It's a lot of work modifying the way The Reload functions in addition to doing the reporting and running the backend. Sometimes it's incredibly stressful as well. But it's also extremely rewarding being able to tweak everything myself and respond to members' feature requests.

Of course, The Reload wouldn't be anywhere near the quality it is without the work put in by others. @P_Crookston has noticeably improved much of the writing with his editing and insights. The guys at Astroluxe Innovations have also saved me on the tech side multiple times.
Aspects of running The Reload are definitely a team effort but the combination of WordPress, Elementor, WooComerce, and some other key software really allow me to change basically anything I want about how the site looks and feels in very little time and for very little money.
It's not for everyone. Most writers probably don't have the same level of experience with WordPress or even the desire to tinker with every detail like I do. Substack makes a lot of sense for a lot of people. But I'm glad I went this route and have this level of control.
