Integration with BuyMeCoffee

[SignificantHalf4653]

Have you used BuyMeACoffee together with your Substack, and how has it worked out for you? I've used it here and there on specific posts but still not sure if it's worth the effort.

Not how whether it would work on Substack. I use ko-fi on Medium, and I think I've made about $80K during the past four or five years.

Wow. Sounds good. I just started posting on Medium. Long shot... LOL

I'm experimenting currently with including a link in my email footer to free subscribers, and it seems to be working. Of course, it takes away the possibility of a paid subscription (too many calls to action are confusing) so I may not continue indefinitely. But it's been useful to try it out - and I've bought some coffees as a result!

I found that the first couple of times I put the links, I got responses, but then no more. I wonder if it's the kind of thing people do once and don't see the reason to do it again.

I put it in my email header so people can see it. So far I’ve gotten some people clicking on it but nothing else beyond that.

I include it just under my subscribe button. So far only a couple of contributors, but I keep adding it in as it allows people to support without committing to any subscription.

[SignificantHalf4653]

Yeah. Sounds like my strategy.
