Writers are using their Substack publication milestones to share what they’ve learned so far, from what’s been working to what they’d like to try next.
I hit the first year anniversary a couple of months ago and I did exactly that, look back at one year of writing and analysis. It prompted me to reflect on all the companies and news I'd observed (I write on purpose-driven companies). It was quite an introspective exercise but very useful to take a step back and formalise things. In case you're interested (it's in French): https://machineasens.substack.com/p/49-1-an-de-newsletter-et-15-conseils
At the end of August I completed one year of TREE. The first five months were on Mailchimp. Then I moved to theforest.substack.com Over the course of the year, I posted 235 times, including 40 posts from 8 guest authors. I doubled my subscribers from September 2020 to August 2021. Here’s my thank you post; https://theforest.substack.com/p/-tree-235-thank-you
I’m a retired professional Rugby player who writing about Rugby and my struggles in retirement, and recently did my one-year milestone post. I started writing to improve my communication, and used my milestone post to announce “The Leap”- a 6 part series where I share how I’m about changing careers. Here’s the link that post and would love for it to be considered in a future roundup. Cheers.
I just marked one year and as I thought long and hard about things, I decided to pause paid subscriptions and make everything free for the foreseeable future. It's the right decision for me for now.
I don't know how long I've been here. I don't know if anyone reads my stuff. I have no interest in getting paid. I do like this platform, however. I check out the things I've stuck up here periodically and leave a comment on occasion. Thanks!
These stories are inspirational and motivational. It hasn't been a year for me, however, since I transferred my content to Substack, I have been writing consistently at least once per week. I publish once/week, I read more too. I am learning a ton too. Attending Substack Grow was a huge help! I write "Life Intelligence - Live More. Love More. Do More. Matter." Because, well, we all need more Life Intelligence :) www.vpetrova.com

G’day Substack,
I’m a retired professional Rugby player who writing about Rugby and my struggles in retirement, and recently did my one-year milestone post. I started writing to improve my communication, and used my milestone post to announce “The Leap”- a 6 part series where I share how I’m about changing careers. Here’s the link that post and would love for it to be considered in a future roundup. Cheers.

I’m coming up on the six month mark soon, but I’m excited by these stories! Please continue sharing them with us.

With my Covid Newsletter I was wandering if Ii could invite them to make a donation to a fondation of my choice. But I do not know how...
