Are you self-hosting Ghost? on the same node you run your node?
My advice:
- Drop Ghost and instal/run WordPress (and increase SEO for your site)
- Make a nice and simpler theme that give identity to your publication, ideally a logo too
- Build an ecommerce to sell your merch online
- Integrate LNbits or BTCpayServer and get sats for yoru merch
- Integrate TwentyUno widget at the end of your articles (it will make the zapping easier)
- Crosspost from WP to nostr
- Blindly embrace V4V
Now invest your time to do it or DM me on nostr if you need help for points 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6
I think there's a lot of options. I hate wordpress but might have to go that route. Definitely will take this all into consider. Will take some time to reflect on this.

Why do you hate WP? it does the job and there's much more flexibility and customization enabled than Ghost. I do not agree with this comparison marketing page as there are plenty of alternative plugins that cost zero to enable those functionalities

I'll look into it. Might be the best option. I would prefer to have something cool and custom like Ungovernable Misfits has though which I'm pretty sure is not wordpress

Ungovernable Misfits
They actually use WP!
you'll be surprised to see what's possible with WordPress. There's a reason why it's the CMS behind the (growing) 63.5% of the CMS marketshare

I just figured that out too lol. Yeah Wordpress may be the way to go

It is a bit of a security nightmare.

Yeah that's the big downside. Will have to use minimal plug ins and get people who are web literate to audit the site.
