I was just really anxious to start wearing my spring clothes, because even though it was still chilly, I threw on a white tee with this cute linen bomber jacket (currently on sale!) Since I grabbed a black bag, I added a black belt and wore my VEJA sneakers with the black accents to pull it all together. Sanctuary linen bomber (S) // FRAME t-shirt (XS) // MOTHER Dazzler (29) // VEJA Esplar (39) // similar bag // similar belt Then that night, we went to a friend’s house for dinner. I recall being too cold in the tee and linen jacket, so I swapped them out for this navy and white stripe hoodie instead. It’s one of my favorite transition pieces—it looks fresh and springy but has enough weight to keep me warm. Sadly, it has sold out. I changed my sneakers, too, because a plain pair felt like a better match with the sweater. Isabel hoodie (M) // MOTHER Dazzler (29) // P448 John (39) // similar necklace After we got back from Florida, I hit the Pilates studio right away—I was definitely missing it! This is one of my typical outfits for class. I usually ditch the jacket about halfway through, once I start to warm up. Vuori jacket (M) // Athleta tank (M) // Vuori leggings (M) // ON Cloud sneakers (9) That whole week was rainy and chilly, and I had a few lazy days where I stayed in workout clothes and didn’t do much with my hair or makeup. But by Friday, I was ready to pull myself together and feel a little more human for my standing nail appointment. The sun was finally shining, it had warmed up, and I felt like I had a whole new lease on life! I wore this cheery red muscle tee with my new MOTHER Insiders. red muscle tee (S) // MOTHER Insider (29) // Beek flip flops (8) // NAGHEDI tote That night, we went out for my mother-in-law’s birthday dinner, and I tried on four different dresses before settling on one. This black knit sheath was a strong contender, but it felt a little dressier than I needed to be for the occasion. I’m also not sure about that chain detail—it kind of confuses me. The more I look at it, the more I wonder what it’s even doing there. Ming Wang dress (S) // Sam Edelman Cressa sandals (8) // similar clutch // similar silver hoops // silver bangle This striped dress is from last year, and it’s my go-to when I need something comfortable and elevated—but not too dressy. It also packs really well. I think it’s the most flattering of the three I tried on, but I was kind of in the mood to wear something new. AG stripe dress (S) // similar slides (39) // similar bag // similar silver hoops // silver bangle This navy Frank & Eileen muscle tee maxi dress was another great option—it’s one of those pieces that easily dresses up or down. I paired it with these woven kitten-heel sandals to elevate the look a little, but it still felt a bit plain, and it’s very long. I actually ended up returning it and ordering the shorter version to try instead. Frank & Eileen Cory Vintage Muscle Tee Maxi Dress (M) // Schutz Taliah Woven Sandals (8) // FREJA NEW YORK Caroline Bag // similar silver hoops // silver bangle In the end, I went with the ivory KUT from the Kloth sleeveless denim dress. It felt a little more fun and relaxed than the other three, and I just feel good in it. It’s structured enough to hold its shape but not tight or clingy, which means I can sit, eat, and not think about it. I threw on cognac flats to keep it comfy (plus, the dress is on the shorter side and heels felt a bit much) and added a woven tote to finish the look. KUT denim dress (M) // similar slides (8) // Dragon Diffusion tote // similar hoops // similar link necklace // bracelet pack That brings us to Easter Sunday! Two dresses in two days… I don’t even know who I am anymore. I’d been planning to wear this dress on Easter ever since I got it—the bright calypso blue is so pretty and seasonal, and the 3/4-length sleeves are perfect for a crisp spring day (which is exactly what we had). I paired it with slingback kitten heel pumps in a beige textured leather that mimics rattan for a springy vibe, and I broke out one of my white shoulder bags to finish the look. Even though it was sunny and mild, the wind added a bit of a chill—so I threw on a classic single-breasted trench to finish it off. old LOFT trench (S) // Ming Wang Contrast Panel Sheath Dress (S) // Sam Edelman Bianka Slingback Pump (8.5) // similar silver hoops I spent most of the next day working from home as well. I threw on this easy outfit to run out and pick up a few things at the grocery store. I love this washed black top—it’s one of those pieces that works with just about any jeans or pants. The length is perfect for wearing untucked, it has just enough structure that it doesn’t cling, but it’s still soft and comfortable. The V-neck is flattering, and I like the subtle seaming details. It also comes in a really pretty rose color. EVEREVE Teddy Washed V Neck Tee (S) // MOTHER Weekender Flare (29) // Birks (39) Last Thursday, I took the day off and met a friend at the mall for lunch and a little shopping. I ended up keeping my outfit super casual with a graphic tee and sneakers—mostly because I just couldn’t seem to pull together a look with any of my more elevated tops. That’s when I realized I could really use a pair of casual sandals with a bit of a heel to wear with my longer jeans this spring and summer. Spoiler alert: I found the perfect pair at the mall that day! They’re a little splurgey—but I tried on quite a few options, and this was the pair that checked all the boxes. The heel isn’t too high, the footbed is really comfortable, and the leather straps are soft and don’t rub at all. I especially love how they intertwine over the vamp—such a pretty detail. I wasn’t planning to get a brown pair, but I actually think they’re going to be surprisingly versatile. Clare V Ciao tee (L) // MOTHER Weekender Flare (29) // adidas Handball Spezial in Cream White/Coral/ Coral (8) // similar earrings // Jenny Bird Ola Bangle I played around with wearing that Splendid fleece peacoat draped over my shoulders—just in case it got chilly—but it felt bulky, so I ended up leaving it in the car. I didn’t go anywhere besides Pilates last Friday, so I skipped makeup—but I still got dressed in a cute outfit, just because. I’m really trying to make a habit of getting dressed every day. It just helps me feel so much more productive. Aiden Crop Shirting (S) // MOTHER Insider (29) // Gola Viper (7.5) // similar earrings I wanted to test out these new Maeve Colette linen pants from Anthropologie, so I wore them around the house on Monday with a striped tank and flip flops. They’re very comfortable—lightweight, breathable, and they didn’t really bag out throughout the day. That said, they’re cut really long through the rise, so unless I keep them pulled up high on my waist, they feel a little saggy. I’m still a bit undecided on these. Z Supply Elin Stripe Tank (M) // Maeve Colette (29) // Beek flip flops (8) And that brings us to yesterday! I had a photo shoot in the morning, and then I wore this familiar outfit for the rest of the day. These jeans are the perfect pull-on-and-go cropped pair for summer, and the bright tee just makes me happy. I’m also really enjoying these beige sneakers—they’re a softer alternative to stark white, go with everything, and they’re very comfortable. Just a heads-up: they run big, so definitely size down if you’re ordering!

Frank & Eileen Cory Vintage Muscle Tee Maxi Dress (M) // Schutz Taliah Woven Sandals (8) // FREJA NEW YORK Caroline Bag // similar silver hoops // silver bangle In the end, I went with the ivory KUT from the Kloth sleeveless denim dress. It felt a little more fun and relaxed than the other three, and I just feel good in it. It’s structured enough to hold its shape but not tight or clingy, which means I can sit, eat, and not think about it. I threw on cognac flats to keep it comfy (plus, the dress is on the shorter side and heels felt a bit much) and added a woven tote to finish the look.

Two dresses in two days… I don’t even know who I am anymore. I’d been planning to wear this dress on Easter ever since I got it—the bright calypso blue is so pretty and seasonal, and the 3/4-length sleeves are perfect for a crisp spring day (which is exactly what we had). I paired it with slingback kitten heel pumps in a beige textured leather that mimics rattan for a springy vibe, and I broke out one of my white shoulder bags to finish the look. Even though it was sunny and mild, the wind added a bit of a chill—so I threw on a classic single-breasted trench to finish it off. old LOFT trench (S) // Ming Wang Contrast Panel Sheath Dress (S) // Sam Edelman Bianka Slingback Pump (8.5) // similar silver hoops I spent most of the next day working from home as well. I threw on this easy outfit to run out and pick up a few things at the grocery store. I love this washed black top—it’s one of those pieces that works with just about any jeans or pants. The length is perfect for wearing untucked, it has just enough structure that it doesn’t cling, but it’s still soft and comfortable. The V-neck is flattering, and I like the subtle seaming details. It also comes in a really pretty rose color. EVEREVE Teddy Washed V Neck Tee (S) // MOTHER Weekender Flare (29) // Birks (39) Last Thursday, I took the day off and met a friend at the mall for lunch and a little shopping. I ended up keeping my outfit super casual with a graphic tee and sneakers—mostly because I just couldn’t seem to pull together a look with any of my more elevated tops. That’s when I realized I could really use a pair of casual sandals with a bit of a heel to wear with my longer jeans this spring and summer. Spoiler alert: I found the perfect pair at the mall that day! They’re a little splurgey—but I tried on quite a few options, and this was the pair that checked all the boxes. The heel isn’t too high, the footbed is really comfortable, and the leather straps are soft and don’t rub at all. I especially love how they intertwine over the vamp—such a pretty detail. I wasn’t planning to get a brown pair, but I actually think they’re going to be surprisingly versatile. Clare V Ciao tee (L) // MOTHER Weekender Flare (29) // adidas Handball Spezial in Cream White/Coral/ Coral (8) // similar earrings // Jenny Bird Ola Bangle I played around with wearing that Splendid fleece peacoat draped over my shoulders—just in case it got chilly—but it felt bulky, so I ended up leaving it in the car. I didn’t go anywhere besides Pilates last Friday, so I skipped makeup—but I still got dressed in a cute outfit, just because. I’m really trying to make a habit of getting dressed every day. It just helps me feel so much more productive. Aiden Crop Shirting (S) // MOTHER Insider (29) // Gola Viper (7.5) // similar earrings I wanted to test out these new Maeve Colette linen pants from Anthropologie, so I wore them around the house on Monday with a striped tank and flip flops. They’re very comfortable—lightweight, breathable, and they didn’t really bag out throughout the day. That said, they’re cut really long through the rise, so unless I keep them pulled up high on my waist, they feel a little saggy. I’m still a bit undecided on these.

I had a photo shoot in the morning, and then I wore this familiar outfit for the rest of the day.

I’m also really enjoying these beige sneakers—they’re a softer alternative to stark white, go with everything, and they’re very comfortable.

Invitation to Elevate Your Substack Newsletter and Medium Stories a New Reddit Community

Welcome to r/Substack_Mastery Let’s discover how Reddit can amplify your reach, connect you with engaged readers, and seamlessly integrate your Substack newsletters with Medium stories for remarkable growth. Dear Writers and Readers, In 2020, I faced an unexpected setback when I was banned from one of my favorite Reddit communities. My “offense” was sharing my personal journey with autophagy…

[boliteo]

Moving To Substack/Tumblr

During the supposed TikTok ban that never materialized, I was relentlessly promoted this website, Beehiiv, touted as a free alternative. While it’s free (until you surpass 2500 subscribers), it falls short of the short-form content that TikTok users crave. Essentially, it’s just a blog. Although it’s a clever concept, Substack excels in this regard. Moreover, Substack allows you to send your blog as a newsletter, which aligns with Beehiiv’s focus, but it’s entirely free for users, as far as I know. Additionally, Tumblr has always been free to blog. You can even connect Tumblr to other apps and automatically post between them, all for free. So, why would I use this service? Don’t misunderstand; if you find Beehiiv appealing, you can continue using it. However, by the end of this month, I’ll be closing this account and transferring all my posts to Substack and Tumblr. My links will be updated accordingly. See you later, and cheers!

The Rise of Biologics and Biosimilars: What It Means for Patients and Pharma

https://jpcdn.it/img/b8bec53ffd291e8e396ae4a9d37f60b3.jpg

In the ever-evolving digital landscape, subscription-based content has emerged as a powerful model for businesses looking to build long-term relationships with their audiences. From media and entertainment to SaaS and e-learning platforms, companies are leveraging this approach to create consistent engagement, improve customer loyalty, and generate recurring revenue. But what does this shift mean for marketers and, more specifically, for a marketing agency navigating this trend?

Understanding Subscription-Based Content

Subscription-based content involves offering valuable content on a recurring basis, often in exchange for a monthly or annual fee. This model is widely used by:

Media Platforms (e.g., The New York Times, Netflix, and Substack)

Software Companies (e.g., Adobe Creative Cloud, HubSpot, and Salesforce)

E-learning Providers (e.g., MasterClass, Coursera, and LinkedIn Learning)

Unlike traditional content strategies that rely on one-time interactions, subscription-based content ensures continuous engagement, fostering brand trust and customer retention.

Why This Matters for Marketers

For marketing agencies, the rise of subscription-based content presents both challenges and opportunities. Here’s how marketers can adapt and thrive in this landscape:

1. Focus on Value-Driven Content

Subscription-based models require high-value, exclusive content that keeps users engaged over time. Agencies must shift from a short-term promotional mindset to a long-term content strategy, emphasizing quality, relevance, and consistency.

2. Emphasize Customer Retention Strategies

Unlike traditional advertising, where success is often measured by conversions, subscription models prioritize customer retention and lifetime value (LTV). Agencies should develop content that keeps subscribers coming back, such as:

Personalized newsletters

Exclusive webinars and live Q&A sessions

Community-driven content experiences

3. Leverage Multi-Channel Distribution

A marketing agency must craft a cohesive multi-channel strategy that delivers content through email, social media, podcasts, and gated website content. The goal is to meet audiences where they are while maintaining a seamless brand experience.

4. Use Data to Drive Content Personalization

Data analytics plays a crucial role in understanding subscriber behavior. Agencies should utilize:

AI-driven content recommendations

Behavioral tracking to optimize content formats

Performance metrics to adjust strategies in real-time

5. Create Membership-Based Marketing Services

Just as brands are adopting subscription models, marketing agencies can offer their services on a subscription basis. This could include:

Monthly SEO content packages

Ongoing social media management

Regular performance reports and strategy updates

The Future of Subscription-Based Content Marketing

As the digital landscape becomes increasingly saturated, subscription-based content will continue to rise as a preferred model for engaging audiences. Marketing agencies that adapt their strategies to align with this trend will gain a competitive edge by offering sustained value, fostering deeper relationships, and securing long-term client success.

Final Thoughts

Subscription-based content is transforming how businesses engage with their audiences. For marketing agencies, embracing this model means shifting towards value-driven storytelling, personalization, and retention-focused strategies. By staying ahead of this trend, agencies can help brands cultivate lasting relationships and sustainable revenue streams in an evolving digital world.

Huge explosion as plane 'with at least two on board' crashes in Philadelphia leaving streets ablaze | 31 Jan 2025 | A small plane crash has left multiple people injured in Philadelphia as shocking footage shows chaotic scenes on the ground where it came down. Footage shared to social media shows the wreckage of the unknown flight near the intersection of Roosevelt Boulevard and Cottman Avenue around 6pm EST. CBS News is reporting that there was two people aboard the aircraft, citing police sources. It remains unclear at this time where the flight had originated from and what led to the crash. Emergency services are currently on the scene battling the flames from the collision. The aircraft appeared to hit several buildings and cars in the area leaving a trail of destruction in its wake.

Ukrainian MP calls for Putin's murder at Council of Europe | 31 Jan 2025 | Ukrainian MP [Grade 'A' sociopath] Aleksey Goncharenko has openly called on EU lawmakers to support the idea of assassinating Russian President Vladimir Putin and of promoting it among ordinary people. On Friday, the legislator published a video on Telegram of himself making controversial statements at the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE). According to Goncharenko, Kiev could ramp up support for its cause in the West amid a continuing conflict with Moscow by appealing to the most basic and easily understandable urges of people. To do this, Ukraine needs to draw a clear parallel between the Russian leader's demise and the benefits each and every EU citizen could get from it, he claimed.

Introduction + My October Craft Projects and Works-In-Progress

Hello Tumblrs! I'm Amy. What's your name?

Nice to "meet" you!

What do you blog about? Whatever it is, I look forward to checking out your corner of Tumblr.

I'm a freelance writer. I write about everything! But since I usually ghostwrite, most of my work gets published under other authors' by-lines. I like it this way.

But there are a few topics I write about using my own by-line:

*Crafts: crochet, knitting, needlework, paper crafts, etc.

*Fashion and Textiles: I hold a degree in textile design and worked in the textile / fashion / home furnishings industries for about decade.

*Books: I'm an avid reader and book reviewer. (You can check out crochet book reviews HERE and knitting book reviews HERE, if that sounds interesting to you.)

*Planning and Productivity: I obsessively use planners to keep myself on track.

My current crochet works-in-progress are fingerless gloves and crocheted coffee cup cozies.

I just moved my crafts newsletter to Substack!

The newsletter tool I used to use is now defunct, so I am in the process of emailing my thousands of subscribers and asking them to join me at my new provider.

I invite you to subscribe if you'd like to join in the fun, too!

In my newsletter, I mostly focus on sharing free crochet patterns, but I also share some pay-for patterns and some other types of craft project ideas. And I want to collab with other artists and crafters to help them promote their best work.

That's me and my current work-in-progress, in a nutshell!

Thanks so much for dropping by to say "hi!" I appreciate your interest!

SYNERGY (Newsletter Booster): Submission Guidelines 2024

Updated rules to publish your drafts in this specialized publication for writers, book authors, bloggers, and content marketers Dear Content Creators and Marketers,  To provide a comprehensive understanding of this unique publication, I have included an overview of its history, current landscape, and strategic direction. As a result, this piece is more extensive than typical submission…

[jon-mcbrine-author]

So, you self-published a book and marketing is difficult. Sales are low, and some days there are no orders at all. This is to be expected as a brand new author promoting a novel in an already overcrowded market. Since no one has heard of you or your characters, why not add merchandise on top of everything?

This is pretty much me in my pursuit of selling my debut full-length YA sci-fi book Unsecret Identity: Eric Icarus - Book One. Appearing out of the blue as a new writer can be surprising to readers or simply overlooked. After all, there are thousands of over authors pushing their stories, too. As an indie-creator, accepting this ambitious endeavor includes expecting long months of not much taking off. The book hasn’t set the world on fire - okay, this was a known possibility. It’s part of the journey; a prerequisite of non-traditional publishing. The process of developing a novel from the ground up is grueling and often goes unnoticed and lacking rewards. Not much of an indie writer’s life is glamorous. In fact, a self-published creator is more often than not toiling away in silence and working alone. If one book entails such a daunting workload, why add more?

For me, expanding my goals to include anything other than the actual writing itself, editing, cover art and any other illustrations (not to mention keeping up with the moving target that is social media), is well… crazy? Stacking up the items on my personal list is delusional? Whatever it may be, it is unequivocally enjoyable. That simple answer to adding more things for myself to do is I simply want to.

There is some marketing strategy at play so it isn’t purely a vanity project. As a graphic designer, I am gravitated toward the art aspect of fiction anyway. The overall creative aspect of making a novel come to life is such a pleasurable activity that the inherent headache that comes along with it is worth it. Loving the process is key because the destination or final achievement is a goalpost that tends to perpetually slide.

I’ve recently posted of my upcoming merch store, which I don’t have any preset notions of garnering excitement. Mainly these social media posts serve to inform anyone who happens to look that I intend to do a thing. Not quite the most buzzworthy news, but it is something that I’d feel strange about ignoring entirely. The merch store itself will essentially be links to online shops - in fact, I have a “shop” that is currently active on Teepublic but as of now, no book-specific items are listed. Not only will apparel based on the story be available, such as T-shirts, but I love the option of designing mugs, tote bags, decals, art prints, decor, device accessories, etc. Also, I’m very excited to eventually be able to sell bundles of signed paperback copies including bookmarks and stickers.

So, why would I produce merch for a novel that not very many people are aware of? The same reason readers will like the book - because it is fun. The adventurous spirit of taking on this challenge as an underdog encapsulates the core concept of Eric Icarus.

Stay in the loop for more details by following Jonfiction Blog on Substack and be sure to check out jonmcbrine.com for more info about this and all my books.

Unsecret Identity: Eric Icarus - Book One is available now from the Amazon as a paperback and as an ebook.

Crafting the Perfect Newsletter Introduction: Essential Tips for Engaging Your Audience

1.What is a good newsletter introduction?

 A well-crafted newsletter introduction serves as a critical gateway to the engaging content that follows, effectively capturing the readers' attention right from the start. It acts as a vital first impression, setting the tone and establishing the purpose of the communication. Ideally, the introduction should be both concise and informative, striking a balance that provides a compelling overview of the topics to be discussed. A professional introduction often begins with a warm welcome, fostering a sense of familiarity and connection with the audience. This is followed by a brief outline of key highlights or themes that will be covered in the newsletter, ensuring that readers have a clear understanding of what to expect. By doing so, it not only piques their interest but also encourages them to engage with the material in a meaningful way. Moreover, a strong introduction includes a clear call to action that motivates readers to explore further. This could involve inviting them to click on links for more detailed articles, participate in discussions, or even provide feedback on the content presented. By addressing the audience directly and articulating the unique value proposition of the newsletter, the introduction fosters a sense of anticipation and excitement. It lays the groundwork for a deeper connection between the content and the reader, ultimately inspiring them to delve into the material with enthusiasm. In essence, a well-crafted introduction serves not only to inform but also to inspire, creating a dynamic and engaging reading experience that encourages ongoing interaction with the newsletter.

2. How to start a newsletter?

 Starting a newsletter is a multifaceted process that requires careful planning and execution to maximize its effectiveness and engagement potential. The first step is to clearly define your target audience, as understanding who you are writing for will guide the tone, content, and style of your newsletter. Additionally, it is essential to articulate the purpose of the newsletter—whether it aims to inform, educate, entertain, or a combination of these goals. This foundational understanding will help you curate relevant content that resonates with your readers. Once your audience and purpose are identified, selecting an appropriate distribution platform becomes vital. Platforms like Mailchimp or Substack offer user-friendly interfaces, allowing you to design visually appealing newsletters while also providing analytics to track reader engagement and performance metrics. After establishing your audience and platform, the next step is to develop a comprehensive content strategy. This strategy should encompass a diverse array of content types, such as informative articles, practical tips, and engaging visuals, to keep readers engaged and eager for each edition. Furthermore, consistency plays a crucial role in building a loyal readership; therefore, establishing a regular publication schedule—be it weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly—will help set expectations for your subscribers. Lastly, promoting your newsletter through various channels, including social media, blogs, and even collaborations with other content creators, can significantly enhance your visibility and subscriber base. It is imperative to ensure that each newsletter edition delivers genuine value to your readers, fostering a relationship built on trust and reliability, which will ultimately contribute to the long-term success of your newsletter.

3. What has replaced newsletters?

In recent years, the evolution of digital communication has significantly transformed the landscape of information dissemination, leading to a notable decline in the popularity of traditional newsletters. The rise of social media platforms such as Twitter and LinkedIn has revolutionized how organizations share updates and engage with their audiences. These platforms facilitate instantaneous information sharing and foster real-time interaction, enabling organizations to connect directly with their followers and promptly respond to inquiries or feedback. This immediacy not only enhances communication efficiency but also cultivates a more dynamic relationship between organizations and their stakeholders, allowing for greater transparency and engagement. Moreover, alternative content formats have emerged to meet diverse audience preferences and provide more nuanced analysis. Blogs, for instance, offer a deeper exploration of specific topics, allowing organizations to present comprehensive insights and establish thought leadership in their respective fields. Meanwhile, podcasts and video content have gained traction, appealing to audiences who prefer auditory or visual formats for information consumption. The evolution of email marketing has also played a pivotal role in this transformation, as organizations now leverage tailored campaigns that emphasize audience segmentation and personalization. By ensuring that content is relevant and resonates with specific demographics, email marketing has become more effective, further diminishing the relevance of conventional newsletters. Collectively, these innovative communication strategies have reshaped how information is shared and consumed, effectively rendering traditional newsletters less significant in the contemporary digital landscape.

4. How to write a great newsletter?

To create an effective newsletter, it is essential to start by thoroughly understanding your target audience and their specific interests. This foundational step allows you to tailor your content to resonate with your readers, ensuring that it is not only engaging but also relevant. A compelling subject line serves as the gateway to your newsletter, capturing attention and encouraging recipients to open and explore further. Once your audience is engaged, the content itself should be crafted with clarity and precision. Structuring the newsletter with headings and bullet points facilitates easy navigation and enhances readability, allowing readers to quickly glean the most important information. Incorporating visuals, such as images or infographics, can further elevate the engagement level by breaking up text-heavy sections and providing a more dynamic reading experience.

Equally important is the inclusion of actionable insights and tips that offer genuine value to your readers. This demonstrates a commitment to their needs and interests while establishing your authority in the subject matter. Consistency in maintaining your brand voice and style is crucial, as it fosters familiarity and trust among your audience. To promote interaction, consider including calls-to-action that encourage readers to provide feedback, share their thoughts on social media, or even participate in surveys. Lastly, analyzing key metrics such as open and click-through rates will help you refine future editions, ensuring that your newsletter evolves alongside your audience's preferences and continues to deliver impactful content that resonates with them. Emphasizing these elements will contribute to the overall success and effectiveness of your newsletter, making it a valuable resource for your subscribers.

5. How do you arrange a newsletter?

Arranging a newsletter is a multifaceted process that necessitates careful planning to achieve clarity and foster engagement among readers. The first critical step is to define the target audience and the primary purpose of the newsletter. By understanding who the readers are and what information will be most valuable to them, content can be tailored effectively, ensuring it resonates with their interests and needs. Following this, it is essential to create a structured layout that not only captures attention but also facilitates ease of navigation. A compelling headline serves as the initial hook, drawing readers in, while an introductory section sets the tone for the content that follows. Clearly delineated articles or sections allow for a logical flow of information, making it easier for readers to digest the material. Incorporating visuals, such as images, graphs, or infographics, can significantly enhance the newsletter's readability and visual appeal, breaking up text-heavy sections and providing illustrative support for the content. It is equally important to maintain a consistent tone and style throughout the newsletter to establish a cohesive identity that readers can easily recognize. Prioritizing key information ensures that the most critical messages are communicated effectively, while including a compelling call-to-action encourages reader interaction and engagement. Finally, a thorough proofreading process is vital to ensure grammatical accuracy and professionalism, and testing the formatting across various devices guarantees optimal delivery and presentation. These steps collectively contribute to creating a newsletter that is not only informative but also engaging and visually appealing to its audience.
