I was about to give up on writing on Medium before I found this...I’ve still got a long way to go...but I went from earning nothing to my first $50 this month...amazing best wishes
This is exactly what I was searching for!! Thank you so much for your help! The free content alone was amazing. It was an easy choice to decide to upgrade to subscriber status
This is probably the single best resource I’ve found earning to start a blog after 8 months of research and extensive googling! Literally already saving me 10-20 hours per week! You are a life saver!
As soon as I can become a paid subscriber, I will. Right now, unfortunately, I can’t afford to so I chose your free newsletter temporarily. So far, I’m loving your content!
Also, to double check if you are already a paying member-can you please let me know which emails your account may be under? (if you don't want to post them here in the comments, send me an email casey@blackedgeconsulting.com). Thanks.
Second, to your point, this is an issue I have been trying to address. Substack has been a great email newsletter delivery system, but has not worked out as an online community, in terms of forum/discussion features.
That is why I recently created a forum on my website:
This is the best place to ask questions that I always check. I rarely check my FB, Twitter, or LinkedIn messages (so I'm sorry there!). Mainly because I literally am receiving hundreds per day and it is far to time consuming/hard to prioritize subscribers and sift through spam.
I do have an email that I openly give out to paid subscribers (but really anyone can reach me on this) but most questions that someone has are also of value to others which is why I've recently created the Blogging Guide Forum:
As noted above, when you become a paid subscriber, you'll get access to an email which you can always use to reach out to me. You will also have access to private sections on the forum.
If you want to buy both the course and access to Blogging Guide, the two are bundled at a discount here (just select the option containing both):
I genuinely appreciate your feedback (if anything, this confirms my implementation of a dedicated forum for Blogging Guide members). Please let me know if you have any questions or need assistance.
Hey Thaddeus, I just added you email to the list of paid subscribers. You should be able to access the premium posts/downloads now. Let me know if there are any issues!

I have learned so much from Blogging Guide—I pray you keep helping us
Me too!!
Great stuff! Thank you!
Great content here! Very useful for bloggers of any kind really! I write mostly on Substack, but may now give Medium another try.
The Media Contact list literally saved me hundreds of dollars and financially justifies a yearly subscription by itself!
Thank you so much for the tips!
I am loving my Blogging Guide subscription and the new website! So much content!

Restacking for reach, these information are extremely valuable for writers everywhere!
Hey Aaron! An article I wrote contains a section on Substack SEO:

I plan to do a more detailed post soon though, so I'll be sure to send you a link to that once it's up!
