Congratulations, it's a goldmine!
and have you ever wondered what I sound like? No?
Thursday posts are for paid subscribers. I would be happy and grateful if you would consider upgrading your subscription.
If you would like a paid sub but can’t afford one, email me and I’ll sort you out.
Couple of different things this week. I decided to try recording audio. Apparently lots of people prefer to listen to Substacks rather than read them! (Are you one of them? Let me know.)
I recorded it. I accidentally deleted it. I recorded it again, but it sounded like I was gasping for breath, so I did it a third time and hopefully that one was the charm. (Or charm-ish.)
Please let me know what you think. (But not if it’s “you sound like a knob.” Thanks in advance.)
I originally wrote this post for a parenting site (that no longer exists) and I think about it often. Not just in relation to making money from your kids (full disclosure: I self-published two books of my sons’ quotes - this one and this one - which sounds like the most self-indulgent thing in the world (and probably is), but I have been assured that they’re properly funny), but about the sheer volume of stuff celebrities get for free.
