Listened to this a couple of hours ago. Was fantastic to get tips from someone who isn't famous, didn't previously have an opinion column at like, the NYT, and yet built their newsletter (not substack!) up with their talent and persistence.
I definitely agree with Jessica. Although I've written about Substack every now and then, I don't think I've ever once referred to my newsletter as "my Substack." It's just my newsletter. I definitely don't want to chain my publication to any type of branding when at the end of the day, the service hosting it has absolutely nothing to do with the themes or content that I write about.
Fantastic advice here! I prefer a strict publishing schedule, but that's more a forcing function for me than anything else. Without those guardrails, I'd just have 50 tabs open all day ping-ponging between them
All good advice, but who are these people getting 100 emails an hour and why don't they manage their inboxes? One-click unsubscribe, automations, labels and folders are all a thing.
Great summary! Going to listen ASAP. I love The Unpublishable - I carry Jessica around in my heart past every Sephora and into every pharmacy. 😅
