Just wanted to say ... thanks for making space for the vulnerability for yourself and others.
Part of the virtuous strands of a platform like this .... with it's emphasis on reading and the lag effects of evergreen consumption/sharing ... is that this message can continue creating conversation (and reflection!) for others as time goes on. That sounds like a great business and a meaningful outcome for a creative outlet.
Thank you Justin! The idea behind my Substack "Content Is Not King" is exactly that: placing an emphasis on creating conversations -- and yes, reflections!
I think one of the best things to do is decide whether the newsletter is a business opportunity for you or whether it’s a creative outlet for sharing your ideas. The business demands consistency. The creative outlet allows for more flexibility - I follow and read people who only post once a month and that’s just as valid. Deciding which model you’re developing can ease some of the pressure to post constantly
Lots to consider for sure. The truth of the matter is that I still don’t know what my Substack will be. Do I want to scale it as a business? Maybe keep it as a creative outlet? You’re right: I do need to take a decision soon. Thank you Lia!
