jim aldridge on Substack

Substack has built a fantastic platform for independent writers to not only reach their audiences directly, but to support themselves financially while doing so without having to depend on increasingly stultifying media institutions.

I was able to thrive on Substack because it was the culmination of almost 15 years of learning how to reach directly to readers. I’d gained some skills along the way. Even more, I came to Substack totally committed to this way of operating.
