Are creators just chasing the next shiny thing, or is Substack genuinely offering something new and powerful?\nWe dive into the benefits, red flags, and the not-so-obvious consequences of going all in on the platform. We cover how Substack is evolving from a newsletter tool into a full-blown creator ecosystem, and whether that’s a blessing or curse—or a bit of both? If you've been thinking about launching (or leaving) a Substack, this episode is your guide to making an informed decision—minus the hype.\n\n→ Take your newsletter to the next level with GIR Pro >>\nKEY TAKEAWAYS\nWhy big-name creators like Justin Welsh, Dan Koe, and Jay Clouse are experimenting with paid Substack newsletters\nSubstack’s Creator Fund and how it might be influencing the migration\nWhat makes Substack’s all-in-one platform appealing—and the tradeoffs you make using it\nOur concerns about data control, platform dependency, and reach\nHow recommendations and native distribution can supercharge growth (but also create subscriber quality issues)\nWhether Substack’s 10% revenue cut is worth it for smaller vs. larger creators\nSubstack’s limitations when it comes to API access, segmentation, automation, and list hygiene\nHow we personally use Substack (or don’t), and what we’d do differently if we started newsletters there today\nLINKS MENTIONED\nChenell on Substack\nDylan on Substack\nSubstack's Creator Fund announcement\nCheck out the 30 Days of Growth FREE >>\n30 Days of Growth Course Pre-launch\nGrowth In Reverse PRO Community\nWant your newsletter roasted?
