    Great read! I'd be interested in hearing why take this approach over Substack? What motivated Terry to do all the work. Having not really looked at Substack I'd assume it would work but don't know potential down sides. Thanks!

      Thank you @akor the potential downside is the 10% fee they take for any revenue you make. Say you grow to $2k MRR, that’s $200/month you’re giving up. Substack did great if you just want to write and not need to worry about the tech.

        Gotcha thanks for responding. I was just wondering if that 5.1% was the reason. I agree with enough members that does end up being a meaningful amount of money.
