Today I would like to get you to sign up to Author Stack. it’s free, though you can also pay if you want.
Author Stack is a Substack newsletter by Russell Nohelty.
It’s a newsletter for writers. It covers the mysterious business side of writing, as opposed to the familiar technical side that everybody else yaps about, telling you to tack on an ‘s’ to the the verbs in your headline (“TRIPLES your response!”).
As I wrote a few times over the past week, Russell reached out to me when he read that I’m going down the paid traffic route.
He offered to do a recorded interview, and share his experiences spending $30k to grow his own audience, which now stands at over 70,000 subscribers across his different newsletters.
I was grateful to Russell for the offer and for the info he shared with me.
I asked if there was something I could do in turn to make this worthwhile for him as well.
But Russell said he’s not worried about it. “If you put out good and do things with cool people,” he said, “things usually work out like they’re supposed to.”
Outwardly I smiled. Inwardly I cursed. I hate it when people are relaxed, generous, and non-needy around me.
Fortunately, Russell does write Author Stack, and I would like to get you to sign up for it.
Not because Russell asked me to (he didn’t) or because he was nice to me (he was).
Sure, maybe everything I’ve told you so far can be a bit of proof, or a bit of context to help ease you through the link at the bottom.
But really, I would like to get you to sign up to Author Stack because it might be interesting or valuable to you.
Author Stack can be interesting to you if you’re into things like Substack gossip… newsletter growth… or newsletter monetization strategies.
Author Stack can be valuable to you if you write or you want to write — newsletters, books, comics — but more than that, if you want to make money writing, and you’re looking for practical guidance on how to do that in the current moment.
Like I said, Author Stack is a Substack newsletter.
Like many Substack newsletters, there’s a free version and a paid version.
You can get the paid version if you like… or you can choose to not get it. The advice and info that Russell provides in the free version is already copious, and interesting and valuable without any add-ons.
Final point:
I’m not an affiliate for Author Stack. I am personally signed up to get it.
If you would also like to sign up for it, try it out, read Russel’s articles and see if they can benefit you, or open up your mind about what’s possible in the business of writing today:
