Former Substack creators say they’re earning more on new platforms that offer larger shares of subscription revenue Former Substack writers who exited the platform in early 2024 are making more money on Beehiiv and Ghost thanks to their fixed pricing models.

Yep. I saved hundreds or even thousands of dollars a month just from switching from Substack to self-hosted Ghost.

I pay a roughly flat $85/month now (~$75 for mailsending, $10 for hosting), vs. 10% of all my subscription income.

12 years of Ghost Freedom of the press is guaranteed only to those who own one

Congrats to @johnonolan.bsky.social and the team at @ghost.org on their 12th birthday!

12 years of Ghost Freedom of the press is guaranteed only to those who own one

Another year, and several milestones all at once.

12 years since @ghost.org launched on Kickstarter, now at $8M ARR, and powering almost $100M in revenue for independent publishers 📈

A few reflections on building an open source publishing platform, for a long time:
