    1/ Retail investors greatest edge is to invest in small illiquid companies. If it’s the investors job to find inefficiencies in the market, doesn’t it make sense to look where less people are looking?

    " charges 10% of paid newsletters. Isn't that excessive?" Depends how you look at it. Right now, they are undercharging me. Last month Substack brought in 23% of my new subscribers from various recommendation features through the network. For me: it's not excessive.

    9/ MYTH: If I launch on Substack I’m locked into the platform forever. FACT: You own your email list & payment relationships; you retain full copyright of your content. The door's open to leave, which motivates us to make the platform awesome so writers will choose to stay

    8/ MYTH: I need thousands of Twitter followers or a big existing email list to import, to succeed on Substack. FACT: A cult following definitely helps, but many writers on Substack who now sit atop our leaderboards started from scratch with no list or social-media follower base

    7/ MYTH: I need to do multiple posts per week for it to work. FACT: While writers are typically more successful if they post regularly, you can post at whatever cadence you wish. Some writers publish once a month, or even “whenever I have something to say”

    6/ MYTH: Substack costs money to get started with. FACT: Substack is always free if your newsletter is free. If and when you turn on paid, our platform fee is 10%, and the payment processor, Stripe, takes a fee of 2.9% + 30 a transaction. We only get paid when you do

    3/ MYTH: I have to think long and hard about the name before I start, because I can never change it. FACT: It’s trivially easy to change the name and one-line description of your publication, at the top of your Settings page

    2/ MYTH: I need fancy graphics, or to hire somebody to design a logo. FACT: You can just use a royalty-free image from Unsplash as your logo to start, make a logo for free on Canva, or begin with no logo at all
