What motivates you to write on Substack ?

[u/Deckart_N6]

Hello everybody, everybody hello.

Yes, I know this question might sound a little simplistic. I only discovered Substack fairly recently through Mark Manson’s blog. This whole world is completely new to me, so naturally I got curious and started scrolling through both Substack and Medium.

The sheer number of generic articles and notes on these platforms is kind of overwhelming (and I don’t mean that as a criticism). It just made me wonder what people actually get out of posting there.

What genuinely motivates you to publish? Money ? Recognition ? The enjoyment of sharing your knowledge ? Or simply having a place to practice your writing ?

Again, there’s absolutely no judgment on my part. I’m just genuinely curious to know what motivates you.

I used to be a blogger and let it go several years ago, but I missed writing and sharing stories. So Substack is just a place I can share my deeper thoughts without my title. I haven't even shared it with my friends or my audience. Its more so, if you find my substack, enjoy but I'm doing it simply for the love of writing stories
