I've been lurking on Substack for a few months, trying to figure out if it's the space I want to start in. And I have got to say this is the most encouraging place I have seen for writers in the realm of the Internet. Your straightforward mission statement in this welcoming post is just one more example of that. Looking forward to reading more from you as I figure things out here!
Alexis this made my day. Sorry I didn't respond to this--notifications are a bit out of control these days. Thank you for taking the time to let me know this. I'm going to try to keep things this way here!
This is great! I 'stumbled' across your substack in my process of starting a new one myself. I've got healthy engagement on some other social platforms, but wanted to expand my 'voice' so to speak. So, I love hearing about your process, and I look forward to reading more about it. Thanks for sharing!
Hey man, FYI someone has created an imitation account of you on Medium - Read stories from Tom Kuegler on Medium: https://medium.com/@vitoc16559 - and replied to a comment on one of your stories asking to contact them on WhatsApp. I reported them but thought you might wanna know also.
Haha yes, insighful. Think of it like a party or something. The better conversation you have with someone, the more they will remember you. Typically you have a good conversation if you put some effort into it. Same with comments.
Good stuff Tom! I started Medium a little after Substack - not impressed. I don’t think I’ll renew my membership this year. The comparison of traffic is laughable.
It’s always great seeing where someone started to where they are at now and how they got there.
Thanks for sharing. I wish you nothing but success and growth heading into 2025!
It’s crazy to see how many people are leaving Medium now. The bottom really fell out the last 6 months or so I think. That platform is going to die really soon here.

Yeah I think the more I read from you and others that started there and how bad it was getting, the less involved my time was there.
I love the concept of getting paid per article but I was pulling maybe 1 read a week. Completely nuts compared to here.
wow thanks for sharing all the details and processes!
Thanks for stopping by Adler! :)
Fascinating read, Tom.
You’re showing a completely new and different way of writing to what I am used to.
Good for you mate!
