That disclaimer is wild! This was fun to read, and all so true.

YES! One of the most honest posts I’ve seen about the digital products being sold to new substackers/authors.

The pitches are so emotional (and plentiful) and they sell the “dream.”

I admit I have fallen victim to several of them and you’re right, you DO get some helpful information but nothing meaningful in terms of generating substantial income. Then, you question yourself asking: did I do something wrong? I’m not good enough.

The truth is: there is no shortcut or “overnight” success. It takes time, consistency and effort.

Thank you for sharing this.
