Those are some very good tips. I had not thought about finding Facebook groups. Thanks!!

Don't forget Reddit, also, although you have to wade through many knuckle-draggers as commenters, but just ignore them. Plus, sometimes Reddit gets hard-core about not allowing "self-promotion," which can sometimes mean Substack articles, they'll deem. So, fine, they just delete the post.

I'm lucky I write about music, rock stars, rock history, and decade-specific music, so the number of FB and Reddit pages/groups I can slap my pieces up to seems limitless...certainly a lot. Having said that, I'm entering my 11th month 'Stacking, and I'm only just now approaching 120 subs, with only about 4 or 5 paid (mostly monthly). Good luck!

Just be careful not to self-promo on reddit! You will get eaten alive

A) I don't care. B) I've been banned from the Baseball sub, and have somehow managed to turn the page in my life and move on. But, I see your point, but again, I have a low tolerance for hoop-jumping...........but, that's just me................apparently.

Haha I totally understand! Reddit is just notorious at sniffing out self-promo. It may be hoop jumping, but if you present your content as "something I found" and not "something I wrote" it tends to be much more acceptable

I'll try it! I'm just enough of a rock'n'roll whore.....apparently......to do whatever it takes to make Massa Reddit happy!!! Thanks!😊I'd actually never thought about sort of "shielding" my authorship, and going, "Hey, look at this great new article I found!"
