I Got A Paid Subscriber

Then realised it was not what I thought.

I'm a twit.

Today I realised with a bump I still haven't got the hang of this Substack malarkey.

I managed to sign in here on my phone, and was delighted when I saw I had a paid subscriber.

I felt a rush of smug satisfaction as I saw that magic “Paid Subscribers - 1” on my screen. Me, with only 32 subscribers here, two of which are my own email addresses, had a paid subscriber.

That's gotta be good, right? I mean some people have hundreds of subscribers and no paid ones. This is it. My future. I'm a spectacular writer. I was sure of it.

Then I realised, that paid subscriber is me, on another profile, and even I don't pay myself as substack has automatically comped me a subscription as a contributing author.

I don't even know how I became a contributing author as I thought I'd separated the profiles. Doh!

So I'm back to not being a Substack superstar just yet. It was fun while it lasted!

Today's Sub Stats:

Let's just gloss over the paid one being myself. Oh, and the in-app extra subscriber is also me, for good measure.

Warm ‘N’ Fuzzies,
