This is not asking for money or passing around a hat — it is just for those who have asked where the tip jar is. I really should put it somewhere in the email, but I have not done that yet. Either way, not necessary, just a public service announcement.
Merry Christmas!
Sasha, I gave you a tip recently. You are doing it all wrong. You should not need to give instructions on how to find the link to give. That is a design failure. Full stop.
You could put a link at the end of each post, right before the exit song and “to thine own self be true”.
Many other Substack authors use the “Buy me a coffee on kofi” link, which seems to work fine for them and does not detract from the quality of their work in any way.
I’ve been following you for about 4 years. Your audience wants you to succeed. There is nothing wrong with you getting paid for your exceptional work. Your podcasts are in a league of their own. It’s like other podcasts slap together plywood while you work with delicate hardwood inlays. The care and craftsmanship you put in is obvious to all.
Poverty is not a virtue. This is your day job, your business, your income, right?
It is really important to make it as easy as possible.
As. Easy. As. Possible.
Merry Christmas.
You are the best
Merry Christmas Sasha! I'm glad your daughter is there celebrating with you. ❤️🩹
