You mentioned Substack seemed more tightly knit. How has this shift in platform influenced your connection with your audience, your writing process, and your overall productivity? Can you give a specific example where that closer knit group has impacted you and your business?
Great question, John. It's really about minimizing platform overwhelm. Previously, I had a Facebook group for conversation, blog for posting articles, and newsletter for sharing those articles with my list. Substack brings them altogether under one area. The FB group felt noisy, so I archived it. The blog is good, but it lacked connection (the comments were turned off because of spam issues). And the newsletter, while many hit reply, still felt a little too one directional.
