It's been almost exactly 6 months since I started by Substack. Here is what I've learnt so far. (1/x)
Substack is a new platform. Many niches are still up-for-grab.

I was hoping that "Asia-Pacific value stocks" would be enough of a niche so that I could survive as a Substack writer. It worked. Substack is now my full-time profession.
Branding: A friend recommended "The 22 immutable laws of marketing". Brilliant.

Create a visual design language that's both distinctive and provokes the right associations.

Agree on this... His views seem superficial
The take rate is not high... But to have confidence in the take rate you'd have to believe in the AUM number.

Are we sure cloud is not loss-making due to "national service", similar to Tencent's support of China's police IT infrastructure?
Would rather look at loss-making investments on a case by case basis. The unit economics may or may not work.

Asian tobacco:

5.3 trillion cigarettes are sold each year to 1 billion smokers. Would be unwise to exclude the industry from your universe just because of ESG / unpopularity.
While volumes have dropped globally, retail value has stayed flat. It would have increased was it not for the stronger dollar since 2014.
Volumes are weak in Japan and flattish in Asia EM

• Compel the person to make an inconsequential statement
• Dig deeper and ask the person to make other related statements that are increasingly at odds with the person's beliefs
• Constant repetition until the person's self-image has changed
