Cats on Substack

Did you know I write about my five cats on Substack? I did a blog here about Life with Four Cats back in July 2023. We have since adopted a fifth cat. So many cats, and so many stories to write about.

Why I Choose to Write About Cats on Substack

Are you like me and love to write? When we write, it helps to get thoughts out of our heads, release our emotions, and use our creativity. Substack is all about writing. Here are three reasons I chose Substack.

Newsletter

Mailerlite was going to start charging me each month for using their services after years of being on their free plan. I understand why they were doing this, and Mailerlite is a great service. However, it wasn’t worth it for me to pay for it. Why? For the following two reasons:

A small percentage of folks would subscribe to get a gift package then unsubscribe. Or rarely open the newsletter.I only send out one newsletter a month and an occasional special update.

Substack was the right newsletter option for me. It costs nothing, which will save me $10.00 or more a month. There are lots of people on the platform, so I can get subscribers who have never visited this website. People can read my past Ponderings from Pamela’s newsletter on Substack to determine if it’s worth subscribing.

Substack doesn’t have the option to give subscribers something free in exchange for their email. Now the public doesn’t have to give me their email address and they can just download my freebies from my gift package page. If they choose to, they can subscribe to my newsletter, column, or blog. Thus, my subscribers truly want to hear from me.

Devoting More Time to Writing

One of my goals is to spend more time on my writing. My business is all about teaching people and accelerating their personal and spiritual growth. The written word can reach more people than a single session. It is easier for people to read at their convenience instead of waiting for a specific time. This is why my email services for dream interpretation and psychic readings are more popular than my one-on-one sessions. And I really enjoy and love doing the email services.

Substack also has the option to write articles or columns. Besides the newsletter, my writing focus will be on the weekly column Attitude of Cattitude and Purr Forecast about our five cats on Substack.

Of course, I’ll continue to write for this blog and my once a month article/newsletter on LinkedIn. Maybe I’ll start book number nine, too.

Make Money

What many authors and writers like about Substack is they can earn money for their writing. They can choose how much to charge for their writing and Substack only takes 10%. And there are no ads on the platform.

This beats what others pay. For example:

Some places only pay $5.00 to $10.00 for a 500 word article.Big publishers pay their authors 5 to 15% unless they’re famous.Indie authors can receive 35% to 70%, and 85% at Smashwords.Kindle Unlimited pays less than half a cent for each page read.

Writers and authors definitely work hard for their money!

Final Thoughts on Cats on Substack

Are you wondering what I charge for Attitude of Cattitude? You can just subscribe for free. Or keep the column going and also receive weekly Purr Forecast. In my forecast, I use cat oracle, tarot, or Lenormand cards and my psychic abilities. In addition, I inform subscribers of three weekly holidays, usually from a cat’s perspective. The cost is $5.00 a month ($1.25 a week) or $50.00 for a year. You get lots of purrs for your money!

My cats are sending purrs to anyone who contributes to keep them fed and helps with their other cat supplies. They couldn’t care less about the cost of the vet bill.
