Medium Newsletters
A new way to connect with readers
A new way to build relationships and share stories with your Medium audience. With a single click, readers can subscribe to Medium Newsletters from posts published on Medium.
@musharofchy haha i don't think saying what we see is pessimistic ! from using it, that's what I experienced. It's really good but yeah but for a newsletter, surely a core feature is seeing who is subscribed - i don't even know who i'm writing to
Medium's relaunch of Letters — cleared aimed at the success of Substack. So did Medium try to acquire Substack and were rebuffed, or did they realize they could just reboot the feature internally?
Nope. Just nope. If you don't own the list of subscribers, you haven't really built an audience. This is just you doing free marketing for Medium, and locking yourself and your fans into their ecosystem. Big, unequivocal nope.
@chrismessina True, but personally I'd rather own my list and monetize it on my own terms. With this model, I'm assuming your subscribers need to be paying Medium members in order for you to make money. And a much smaller percentage of that revenue will make its way back to you than if people signed up for you directly on Substack.
