This perspective is incredibly empowering, especially for someone like me who just started recently! I completely agree—Substack is a refreshing platform for introverts like me . Keep shining!
Thanks for sharing, it’s very inspiring. I’ve been doing newsletters for about 4 years on and off. It’s been a slow start (with many false starts). What has really helped me was trying different things, until I found a topic I enjoy writing about. What makes the difference is perseverance.
Great post. I started selling digital products in 2018 and my journey started out very similar. Saw about $8 by the end of that year. And it went up from there. The markets are saturated for what I like to do but I believe competition breeds success.
And you're also spot on with just trying things out and exploring your interests and creative sides. Never know what can become a hit. Thanks for sharing!
that's so true - I think a lot of people think that they can only do one thing and stick with it even though they might not like it.. you simply gotta try and pivot if needed
Thanks for sharing your journey! Indeed getting the first $ online is hard and often cherished as without that there won‘t be a second $ and more.
Recently I got the least funny amount I appreciate as well - Amazon sent me $0.01 (=1 cent!), possibly because someone on the 🇺🇸American Kindle store only read a few pages (my Amazon income is coming from its stores in 🇦🇺 and 🇩🇪). They even transferred that one cent!

Self-professed introvert! We’re some of the most creative people I know. Time to shine!
Power to the introverts! Nice, reading about your experiment.
Funny how that works, that the thing you enjoy most turns out to be the most succesful :)
thanks, Wouter :)
I appreciate you sharing this. 😊

Hah no way! Wow 😅
In this day and age, it’s important for everyone to step into the digital world of opportunities.
This way, they can:
Work on their social presence
Build a loyal community
Create a strong offer
Welcome more sales
Very well written. Great roadmap for new writers like me.
thanks so much!
