Notd’s network has dozens of unique features, all designed specifically to benefit writers and news publishers. Whether you cover local news or want to discuss the physics of the multiverse, there’s a place for you to write and a great way for readers to find you.

How many $5/month newsletter subscriptions do you have? Or $40/year magazine subscriptions? Not that many, right? Because it all adds up. That’s why, on Substack, only writers who already have a large fan base are making significant money.

Notd was built to help you publish and earn revenue from blogs and newsletters. Monetizing is easy, whether you have an existing fan base or are just starting out.

Notd provides bloggers an easy way to publish and, if they want, generate income from their creativity. Set a subscription price and keep 90% of the revenue – without any credit card fees. We incorporated fantastic features you won’t find elsewhere and a searchable network to help promote your content. Explore why blogging on Notd is different!

Social networks have not proven to be a profitable platform for news publishers, and in many instances have reduced their revenue. Also, news that is distributed in two-sentence chunks is often not accurately communicated nor comprehended by readers. A better way to supplement the reach of a publisher website and revenue is on public publishing networks, like notd.io, which demonstrates the value of a network over a platform.

For people who are just learning about Notd, we've described our features that are not available on other public publishing networks. We added them over time, while virtually nobody had heard of Notd, because we believe they improve the experience of writers and readers.

The minimum price for a subscription to a Notd stream is one cent per month. This may not seem like a lot, but some people may still object, mainly because they want to follow thousands of publishers and that can cost a lot. But if you're following that many streams, you're going to miss most of the notes (you definitely don't want to have all of them emailed to you). So maybe a minimum price is a good thing, forcing people to be selective when they subscribe.

Anyone thinking of writing a blog because of the current state of social media should know about Notd, and why it's great for blogging. Notd is a public media network that makes it easy for anyone to start publishing without knowledge of any blogging software. Notd has no ads and uses no algorithms to promote anyone's stream. You can be up and writing in a few minutes. And unlike some publishing platforms, we don't charge the people who provide the content.

Concerned about the takeover of twitter by a high profile billionaire who wants to reduce moderation on the messaging platform, many of its users are thinking maybe they should leave. If they do leave, or if they also just want a better internet town square, here are some things to consider. Notd is not a drop-in replacement for twitter, but that's a good thing, whether or not you are looking for a new home to take the pulse of the internet or add your voice. While providing a great utility, twitter does some things poorly and doesn't do some things it should do.
