509 sats \ 4 replies \ @Scoresby 12 Feb \ on: Stacker News For Writers BooksAndArticles
Although SN has far fewer users than sites like Medium or Reddit or Amazon, you have a much greater potential of some few of those readers actually reading what you write.
And the genius of SN is that if a user reads your post it's incredibly easy for them to zap it and so they often do.
If you don't have much of an audience anywhere else, you should definitely consider writing here.
Additionally, as the OP mentions there are a few factors working in your favor on SN:
- You earn in bitcoin
- You have relatively little competition
- You are a bit of a novelty
I've been writing reviews of old cyberpunk classics and I've made a few dollars. Maybe if I was famous I could start a paid subscription substack and get people to pay me for such reviews but I doubt it.
The real question is why do the sats I earn on SN matter so much to me? Because they do.

Indeed SN strong point is the V4V thing that is using. And works nice.

Well said. Thanks for explaining it probably better than I did.

YOU gave me the ideas and impetus, like for the newsletter. I envisioned more of a static territory page or pinned post that was editable without reposting. That would not have worked.
