Walks have generally helped with my mental health but I still can't get important things done. I'll try to get the morning sun. Thank you so much!

This is incredible. Thank you so much for taking the time!

I'm gonna try this out. Thanks a bunch!

Oh, got it. Thank you!

Ah, I get it! The playback speed options can be a bit off-putting when you're quite used to reading fast. So far, yes it's a lot more tech people but that seems to be changing slowly.

I like the newness in terms of just voice (the experience), and feeling it a lot more personal while hearing all these usually distant and far-fetched people!

Appreciate the shout-out! Congratulations on the launch :)

Talking about cool things in a little more depth than social posts.

And yes, I agree; it is getting too crowded :(

Mh substack, medium, hackernoon. Many places, all sinilar and all not that great for that :/

Eventually making money from something you enjoy doing is a win-win. But starting off somewhere to later restart elsewhere is gonna be painful.

Substack apparently has (or had?) a good reputation, but I read people switching to other platforms, and started doubting it.

Gotta look up hackernoon. Thanks :)

I am kind of in the same boat as you. I just started a blog on my personal website jut I am looking to monetize at some point in time. I don‘t lile substack because it harasses the reader too much. Hackernoon has a really nerdy vibe to it.

I think managing the newsletter yourself is really the best way to go and then talk about it on social media. My main problem is that once you want to make money with it everything becomes less enjoyable. Gotta start thinking about your funnel, your landing page, etc.

Have you heard of beehiiv? It's apparently quite creator focused.

About the money-making aspect, it seems like a later stage thing atm. But yes, I get where you're coming from.

I haven't used beehiiv. Looks similar to what other offer, too.

For me it feels like either you want to make money or you don't and that is the major drive behind the choice. Most tools have some way to export/import subscribers.

I would probably try to have a newsletter and also publish on your website for example. This way, people will have a chance to checkout your content before subscribing.

Omg, this is hilarious and extremely relatable! xD
