I’m writing about herbal medicine so I’m wondering if LinkedIn would work for me? I’m thinking Facebook might work better and it’s a platform I’m super comfortable with. Could I use your strategies there?
What I’m watching? Facebook videos about autism, Rockstar (a truly talented voiceover artist who does hilarious pet videos) and Michael McIntyre comedy videos!
Thanks for this thought-provoking reflection. I'm very curious: what are your thoughts on using LinkedIn? How do you see it as a useful channel? To share issues through posts, to keep the newsletter in the "featured" section or something else?
I agree that starting one channel until the work and routine feel natural and then adding other channels is the way to go. I started with Substack last week. It took me a while, and it still may take a while until I can say, "OK, next one!"
But I have the other channels in mind already, want to create a system where I do not need to build components from scratch every time. It needs patience to wait with other channels. For someone starting from scratch, it may take a few months... Worth the wait?
Thats not bad advice, actually. I personally like 'Bluesky' to promote its great. Indeed its like anything else your gotta work your promoting and socials if you want the traffic. Have a nice one, humans!
Totally agree! If you think great content or product alone will get you discovered, you may take the lack of growth as a sign the product isn’t good when in reality it’s the marketing.
Also currently binge watching “The Traitors.” 🙌🏼 on another note, totally agree with your take here. The most successful and recognized creators diversify and promote their content through multiple channels.
Boot camp!

I feel compelled to add that creating other streams of income, however small, can help.

I’m still figuring out Substack, but I agree about focusing on one channel at a time.

I wrote about a similar topic (but with paid social ads) on Tuesday. You need to have diverse channels: https://open.substack.com/pub/cconnelly/p/q-and-a-how-do-you-attract-users?r=4cgby&utm_medium=ios
