32歲自由作家蘇托(Amy Suto)原本在好萊塢擔任電視編劇,之後轉型成自由工作者,靠替客戶代筆回憶錄維生。沒想到,她在2023年開始經營Substack電子報,最後意外發展成一門年營收超過26.3萬美元(約台幣836萬)的高收入副業。

商業內幕報導,蘇托表示,她經常被問「到底去哪裡找到寫作工作?」因此開始分享自由寫作者的真實工作經驗。隨著自己的案子愈來愈多,她忙到無法接下所有客戶,也逐漸找不到足夠的人可以轉介。有一次她在巴黎一間咖啡廳遠端工作時突然想到,應該要有更好的方式,把有能力的寫作者與客戶連結起來,這個念頭後來成為「Make Writing Your Job」的起點。

2024年,她與丈夫科茲(Kyle Cords)在Substack加入「Make Writing Your Job」工作機會看板,整理散落網路各處的自由寫作職缺,沒想到需求迅速爆發。

如今該平台已有超過5.8萬名訂戶,標準會員每月收費19美元(約台幣604元),創始會員每年550美元(約台幣1.75萬),也提供免費方案。2025年營收突破10萬美元(約台幣318萬),此後又翻逾1倍,目前年度總經常性收入超過26.3萬美元。

更特別的是,這門副業幾乎不是靠砸廣告做起來。蘇托透露,3年來總廣告支出不到100美元(約台幣3180元),而且只是實驗性投放。真正帶動成長的是免費內容、搜尋流量、社群平台,以及Substack本身的自然推薦。

她堅持每週發布內容,從未中斷,同時針對Google與AI搜尋引擎優化文章標題及內容,並透過Threads、LinkedIn及Substack Notes吸引新讀者。她發現,對文字創作者而言,以文字為主的社群平台,往往比影音平台更容易找到讀者。

不過,蘇托強調這仍是副業,她的主要收入依舊來自回憶錄代筆。她認為最大的成長祕訣,就是持續提供真正有價值的免費內容,「不是每個人一開始就願意付費,但只要持續幫助讀者,其中一部分最終會成為付費訂戶。」
