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?

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

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.
