What about growing your Medium & Substack subscription list with paying subscribers? I haven’t come across anyone who talks about this is a real and unfiltered way. There’s a lot of smoke and mirrors at play in this realm. What say you?
Being a senior copywriter/brand consultant who's been around the block, so to speak, totally relate to this.
The only thing I wouldn't agree with is your point about ghostwriting. Seems to me everyone's talking about ghostwriting. I find the term a bit suspect myself.
Why are you a ghostwriter just because you write a company's newsletter? You're a copywriter. Anyway, semantics... it's clearly the new 'in' word to use.

I disagree that nobody is talking about ghostwriting. I hear about it a lot. But few people are willing to try it.
