I launched InsiderBeautyBuzz more than 10 years ago because I was craving a way to share my beauty musings without having to run my ideas by anyone. What started on the now-defunct iWeb graduated to Tumblr, and was ultimately reinvented as a Squarespace blog. As challenging as it is to keep up with all the changes in social media and information-sharing platforms, I’ve decided to migrate over to Substack.
Perhaps you’ve noticed that I’ve NEVER placed a single ad on my website. Sure, I make a few commission bucks here and there (and regularly receive products to review), but despite the time I put into InsiderBeautyBuzz virtually each and every day, my blog has never been a revenue stream for me.
Deciding to switch to a paid-subscription approach on Substack was especially difficult. You’ll still be able to search (and enjoy!) all of my existing content on InsiderBeautyBuzz.com as I work on moving everything over to its new home—but all new posts posts since early January are now available here. If you’re a current newsletter subscriber, you don’t have to do anything and you’ll get an email whenever I add something new! If you’re not a subscriber, just enter your email in the pop-up at the top of this page and you’ll get all the latest directly in your inbox. It’s that easy!
I’ll be keeping all of my new posts public (i.e. free) through March 1st to help gain some subscriber traction and work out the kinks, but after that I’ll be charging $5/month for paid-subscriber content. I’ll definitely be keeping at least one post a week “free”—and then you can decide if you’d like ongoing unlimited access to the archives and exclusive subscriber content (for less than the cost of a Starbucks run).
I’m really excited about this new chapter and I promise I’ll work even harder to deliver content that will help you make the most of your beauty journey (while making you chuckle or smile.) I hope you’ll join me!
xoxo,
Paige
