How Newsletters Make Money for Writers with Hamish McKenzie of Substack

The internet is a noisy place for writers. If you want to build a relationship with readers and earn more from your creative work, consider starting a newsletter. Substack is an example of a popular service that you can try.

I recently interviewed co-founder and COO Hamish McKenzie. In this interview, he explains:

• Why newsletters are a great way of earning more money as w writer
• Why your first newsletter starts with an ideal reader
• How to build a relationship with readers and fans
• What it takes to grow a newsletter that people will pay for

And lots more.

I started by asking McKenzie to explain what Substack is and why he set it up in 2017.
