What a great resource here. I'm new to Substack but built out a list on Mailchimp and want to echo one thing GJ says: It's about providing value to your readers. Asking yourself how you can be helpful to them every time. For me, on Mailchimp, I built a seven-figure business because week after week I wanted to just provide value to writers who were knew to longform writing.
Start by figuring out how you can give back to people, teach them what you know. They'll reward you for it.
I've found a more focused idea through generating content, but I've been fighting the idea of whether to keep my newsletter here or move it to somewhere I own my audience and can customize it more to be a standard newsletter style. I've enjoyed Matt McGarry’s newsletter content, and his advice is to stay away from Substack. 🤔
