Write stuff people want to read

Do it regularly

There, that’s two. Even easier

“Write less, convert more.” That one caught my eye, because I enjoy writing 3-5 newsletters a day plus a daily chat feature.

I’m an old wire guy (AP). We write like normal human breath.

Plus, it’s my political therapy.

Am I writing too much?

Started here in Jan 2 and am allocating 4k subscribers. Better than I had hoped.

I'm learning from the "Notes Challenge" that they aren't short. In reading others' Notes, I've found that many are really long. I'd love to see a comparison of whether long or short Notes get more traction and attention. Substack is an exciting place to be right now, and I've learned a lot from Writers @ Work. I'd love to hear if Sara has done any research on the long and short of Notes. 😉

Is it just me or does that sign remind you of Severance?

Great advice!! If anyone here is interested, I am starting to post about my thoughts on the entertainment business as someone who is working in it. Would love to hear any feedback on what I have to say https://writtenbyellis.substack.com/p/what-am-i-doing

There is only one: avoiding articles like this.

I keep track of my subscribe and unsubscribe notifications. I notice my tally doesn't match with substack's. Substack undercounts. Is it possible that I'm not receiving notifications for unsubscribes?
