Thank you for the tips, Wes. I have enjoyed your publication. I am trying to apply the advice you give.

I started a publication with my Mom on art and illustration. We are trying to build a community based on simple drawings. Here is a link to our most recent post on our process of creating art.

There is no question why you are so successful here in my mind. I read every one of your posts that I see because your advice is clear and actionable. I’m finding by putting things into action I’m getting some results. And it’s exciting!

I write here as a way to document my faith journey, hopefully help others, maybe make an income. And to hold myself accountable to keep learning faith-related things.

I’ve been an RN for 30+ years and now find myself basically homebound to take care of my Mom with dementia.

It’s a tough row to hoe, but as a nurse I have skills to keep her home as long as possible. Soon though, I think it’s getting to the point where I won’t be able to and that will be another reason to lean into my faith.

Interesting re combining niches. I have a newsletter about being a couples therapist and one about moving abroad. Can those really combine?!

Hi Wes, congrats on reaching 8K. That's truly impressive. My count is like a spec on the horizon, by comparison.

For those scrolling the comments...

With my Fukc Typos Substack I write about copywriting and branding.

On my other Substack - From Resilience to Reward - you can find more personal posts and extracts from my latest novel, The People We Love, and short stories. No paywall, btw.

Thanks for the advice. Happy to read you can combine niches as i combine project/product management, technology (AI) and leadership.

Good tips, and I can say that they work! Our new Substack, True Crime: Case Reopened, is a collaboration between independent investigators, researchers, and people who refuse to accept easy answers.

Together, we’re digging into a variety of cases to uncover overlooked details, expose corruption, and shine a light where others have been told not to look. Here's the link:
