Help!
Hello all my crazy diamonds! I need help today. When I started my substack several readers became paid subscribers, but the payment system for that is disabled in South Africa.
This means the only income from my publication comes from the “buy me a coffee” feature.
A couple of beautiful souls regularly buy me a cup of coffee for my efforts and that fills me with gratefulness.
Is there any other way I can gain paid subscribers?
Thank you in advance for your advice!
Namaste.
I have the same issue and at first I thought it was a problem but now I believe it’s probably for the best for me because I have a full time job and the paid subscription is an animal that will have to be fed consistently month to month. I hope to monetise through groups or 1:1 work outside Substack which I can tailor according to seasons of my life.
Unless you've done it already, why don't you share your concerns and ask for advice with the people running this platform. If you get together with other South African writers you may get to add some pressure to make this work for you as well.
