S&UP: how we will go from poverty to 250 million dollars in revenue by 2030

rags to riches

Hint: it won’t come from Substack.

Substack is a great platform, and we are grateful for allowing us to use it as a creative outlet at no cost (if only it were).

Disclaimer: the pronoun “we” is a metaphor, since our organization is just me and my dog, a half-truth, which is almost the same as a lie. What is true is it’s never about me alone, not here, not ever. A ship needs a captain, but it also needs a crew.

Current Founder, me.

Current CEO, Milo

Together we are unleashing yet another layer of S&UP, its real and intended meaning. We’re going all out ruthless and cunning, tired of the algorithm games and the ego stroking, we’re going for solution. We have a farm to restore and things to do and although the storytelling is fun, it ain’t gonna’ gitter’ done.

First: we’re culling the herd; all inactive accounts will be culled.

Second: the paywall is going up, no reprieve, no one gets in for free. We will exchange access for labor since labor is a currency. Contributors are invited since that requires labor.

Third: this is not a bluff. The title means what it says, if you doubt it, speak with the CEO.

Now, if you want any chance at all of gaining access, you’ll have to answer one question; we can hire and we can fire; we hire slow and fire fast and if you are unable or unwilling to answer that question then you cannot help us achieve our goals. Fun is fun, business is business.

Substack is a for profit business, and they deserve to get paid; they will never give endorsement to non-paying customers, we’re freeloaders and serfs feeding the beast that feeds on money, so we’re going to feed it money. That’s how you get noticed here, and that’s the only way.

As for the title, this platform is a very small part, and its purpose is to network while supporting those who support us, and we will grow. Some will find financial security by taking an oar and helping us row.

The Question: how much money do you want?

Leave it in the comments.

Or not.
