Beloved,
Thank you so much for being my supportive, loyal fans. It's been a while!
I have finally made the transition from Medium to Susbstack. And like anything out of my comfort zone, I’m frightened!! Yet, I’m still doing it.
Please join me on Substack if you haven't yet!
What Happened to Medium?
Medium officially broke down, causing the most influential writers to leave the platform.
“Slavery: A condition of having to work very hard without proper remuneration or appreciation.”
When Medium announced in July 2023 that it would change its payment system for writers, I failed to notice that I will soon become a slave of Medium and so I kept writing. As a result, August and September 2023 have been the worst months of my life as a writer. I made $31 in September. As a comparison, I made about $720 in April 2023 (which was enough living in countries like Mexico or Brazil).
And here’s my mistake: I was so confident I could sustain a monthly income of $800 that I stepped away from teaching tantra so as not to partake in cultural misappropriation.
It was already a hard choice because I knew I would lose a big part of my income by choosing moral values over money, but now I'm kinda fucked!!
This change in Medium has been a hit on my face. So I'm moving to Substack
Let’s me do the math:
I have 785 members on my Substack newsletter > I have an open ratio of 45% > So there are about 353 of you who are interested in hearing from me > If 90 people subscribe to my paid Substack, I can stop putting my best work on Medium and send you directly my juicy tips here.
Yeah, that's some maths!
90 people that is!
All the efforts I was putting on Medium, I could put it here on Substack.
But it only depends on you, if you're willing to support my work as a writer for the price of a Netflix, Spotify or OnlyFrans monthly membership.
For now, I have only 2 paid subscribers.
It's very far from the 90 people I need to commit full time on Substack but I have hope. So here am I, asking if you'd be willing to subscribe to my paid Substack newsletter.
For 9,90$ a month or a yearly subscription of 95$, you will receive every Wednesday:

As Thanksgiving approaches, it's a season of gratitude and giving. Consider the gift of paid subscriptions to support creators like me and access premium content.
It's a simple yet meaningful way to express thanks and contribute to the creative community.
To be honest, I hate that. I hate to ask to become a paid member. I have the feeling I'm begging and it's a bit hit on my pride. My ego doesn't want to expose my vulnerable self and I want to run and hide in cave and never show my face again. I thought many times what's wrong with me. I still don't know what's wrong with me.
But, well, am I not preaching authenticity and vulnerability? Why should it be only at the moment I'm doing great and not in the hardest time?
Plus, I'm delivering some value in my articles on Substack. Some GREAT value!
So, I have to show you my vulnerable self. The one super broken and in need of you subscribing to my paid Substack.
So please join me on Substack if you haven't yet!
With all my love,
xoxo Hakima
