I can certainly relate to this Dave. I've been inches away from quitting this art thing for 5 years now! Insidr has been a great resource for me and I believe it will be for others too. Best of luck in 2025.

Thanks for sharing your journey. Could offer other people's stuff for affiliate commission? Or ask readers to sponsor?

Reader referrals is definitely on the list. I hadn’t thought about affiliates, but I may look into it.

I had no idea how close you were to quitting. So glad you’re sticking through because your voice and ideas are so valuable!

As someone who is also making an audience pivot I think helping newsletter writers is the perfect place considering the increasing need to directly connect with our audiences.

Can’t wait to see how Insidr and Hungry grow next year!

Through adversity comes clarity I suppose. I'm looking forward to it too.
