Subscriptions. But please read before you panic!
January 26, 2023
Thank you for reading “I have serious news….” The substack’s readership is growing quickly, and I sincerely appreciate the many kind emails.
I’m thinking of turning on paid subscriptions. Why? Because a reader said he would pay $80 a year for something he already gets for free. If I did this,
People with free subscriptions would still get all posts.
I would donate what I earn from this to a charity. Substack would get 10% of your subscription, and the remaining 90% would be donated.
Is this a good idea? Please put your thoughts in the Comments.
Which charity matters. What do you think? Here are some possibilities:
A to-be-determined cancer charity (and which one?).
Please put your thoughts in the Comments. And thank you again for reading.
Whichever charity you prefer is fine with me, Bill.
This is a lovely idea! Would it be possible to try to get this money directly into the hands of people who need it (i.e., by giving to GoFundMes for people with cancer struggling to pay medical bills, or finding mutual aid organizations that specialize in providing support to people with high medical costs)?
