You know I adore Substack. Writing here is a calm breeze in the hot mess that is online writing.

I was planning on writing you a Substack guide, but you know what, I’m not about doing work my peers have already done just to “Do it myself”.

Linda Carroll is one of the main writers at my publication Inspired Writer and she just published a gem of a piece for us!

Everything You Need To Know About Starting or Growing on Substack: a tutorial

I made all the mistakes

I have two Substacks and both make many of the mistakes she talks about.

The name is completely wrong on one of them.

And topics—well… let’s just say writing about writing isn’t going to grow your newsletter to the millions.

But hey, I can’t help myself. I love writing and I love that you love it too.

That’s a lot of love!

Fame—Pfft. I’ll leave that to the tech bros and self-help masters.

If you’re struggling on Substack, or want to get started, read Linda’s guide.

IT’S SO HELPFUL!

P.S. Do you have a Substack? Link to it in the comments so we can all come read it.
