Substack Paywall Type Analyses & Channel Business Planning Guide
Hot off the presses two hours ago after a 10-hour research & writing session overnight
Special acknowledgement: Kudos and MANY thanks to Jeremy Camilloni who has no clue that he randomly spurred me last night to research and write this 5,700-word analyses & guide. On his Substack channel, Jeremy writes about building the fastest, smartest, and easiest way to explore AI. He’s not just listing AI tools, he is redefining how the world discovers them. Go give whatisthat.ai a look and then become a PAID SUBSCRIBER to it posthaste!
So, the two parts live over on my brand new, personal Substack channel—their content has nothing to do with The Second Bill of Rights or any of my other three channels, so that’s where everything else I write about will live going forward. I’m cross-posting them here because this is my legacy Substack channel and so many of you are tech stars, writers, and friends who are more than just rabid constitutional restoration advocates. Migrating over to my brand new, personal Substack channel will take until 09/30/2025 most likely, so cross-posting to here will continue for a few more weeks before it tapers off to nothing or very little.
What’s in the two parts that will make me want to read 5,700 words? That’s a LOT and I’m frickin’ busy!
Easy now, tiger! The two parts contain the following:
Substack Paid:Free Ratio Analyses (Current Data and Analyses of Various Paywall Options to Help You Decide How Best to Maximize Your Channel from ZERO to ~20,000 Paid Subscribers)
Substack “Best in Class” Information, Scenarios & Dynamic Scenario Projection Model Generation Data (How you can take your plans developed in Part 1 and generate a Dynamic Scenario Projection Model to play around with & identify their sensitivities. Set your 2026 benchmarks!)
We see bits and pieces of information like this here and there, now and then. Ha! I consolidated a lot of randomness, synthesized it, expanded on it, and viola! I haven’t run across anything like this on here. If you have, please point me in its direction promptly please. I want to make sure that my content is “Best in Class,” as usual.
Paywall Proposals
As a few of you know, I’m quite the advocate of living by your own advice, so both parts are predominantly behind the paywall over there. I’m a rational businessman and the content in the two parts is valuable to both of us, so here is what I propose vis-a-vis the paywall:
Option #1: If you’ve already migrated over to my brand new, personal Substack channel as of August 22, 2025, I’m going to automatically comp you a paid subscription for 6 months at least for being proactive and hustling since Tuesday morning. Thanks for that effort and thoughtfulness! If you’re appreciative and find the two parts helpful, I’d appreciate it if you recommended my channel over there to your readers. When I see that come through, I will return the favor on that channel and this one—I’m pretty sure that that is possible, and that I can figure it out.
Option #2: If you’re already a subscriber here on The Second Bill of Rights Substack channel as of August 22, 2025 and truly enjoy my content on here (no being disingenuous, please—ha!), recommend my channel over there to your readers and when I see that come through, I will gift you a paid subscription for a few months over there.
Option #3: If you’re already a subscriber here on The Second Bill of Rights Substack channel as of August 22, 2025 and don’t want to recommend my channel over there to your readers for whatever reason (I don’t need to know the “why. not”), comment here or private message me with your direct email and I will send you over a 50% discount on an annual paid subscription over there. (I think that’s how that works.)
Option #4: All Paid Subscribers, Early Founding Members, and Founding Members (once they begin on 01/01/2026) here on The Second Bill of Rights Substack channel will automatically get comp’d an equivalent subscription over there, BOGO-style!
Take your pick, now or through 07/03/2026 (the day before The Second Bill of Rights: A Blueprint for Constitutional Restoration is actually published). After that, the options above expire.
That’s the scoop on this new information and opportunity.
I’m going to go draft the Month 3 Substack Statistics Report now. Here are the links to the reports for Month 1 and Month 2 for handy comparison, contrast, and reference.
