Re:Launch HN: Substack (YC W18): Paid email newsletters made... by internet_jockey on Thursday February 08, 2018 @03:17PM (#16335227)
Fair question. The short answer is "hell yes." We already have writers on Substack making a lot of money with their newsletters. For instance, our first publisher, Bill Bishop, told the WSJ that he's making more money from his newsletter than he ever made from a corporate salary (he's a former exec and serial entrepreneur). Ben Thompson of Stratechery has many thousands of subscribers paying at least $100 a year. We can't share the private data of other publishers, but we have enough info to confidently state, that, yes, many people are happy to pay for newsletters.
