[UPDATE]
We're investigating creating our own processes and tool that will connect a Paypal/Stripe recurring plan with a MailCheat(Chimp) list. Initially it will probably be an SOP, then maybe an internal tool, then maybe a tool we'll use for possible clients, then maybe a SaaS offering like CampaignZee.
I still like the simplicity of Substack, even though there were a couple of show-stoppers.
I've got round the main show-stopper of forcing us to have an annual plan. Substack support told me I could delete the annual plan in Stripe then reload in Substack. I now only have a monthly plan, which is what I wanted so I could use paid newsletters as an MVP.
Unfortunately, we can only link one Substack newsletter to our Stripe account, so that's scuppered the idea of spinning out newsletters quickly to test ideas. I'll either do that with CampaignZee, or with our own processes/tool.
I'm going to create a Google Ads newsletter.
I had the brain-wave of creating another newsletter where people can follow-along as I try to grow the Google Ads Newsletter. It remains to be seen if this was a good or bad brain-wave.
So I've changed my Substack newsletter to be a follow-along of me trying to grow my Google Ads Newsletter. It seems kind of odd, but makes sense given the only people likely to be checking out the newest public posts on Substack are ... other Substack publishers.
So this is like the progress thread for a follow-along of me trying to grow a paid email newsletter? My head hurts...
Anyway, I deleted my first two posts that were about freelancing, and here's my new (only) post:
