Retention Tips
Thank you for supporting independent writing on Substack! Your paid subscription goes directly to the writer β Substack takes a small platform fee, but the vast majority reaches the creator. Before you cancel, consider whether there are free posts from this writer you'd still enjoy without the paid tier. Many writers offer significant free content alongside their paid archives. If the newsletter wasn't meeting your expectations, it's also worth emailing the author directly β most independent writers deeply value reader feedback and may adjust their content accordingly.
