🤔 Why Substack? 🤔
As someone always trying out the next best thing and striving to be platform agnostic, I've used most content sites since their inception. I wanted to create this "Why Substack?" page to be transparent in my thought process and explain why I'm putting so much effort into this platform.
Ownership and Control
One reason I love Substack is that it gives writers full ownership and control of their work. With Substack, I can build a direct relationship with my audience and set my own terms, without being restricted by third-party intermediaries. This control is essential for the growth and success of The Chaddington Post.
Supporting Writers
Substack's focus on supporting writers aligns with my values. They are committed to helping writers succeed and allowing them to make a living doing what they love. By investing in Substack, I'm also supporting a platform that enables countless other creators to thrive.
Strong Community
Substack has built a vibrant community of readers and writers who share common interests and engage in thought-provoking discussions. This sense of community adds value to The Chaddington Post and encourages me to produce high-quality content for my audience.
A New Economic Engine for Culture
Substack's mission to build a new economic engine for culture resonates with me. They are striving to create a better media economy that empowers writers, protects free speech, and fosters the creation of amazing works. By choosing Substack, I'm playing a part in driving this cultural revolution.
So there you have it! I hope this help explain a bit more why I've decided to put so much effort into Substack for The Chaddington Post. Full disclosure: I did invest a little in the most recent community WeFunder, so I might have a potential bias. However, I hope this transparent insight into my thought process helps you understand my choice and encourages you to join us on this exciting journey.
