Oh thank you for the share I just noticed it! I didn’t actually post the tutorial yet as I got carried away talking about something else this week. At least I have my next post lined up though!

Lovely listen and lovely read as always Claire. This week has been a bit fraught, feel like I say that a lot at the moment. It’s the first week that I didn’t send a letter out yesterday but I am feeling the effects of burnout at the moment from my day job and my Friday needed to be just about pottering and releasing myself from the pressure of my enormous to do list. I’m interested to hear more of your views on different publications for the same writer vs different tabs.

AHHHHH thanks for the shout out!!! I've really love the space you've manage to multivate, you're using the platform exactly how I envision to use it and it's great to see it happening infront of my eyes. :)

Thank you so much for the podcast mention, Claire! What a lovely surprise to be reading through and find us mentioned! 🥰 I would never in a million years have suspected I'd love podcasting so much, Helen asked me to be a guest last summer and I surprised myself by thoroughly enjoying it. You really never know what opportunities are going to pop up 💫

Hi Claire, these are such useful tips, thank you. Whereas when I started my Substack I found it quite intuitive and easy (I love how easy using audio is for example) but I'm now finding it a little overwhelming to manage because there are so many new additions here, handles and sections and tags. I haven't even started notes or threads because I can't quite distinguish them and then I'm also unsure that I want to get into a place of feeling like I need to be posting in all the places to connect with my readers. I want to connect with them of course but I worry about it getting too noisy...and then I have bouts of FOMO for not activating them yet lol. Thanks for your posts,, they are really inspiring to keep the creativity going.

Also- I cant figure out how to Not send a post and just have it on my SS. I'm missing something I'm sure!

What an interesting thought about how you would design your own Substack dashboard! A great idea I think. . .

Morning! I'm getting to the stage where I'm about to bring over my mailing list from elsewhere and tbh I'm having a wobble. I relate to you saying about the different ways Substack can be consumed and I'm just a bit worried that my list might be confused. (I know they ain't stupid but I was confused when I first came here) so I suppose in writing that first message to them from here I don't want to overwhelm them with information about SS but I also don't want to assume anything. I'm probably overthinking it all 🤣

Also I think I need to put my Audio diary in a section, it's currently not a podcast but wonderering if it would serve me better if it was?!

This has turned into a long comment! Have a great day.
