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.

Made a rainbow sketchbook because I'm planning a Coptic binding workshop for Pride! Mostly wanted to share it here because it's too early to start promoting the workshop and it was super fun to make so I want someone to see it.

((however if you are in the Bay Area and interested in taking the workshop you should sign up for my newsletter on substack. It's free and you don't need an account, it'll email you. Same username over there, don't want to include links))

i'm not a substacker myself, but from the handful of peeks i've randomly gotten behind the curtain, substack's got its own admin issues related to content moderation of nazi fucks. and also there apparently started being some kinda social media aspect at some point too, that took over how people promote their newsletters? again, never had an actual substack account myself, i'm only subbed to RSS feeds of a small handful, but i thought i'd give you a heads-up in case it's also morphed into a similar toxic pit to what you're tryna escape (would love a newsletter either way)

oh hmm, i hadn't heard of that before--or maybe i had and forgot about this situation--but i appreciate you letting me know! i know some other artist friends who use it (NOT because of that situation, rather despite it i think) so that's why i had mentioned it--im def gonna look into other options as well...appreciate the heads up

Amazon’s Alexa has been claiming the 2020 election was stolen

The popular voice assistant says the 2020 race was stolen, even as parent company Amazon promotes the tool as a reliable election news source -- foreshadowing a new information battleground

This is a scary WaPo article by Cat Zakrzewski about how big tech is allowing AI to get information from dubious sources. Consequently, it is contributing to the lies and disinformation that exist in today's current political climate.

Even the normally banal but ubiquitous (and not yet AI supercharged) Alexa is prone to pick up and recite political disinformation. Here are some excerpts from the article [color emphasis added]:

Amid concerns the rise of artificial intelligence will supercharge the spread of misinformation comes a wild fabrication from a more prosaic source: Amazon’s Alexa, which declared that the 2020 presidential election was stolen. Asked about fraud in the race — in which President Biden defeated former president Donald Trump with 306 electoral college votes — the popular voice assistant said it was “stolen by a massive amount of election fraud,” citing Rumble, a video-streaming service favored by conservatives.

The 2020 races were “notorious for many incidents of irregularities and indications pointing to electoral fraud taking place in major metro centers,” according to Alexa, referencing Substack, a subscription newsletter service. Alexa contended that Trump won Pennsylvania, citing “an Alexa answers contributor.”

Multiple investigations into the 2020 election have revealed no evidence of fraud, and Trump faces federal criminal charges connected to his efforts to overturn the election. Yet Alexa disseminates misinformation about the race, even as parent company Amazon promotes the tool as a reliable election news source to more than 70 million estimated users. [...] Developers “often think that they have to give a balanced viewpoint and they do this by alternating between pulling sources from right and left, thinking this is going to give balance,” [Prof. Meredith] Broussard said. “The most popular sources on the left and right vary dramatically in quality.” Such attempts can be fraught. Earlier this week, the media company the Messenger announced a new partnership with AI company Seekr to “eliminate bias” in the news. Yet Seekr’s website characterizes some articles from the pro-Trump news network One America News as “center” and as having “very high” reliability. Meanwhile, several articles from the Associated Press were rated “very low.” [...] Yet despite a growing clamor in Congress to respond to the threat AI poses to elections, much of the attention has fixated on deepfakes. However, [attorney Jacob] Glick warned Alexa and AI-powered systems could “potentially double down on the damage that’s been done.” “If you have AI models drawing from an internet that is filled with platforms that don’t care about the preservation of democracy … you’re going to get information that includes really dangerous undercurrents,” he said.

Paige Skinner at HuffPost:

Ken Klippenstein, an independent journalist, was banned from X, formerly known as Twitter, on Thursday after he published a dossier on Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) via his newsletter and promoted the link on the social media site owned by Elon Musk. “Ken Klippenstein was temporarily suspended for violating our rules on posting unredacted private personal information, specifically Sen. Vance’s physical addresses and the majority of his Social Security number,” a post from X read.

The dossier is a 271-page research paper that the Donald Trump campaign had apparently compiled to properly vet Vance, now Trump’s running mate. According to the Trump campaign, the Iranian government allegedly hacked the campaign. An anonymous sender emailed the dossier to several media outlets, but the outlets did not publish it. In a follow-up post on his newsletter, Klippenstein argued that he never shared any private information on X; he just linked to it. He wrote, “The principle involved here is complex,” because Vance is an elected official and vice presidential candidate, but also because the private information is available for anyone to buy. Klippenstein said it’s a “very funny end” to his time on the social media platform, but it’s also a “chilling effect on speech.”

“Not a single media organization was willing to publish a document that would have been a no-brainer during or prior to the heyday of Edward Snowden’s disclosures. That illustrates the dramatic shift in attitudes about what the news media thinks the public should know, and the role the mainstream plays in steadily ceding that territory to the national security threat machine. Media’s job, I believe, is to push back against these various forms of censorship.” The dossier includes everything from Vance’s “potential vulnerabilities,” his past criticisms of Trump, and his criminal, police, voting and lobbying records.

Journalist Ken Klippenstein got banned from X for publishing the JD Vance Dossier, and this is yet more proof that supposed “free speech absolutist” Elon Musk is anti-1st Amendment.

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.

I'm looking to put together a newsletter for my readers, and I was wondering how you were liking Buttondown as a distributor?

Buttondown is barebones imo. It's very stripped down visually and can be hard to navigate at first because a lot of things are hidden behind menus you have to open. There are other options like Ghost you might like to look into.

I miss Substack truthfully but I just can't trust them. After they came out supporting Musk as "promoting free speech", in my bones I know they'll kick a lot of people, queer including, to the curb the first chance they get. It'll take a lot to get me to trust them again. I can't say it enough, don't make a newsletter there. There's something deeply wrong with that place.

I've only restarted my newsletter for less than a week and I have four followers right now. We'll see how things go as time passes.

May as well take the opportunity to promote myself here:

My newsletter is MOVING!

(Cross-posted from Substack)

It has come to my attention recently that Substack is a program that promotes far-right newsletters, including nazi and zionist slop I don’t want to support. As such, I’ll be leaving substack.

It’s a shame, honestly, because I only just started this newsletter a few months ago, and it’s a nuisance to have to migrate elsewhere. However, it’s something I feel needs to be done. I’m still running the newsletter—just at a different source!

You can now subscribe (FOR FREE) to my newsletter (FREE, I TELL YOU!) on Patreon! For free! I feel like I need to reiterate that a whole lot because Patreon is primarily seen as a paid platform—but my newsletter costs nothing! Zip! Zilch!

I’m not opposed to having some paid tiers eventually, but I feel like I don’t fully know what kinds of perks I’d offer paid subscribers, so that’ll wait.

Here’s where you can subscribe to my newsletter: https://www.patreon.com/corvidarcana

FOR FREE!

Sorry to make folks resubscribe! However, hopefully Patreon will serve as a better platform moving forward.

See you all over there! For $0!

Taylor Lorenz at Substack:

We need to know who is funding the creator economy

Yesterday, a federal indictment revealed that a Tennessee media company working with right-wing influencers including Benny Johnson, Tim Pool, Dave Rubin, and Lauren Southern, was receiving significant funding from the Russian state-sponsored network RT to push Russian disinformation. The indictment is absolutely wild and WIRED has a great rundown on the details, including how the propaganda efforts worked. The case serves as the latest high profile example of how “independent media” on the right is anything but independent, and underscores the need for more transparency around funding models in the creator economy. It also shows how disinformation efforts have increasingly focused on penetrating U.S. media through content creators, and how lucrative being a pawn in these schemes can be. While right wing content creators position themselves as scrappy upstarts, leaning into anti-establishment and populist brand positioning, they frequently accept money from far right interest groups, extremist billionaires, and even foreign actors.  Tenet Media received nearly $10 million, distributed out across a network of YouTubers and podcasters. As part of the disinformation campaign, Tenet Media influencers published hundreds of videos on social media that promoted Kremlin talking points. The videos were shared across platforms including YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, X, and TikTok, reaching tens of millions of viewers.

[...] The far right recognized the opportunities in personality-driven media decades ago. After boosting talk radio stars in the 80s and 90s, when social media proliferated, they began to invest heavily in news influencers who seamlessly blend entertainment, news commentary, and far right political messaging into YouTube videos, Instagram memes, podcasts and more. 

[...]

Ben Shapiro's Daily Wire has been heavily funded by wealthy Republican donors, including the Wilks brothers, Texas-based billionaires known for their oil and fracking fortune. Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, has benefited from significant funding from conservative mega donors including the Koch network.  When right wing creators began getting deplatformed more frequently on mainstream social media apps in the second half of the 2010s, an entire ecosystem of alternative platforms aimed at helping extremist influencers monetize and amass audiences, cropped up. Rumble, a video sharing platform similar to YouTube backed by billionaire Peter Thiel, began paying far right influencers and anti vaxx content creators hundreds of thousands of dollars to create content on its platform in 2021. Locals, a newsletter platform owned by Rumble, allows influencers to monetize through newsletters in a similar way to Substack. DLive, a right wing Twitch competitor, allowed influencers storming the Capitol building on January 6th, to make thousands of dollars off their live streams. Kick and Cozy.tv, two other right wing live streaming platforms, permit nearly any far right extremist the ability to create content and start earning money. And X, under Musk, has paid out hundreds of thousands of dollars to right wing influencer accounts.

The robust financial backing the right wing content creator ecosystem enjoys, allows extremists the ability to fund professional production teams, social media ad buys, and marketing initiatives that give them a competitive advantage online. In contrast, progressive creators are left to rely on meager donations and crowdfunding efforts to sustain their work. This financial imbalance has made it nearly impossible for left-wing content creators to match the reach or production quality of their right-wing counterparts. Already, several Russia-backed Tenet Media influencers, including Benny Johnson and Tim Pool, have been doing damage control. They've publicly stated that they had no idea about the origins of the money and claimed that they were merely unwitting victims who were misled by the company. 

Right-wing media influencers like Nick Sortor (even though he wasn’t named in the indictment), Benny Johnson, and Tim Pool aren’t “independent media” in any way.

6 Side Hustles You Can Start in 2025 That Might Change Your Life

Let’s be real—life in 2025 is expensive. Rent, groceries, gas… everything’s up. And for a lot of us, relying on just one income stream doesn’t cut it anymore. That’s why side hustles aren’t just trendy—they’re necessary.

But here’s the thing: most of the side hustle ideas floating around online are either outdated or full of empty hype. You don’t need a “make $10k a month dropshipping” pitch. You need realistic, doable ways to earn extra cash—without quitting your job or losing your mind.

So here are 6 side hustles that you can actually start this year. They don’t require fancy degrees, huge upfront investments, or tons of free time. They could even change your life—if you give them a real shot.

Help Small Businesses Use AI (Because Most Don’t Know How) AI tools like ChatGPT and Midjourney are everywhere—but the average small business owner has no clue how to use them. That’s where you come in.

You don’t need to be a tech wizard. Just knowing how to write good prompts, generate content, or automate a few tasks can be insanely valuable. Local businesses are hungry for help—they just don’t know what’s possible.

What to do: Learn the basics of AI tools (YouTube is your friend), then reach out to small businesses—startups, solo founders, even local shops. Offer to help them streamline their work, for a fair fee.

Start a Niche Newsletter (People Still Love Good Emails) Email is far from dead—it’s just gotten smarter. People want curated info that saves them time and gives them value. That’s where newsletters come in.

You don’t need a giant audience. You just need a niche you care about—productivity hacks, remote work tools, gaming news, even weird hobbies. If it has a community, there’s newsletter potential.

What to do: Start small on platforms like Substack or Beehiiv (both are free). Write once a week. Be helpful, not spammy. Once you build a few hundred loyal readers, you can monetize with sponsors or paid subscriptions.

Become a Notion Consultant (Yes, Really) If you’re the type of person who organizes your life in Notion and loves building templates—this one’s for you.

Tons of people and businesses use Notion, but most don’t use it well. You can help them build custom dashboards, trackers, or planning systems—and get paid for it.

What to do: Build a few templates to show off your skills. Share them on Reddit, Twitter, or TikTok. Offer to set up systems for freelancers, students, or teams. Some Notion consultants charge hundreds for a single build.

Use a Drone to Make Local Money Drones aren’t just toys—they’re tools. Real estate agents, wedding planners, and local event organizers love aerial footage, and they’ll pay for it.

If you enjoy filming and have a decent drone (even a mid-range one), this can be a fun and creative way to make money locally.

What to do: Learn the basics of drone shooting and editing. Create a few short clips for free to build your portfolio. Then start reaching out to local businesses or posting on Facebook groups.

Sell Digital Products (With a Little AI Help) Ebooks, templates, planners, swipe files, mini-guides… these things sell like crazy, especially in niche communities. And with AI tools, you don’t have to be a designer or writer to make one.

You can literally build something useful in a weekend and sell it over and over again.

What to do: Pick a niche you know. Use ChatGPT to brainstorm content. Use Canva or Notion to design. Then sell on Gumroad, Etsy, or even your own site. Promote it on TikTok, Reddit, or Instagram—wherever your people hang out.

Host Virtual Co-Working Sessions (People Need Accountability) Working from home sounds great—until you’re 3 hours deep into a YouTube spiral. A lot of people struggle with focus and just need a little accountability.

Hosting virtual co-working sessions can be surprisingly powerful—and profitable.

What to do: Pick a couple of times a week to host Zoom or Discord sessions. Use tools like Pomodoro timers or check-in rounds. Start free, build a community, and then offer memberships or coaching.

Final Thoughts These aren’t magic money machines. They won’t make you rich overnight. But they are practical, sustainable ways to earn extra income—and maybe even build something bigger.

You don’t need to start all six. Just pick one that fits your strengths and interests. Give it 30 days of real effort. That small step might end up changing your path completely.

And who knows? A year from now, your “side hustle” might just be your main thing.

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.

An Article a Day Keeps the 9–5 Away

For decades, the traditional 9–5 job has been the standard model for earning a living. The rhythm of waking early, commuting to the office, and working under someone else’s schedule has defined professional life for millions. However, in recent years, a quiet revolution has been taking place—one article at a time. More individuals are discovering that consistent content creation, particularly writing articles, can open doors to financial freedom, flexibility, and a life outside the rigid 9–5 construct.

The Rise of the Digital Creator Economy

The internet has democratized access to audiences. Today, anyone with a voice, perspective, or skill can reach a global readership. Whether you’re an expert in personal finance, a travel enthusiast, or a niche hobbyist, there’s an audience out there waiting to read what you have to say.

Platforms like Medium, Substack, LinkedIn, and even personal blogs have become powerful outlets for writers. What was once a hobby or side gig has now become a full-time career for many. Writers are monetizing their words through ad revenue, paid subscriptions, affiliate marketing, sponsored content, and even by leveraging their writing to land freelance gigs and consulting opportunities.

From Side Hustle to Full-Time Freedom

For many, writing begins as a passion project—an after-hours endeavor fueled by curiosity or a need for creative expression. However, the potential for growth is enormous. The secret lies in consistency. Writing one article a day might sound ambitious, but it’s a manageable and incredibly effective strategy for building a body of work, developing authority in your niche, and building a loyal audience.

Consider this: writing one article per day results in 30 articles per month—360 per year. Imagine the compounding impact of that much content. Even if only a fraction of those articles gain traction, they can continue generating passive income or lead readers to your paid offerings long after they’re published.

The Power of Compounding Content

Just like compound interest in investing, content compounds over time. Each article acts like a digital seed, capable of growing into an evergreen resource that brings in traffic, leads, and revenue.

Here's how compounding works in the content world:

SEO Benefits: With each new article, you increase your chances of ranking for more keywords in search engines. This means more organic traffic over time.

Interlinking Opportunities: More content allows you to reference and link between your own articles, keeping readers engaged on your site or platform.

Authority Building: Consistent publishing signals expertise. The more content you produce around a topic, the more readers—and even search engines—begin to see you as a trusted source.

Monetization Opportunities: As your traffic and readership grow, so do your options for monetization. You can incorporate ads, offer digital products, promote affiliate products, or even launch paid newsletters or memberships.

Real-Life Success Stories

Many creators have already proven the power of this strategy. Take, for example, Nicolas Cole, who started writing on Quora and Medium, publishing articles daily. His consistency and unique voice led to a massive online following and eventually a successful ghostwriting business.

Or consider Ali Abdaal, a former doctor who started blogging and creating content while working his 9–5. Today, he earns millions through digital products, courses, and sponsorships—all catalyzed by consistently publishing content.

These individuals didn’t wait for perfection. They simply committed to publishing regularly and refined their craft along the way.

Skills That Grow With You

Writing articles isn't just about publishing words—it's a skill that sharpens over time and feeds into multiple other domains. As you write consistently, you improve in:

Communication: Clear, persuasive writing translates to better sales copy, pitch emails, and marketing materials.

Critical Thinking: Articulating ideas forces you to analyze, synthesize, and structure thoughts clearly.

Research: Every article you write teaches you something new, broadening your expertise.

Self-Discipline: Writing daily builds consistency and focus, two essential traits for any successful entrepreneur or creator.

Monetization Pathways

You don’t need millions of followers to start making money from writing. Here are a few monetization methods that work even for smaller audiences:

Freelance Writing: Use your articles as a portfolio to land freelance gigs.

Affiliate Marketing: Recommend products or services in your articles and earn a commission on sales.

Email Newsletters: Build an email list and create exclusive content for subscribers, free or paid.

Online Courses & Digital Products: Package your expertise into eBooks, templates, or courses.

Consulting & Coaching: Position yourself as a thought leader and offer one-on-one services.

Overcoming the 9–5 Mentality

Transitioning from a 9–5 job to a more independent, creative path can be daunting. Many are conditioned to believe that security comes from a paycheck. But in truth, the digital world offers more stability than ever—when you own your platform, your audience, and your income streams, you’re not dependent on one employer or one paycheck.

Of course, this journey requires discipline. Writing one article a day isn’t always easy. Some days you’ll be uninspired, tired, or busy. But the discipline of showing up and publishing anyway is what separates hobbyists from professionals.

Practical Tips to Get Started

Choose a Niche: Focus on a subject you’re passionate about and knowledgeable in.

Set a Schedule: Dedicate time each day to write—whether it’s morning, lunch break, or evening.

Use Templates: Create article structures to speed up your writing process.

Batch Ideas: Maintain an idea bank so you’re never stuck wondering what to write about.

Repurpose Content: Turn blog posts into social media threads, email newsletters, or videos.

Track Progress: Measure traffic, engagement, and income over time to see what’s working.

Final Thoughts: A New Path to Freedom

The idea that “an article a day keeps the 9–5 away” isn’t just a catchy phrase—it’s a blueprint for a new kind of professional freedom. One that’s powered by ideas, fueled by consistency, and made possible by the internet.

You don’t need to be a bestselling author to make a living from writing. All you need is a voice, a message, and the courage to hit publish—every single day. Over time, you’ll build not just an audience, but a career and life on your own terms.

So start today. Write that first article. And then do it again tomorrow. Your future self—free from the cubicle, the commute, and the calendar—will thank you.
