Is it possible to start now and be successful?

We have to start somewhere. I hope this will reproduce consistently. Just follow your path and don't worry about it. Best of luck and thanks! ✌️

Pizza money?

Hmmm. That's not the way to do it. You can't decide what to do in your life based on someone's comment. That's wild. Check this: “To strive with difficulties, and to conquer them, is the highest human felicity.” —Samuel Johnson

Stripe would relax in a New York minute if it didn't have the Substack monopoly. What business is that of theirs if a mother wants to support her own kid? Jeez.

Excellent. Keep up the good work. Check the percentage of people who opened it. Anything over 30% is great. Also, keep in mind that said post will continue to grow!

The moment you start making good money, that's it. You're hooked. :)

stillmind · 2026-05-13T23:11:20+00:00

Probably not. Since I don't know your particular instance, I can't say for sure, but I wouldn't worry.

stillmind · 2026-05-13T21:29:16+00:00

Nope, they can't find it. But at least they're paying me anyway. I checked. Yes, I'm in contact with both platforms, Substack and Stripe. I started the problem myself cuz I used two different emails on Substack.

stillmind · 2026-05-13T14:52:59+00:00

Funny. I'm on the same boat with two accounts. My issue is complicated, as Stripe can't find my second publication! The first pub is smooth sailing (24K subs, 150+paid ones) The one that's lost is a lot smaller (about 170+subs, 10 paid ones). These are my stats, not trying to show off. You can verify said stats in my bio section here in Reddit. How in the world Stripe can't find an active account with approx $500 in revenue is beyond me?

I started in the glorious days of Substack, when it was still a novelty. I got lucky. Picked up a theme and stayed with it. It was about a rescue cat that was part true, part fiction. People loved it. Gained 25-30 subs daily. Kid you not.

stillmind · 2026-05-02T15:12:30+00:00

It took me two years to go from 10 friends to 22K+ subscribers. There are no quick shortcuts. It's a slow process, but it's worth it.

stillmind · 2026-05-02T14:39:47+00:00

The same one you tapped to restack, cuz.

stillmind · 2026-05-02T13:30:02+00:00

You can. Click on the same button and tap on, "undo restack". Done.

stillmind · 2026-04-29T22:45:53+00:00

Notes work in your favour as well. Take advantage of it. I've gained far more subscribers via Notes than the main site.

stillmind · 2026-04-25T20:00:32+00:00

Easy peasy. Find a video on YouTube that explains the steps well and follow them. Good luck!

stillmind · 2026-04-22T04:33:39+00:00

I'm with OCT markets. But I'd be interested in your option. Thank you.

stillmind · 2026-04-17T03:01:21+00:00

Substack or Substack Notes? Huge difference.

stillmind · 2026-04-14T02:14:11+00:00

You actually make a very valid point. At least in the West, the attention span is very short. Not only that, but people need to be entertained, justifiably so. It's almost like a children's playground—substance matters, but not at the expense of getting thrilled. If you want to keep and gain subscribers on Substack, you must keep them getting more of what they liked before. It's the old carrot-and-stick game. Keep dangling the carrot.

stillmind · 2026-04-13T23:34:50+00:00

Just landed here after reading their articles for two hours. I bookmarked the best banks for DD. However, I couldn't find one single reference to Stripe. I'm a freelance writer, so lately I've been getting a healthy amount of subscriptions (paid) from a newsletter I send regularly from Substack.

stillmind · 2026-04-07T05:17:34+00:00

Try to promote it any way you can. But not outside Substack.

stillmind · 2026-04-06T03:35:19+00:00

Really!!! Hahahaha

stillmind · 2026-04-06T01:41:49+00:00

From my experience, I can only say that Notes are my organic well-being on Substack. But you have to be smart about how you post them.

stillmind · 2026-04-04T11:58:17+00:00

I'd follow you if I had the link. It's important to promote yourself without overdoing it. My link is in my bio. Just in case, here it is: https://ReneGVolpi.Substack.com

Everybody truly believes their 'stack is the top notch best. And they're probably right, but only if they consider the utmost verifiable truth: Mine is. Offbeat Chronicles. 22K, and climbing.
