Oh dear, I'm so sorry. I thought things were picking up a little when I got 3 cents per read on one story, but now it's back down to around a cent on some stories, and a little more on others.
Granted, that's better than one cent per 25 reads when this all kicked off. The EPR seems to increase the more readers you have, which obviously sucks if you only have four readers. Trouble is, readers are less inclined to spend more time on here if their own earnings are in the toilet. So we get fewer reads, in addition to low returns per read. I am almost at the stage of tinkering with Substack, but fear it might be a complete waste of time from a monetary perspective.
