This is good to hear. My Medium earnings from boosting and writing are down almost exponentially. I also work full-time and am methodical about my writing, so churning out daily or even weekly stories sometimes isn’t possible. But I have over 100 solid Medium stories I’m slowly porting over to Substack and am starting to see a bit of traction. It’s so hard to be new!

I’m heartened by your success and hope I’ll be able to keep earning viable amount as a writer. One day I’d love the freedom to do it full-time.

Oh, I’ve had more success with TODAY.com and Business Insider than HuffPost (though I do adore Noah—he’s so sweet every time he turns me down). Let me know if you’d like a contact at either. 😊

That's very kind of you Dana, and I've been appreciating your posts here on Substack. I should send some submissions to those two markets. I've been really focused on getting to 10k subscribers here. I should get there before the end of this month (it only took a year). Yes, importing all your old stories from Medium is a good call. I'm still in that process too, only about another 1,400 to go! Keep at it, and thanks again for your kind offer!
