What a refreshing “stumbled upon it” piece on a day when cynicism was overly ripe. Write consistently, share generously, engage authentically. Trifecta. Congratulations!
I knew this day would come!!! So excited for Mikala. She also posts the funniest memes on Notes. The way she responds to rude comments is inspirational/a masterclass on grace and patience.
Is there a book that explains how Substack is designed to work? Are there Rules and Fees? I signed up but I don't know the basics and am unsure how to post my novel as a serial.
Mike, I serialized a memoir on Substack last summer. It was a lot of fun and felt so creative. I'm happy to help show you the ropes, if you like. It's too much for a comment here. Feel free to check mine out (it's still out there in Substackland and some of the posts are free, just not the book chapters) .... goodeyebadeye.substack.com
Consistently having fun is the best way to grow an audience, and make sure you grow your writing skills. I find lighthearted humor goes a long way, especially when writing about very serious topics.
Thank you for sharing Mikala’s experience, it’s so encouraging to read and validating that to keep putting one foot in front of the other (posting regularly) is a strategy that works… especially when it feels like it’s the only strategy we might have! 🙏🏻😊
As a decades-long runner and a "baby" indoor biker (yeah, Peloton), I am so happy to see writing about health-related issues taking off. I'll be looking for your book.
PS: Your post is the first one (after being here a year or so) that explained why/how "Notes" works. From now on, it's Notes all the way. Thank you!

Finally! A look at us little folk ! :)
"You never know who’s reading" - so true and inspiring... new opportunities can pop out of nowhere when writing a newsletter

Thank you so much for saying that, Jenovia!
I'm new here, but I've seen some of her posts and I'm impressed!

Ah, maybe I should do that too. I'll check out your post.
I love how you worded Substack as a Substackland, creative. Also, it's very kind of you to help someone new here. :)
Yes, I’m unsure of it, also. I shy away from social media, and so I’m not really privy to them. ? Why should I be comfortable here?
This is inspiring! A book deal from Substack? eek, the possibilities!

I like how you started your post. Nice way to live I think: "Consistently having fun".
Thanks for your motivating message. I have wanted to write for a long time and your thoughts are inspiring to those of us who are thinking about it.

Thank you for sharing your journey on Substack. It helps explain the growth from free to paid subscriptions.
Thanks for sharing 😊To sum up what I took away from your post, do what you love and the rewards will follow. ❤️
Thank you for sharing!
The older I get, the better I feel about my body. Of course - I've stopped worrying altogether.
Mikala is great. I love her newsletter. So happy to see her expanding and succeeding.
This is my goal too. I’m on chapter seven at the moment, posting once per month, and the consistency has really helped move the project along
