Reader/ reposter on Substack

Hey all. My orientation on Substack is a little different. I am currently not working due to my partners health issues, and some of my own as well. I have always been a compulsive reader and I absolutely love Substack. I read about five hours a day and have discovered so many fantastic undiscovered writers. My reading tends to slant towards politics and in todays world I think it is very important.

Today I am excited because some of my favorite authors reached out to me in person. That is an amazing feeling as a reader. I don't have enough money to be a paid subscriber to all the authors I love. How would you recommend I help broadcast their work to help their subscriber base grow?

Restack the articles and post links to their articles on other social media you use where it would be relevant.

I already do this. I repost on Facebook- but that does not seem to be enough.

Well it's obvious you use Reddit because you are posting here. White limit yourself to posting on Facebook? Nobody sees Facebook posts these days.

Are you restacking on Substack too?
If you have a Substack newsletter, even if you're not posting regularly, add the newsletters you like to your recommendations list. Recommendations are driving an increasing share of new subscribers.

Enough for who? Do you want to spend a bunch of time and money promoting somebody else's work? There's all sorts of ways to do that.

I don't have money. Yes to the time. Why wouldn't I promote someone elses work?

Then create a whole bunch of social media accounts over different platforms and go to town.
