Nostr Web Client

I shared these same photographs on my Substack, and while they got a lot of attention, I earned nothing for my efforts - not a penny, not a single sat.

Since joining #nostr a couple of months ago, I’ve earned more here from sharing my art and random life musings than on any legacy media app.

It’s been a great experience so far. I’m learning a lot, building connections, and feeling supported by this community. Big thanks to everyone who’s helped along the way.

Love how #nostr is working out for you Colin! The thing with Substack though is that it’s like investing long-term, the gains come later. Assuming you got some new subscribers from all those likes, over time one or more of them might become a paid subscriber, you never know. At the very least you have their email address and can reach them directly when necessary. Whereas Nostr’s benefits are more immediate and just a different kind of community altogether. Fascinating times though, we’re considering hibernating our Instagram indefinitely.

Oh, I totally agree. Substack is great, and I love the platform for sharing ideas and connecting with an audience. But having a system like Nostr, where you can directly give and receive value, would be a game changer for artists.

Likes and reshares are nice, sure, but the ability to transact immediate value - real, tangible support - elevates the relationship between creators and their audience. Substack needs to get with it because this kind of functionality is the future.
