Technology Minded Friend - Hey Brian do you have a Sub Stack?
Me- No, I’m trying to watch what I eat.
TMF- Seriously, you should get a Substack account.
Me - Why is that different than my website?
TMF- Nobody ever goes to your website.
Me- Wow. While that is almost entirely true, it hurts my feelings to hear it just tossed out into the air like that.
TMF- Suck it up cupcake. Websites are dead. Substack is the new hotness.
Me- How much does it cost?
TMF- Nada. Zip. Zilch. Zero dollars. As a matter of fact; they pay YOU.
Me- I doubt that. Is this like when you were trying to sell me essential oils? I’m not interested in any kind of “side hustle”. I have a regular hustle. It’s all the hustle I have time for.
TMF- No way man! No multi level marketing involved! You just use Substack to publish your stuff and KABLAMM - reap the benefits of the new cool kid platform for blogging and self publishing.
Me- Don’t say KABLAMM - thats MY thing. What would I put on a Substack?
TMF- All the stuff you currently put on Facebook and your website that no one ever reads.
Me - Can I post pictures of my art on it?
TMF- Of course.
Me- Ok. I’ll make a Substack. Also a sandwich. I haven’t had lunch.
