I'm Coming Back!
And there will be some changes around here - not meant in the aggressive way that might have come across 😉
Hi Everyone! Have you missed me?! No…. Ok, yup.. me neither… As everyone always says here on Substack, you may not have even noticed I was gone 😳🤣 Don’t worry, I won’t take it personally.
Anyway, I’m coming back… Yay, I hear you all shout with glee! 😉
I am already back being active and sociable on Substack, but I’ve not yet returned to publishing just yet. My plan is to start doing that again at the start of October 🍂
A New Little Side Hustle
Some of you will be aware that I have also been busy squirrelling away creating my new little business venture HERE. Putting my various random skills to good use and offering a variety of SERVICES to individuals, such as Proofreading and Graphic Design. I will be using the rest of September to get that fully up and running, so that I can go back to focusing mainly on my writing.💛
What to Expect When I Return
🍂 I will be starting my gentle return to publishing here in October, at which point EVERYTHING WILL REMAIN FREE for ALL to access… until January 2025!
🍂 I am doing this so that ALL of my lovely subscribers (and anyone new) can get a good feel for what’s on offer here. Then, come January, you can make a well-informed decision about whether or not you would like to become a paid member. More about my plans for Paid Membership Perks later on.
🍂 Current Paid Members – Don’t worry, your payments are paused and will be until January 2025. When payments start up again, you will remain on the discounted rate, which was active when you initially subscribed. 👍
Annual members, the weeks that have been paused will be added onto the end of your subscription, if that makes sense 😬 Sorry if I’ve made it sound more complicated than it needs to be 🤦🏽♀️😆
🍂 Free posts will now remain free – In other words, if it is published as a free post it will stay that way and no longer disappear behind a paywall after 4 weeks, as they did previously.
🍂 No more schedule – I was finding it too stressful having a rigid schedule for releasing certain posts at set times. One of the things I’ve LOVED about having this break, has been the freedom to write what I feel like, when I feel like it. Therefore, I have decided to bin the schedule and just deliver whatever I’ve written pretty much as I write it 👍
🍂 Wagamama style – This may mean that you will receive a couple of posts one week and none the next, and so on. Similar to dining at Wagamama – your “food” will come out in the order that it is “cooked” so to speak.
New Plans - Paid Perks!
When I return, I will be (gradually) adding some new regular features to the paid membership tier. Here is what you can expect to be in full swing by January 2025, when I will be re-introducing the paid subscriber tier of my publication. There will be a FAB January SALE, as a gentle warm up to returning to paid content.
Paid Membership Will Include:
✨ All of the above, including access to my Notes and the Community Chat
✨ Access to the full Archive of ALL previous articles
✨ Exclusive (far more personal) Essays in the Members-Only Hub
✨ The BRAND NEW “RantPage” - No prizes for guessing what goes on there! 😉
✨ My NEW Podcast! I’m super excited about this one! Coming in early 2025!
That’s All Folks!
Ok, that’s it for now… thanks so much for reading 🙏
I’m excited to get back into regular publishing and building, what is already, a FAB little community here. As always, feel free to contact me anytime to ask any questions, make suggestions, or to just tell me how much you love me! 😉
