Appreciate that. My experience has been pretty simple honestly. I stayed free while I was learning, writing daily, and seeing real replies from readers. I switched to paid only after people started asking for deeper breakdowns and actionable stuff. That’s when it clicked that there was real value worth charging for. I didn’t rush it… I waited until the signal was obvious.
By practical. I like it
Hi Azhar, the article is informative. What is your experience? When did you convert your Substack to paid? I mean, at what pointdid you decide?

Going to read this once I make my first cup of tea !☕
I’ll wait for your feedback.
Very good article!!! I agree. I been doing more posts and trying to figure out the days... So far I am doing at least 2 posts a week. And Daily Notes.

Here's a very important highlight snippet :
If I were starting today, I’d focus on:
One strong article per week
Daily short posts on one platform
One personal story every two weeks
Slow growth is normal. What matters is staying in motion.
-------------------------------------------------
Yes. Start today!
This made my day. Thank you for reading!
You’re already on the right path... 2 posts a week plus Daily Notes is a solid strategy.
And yes... slow growth is normal. What matters is that you keep moving, keep experimenting, keep showing up.
Proud of you for starting today. Let’s keep going.
