that's great Wes. I think you are right, you have to be interested in other people and you have to be interesting as well. It's not just posting or writing, you have to be a human being other wise it will not work

Most writing platforms reward teaching others how to win on the platform.

That’s not a business. It’s a loop.

What’s worked for me is different: I write because I already have a business. Substack is just where that work gets shared.

No tricks. No funnel. Just proof of work, in public.

I created a 7-figure virtual business on LinkedIn back in 2012. That business still exists. It's been passive income, run by somebody else now, and will be sold in the future.

Content is about getting people to know you, see you, and get comfortable with you. The key is what is the product at the end of the day.

When I was in a very popular video bootcamp on LInkedIN back in 2020 I met a ton of people. They had business ideas, used LinkedIn to succeed, and now may do the same on Substack.

What is the business, product, and model. That's the key question. I use all the platforms!

Out of all the substacks about substack is the only one i read...your Newsletter is light, refreshing and packed with value. More than that, the way you write feels like you're talking directly to me and giving me BFF level inspiration, motivation and love. Cheers 🍻
