Wish I’d seen this before I relaunched my newsletter last month! Still some great tips in here, thank you!

Thank you Sarah! It feels daunting and you are helping to demystify the process.

Such an insightful post with lots of great advice. I’ve been on Substack just over a year and love that you don’t have to get everything right first time. I’m continuously navigating this platform and adjusting based on my own learnings and also as the platform continues to develop.

Perfect timing! I've been on a seven month hiatus and just opened Substack for the first time. I can't wait to get back to writing!

Very interesting. I’ve literally (re)launched in last week or so. I haven’t followed this process exactly but I may tweak what I’ve done in light of this.

Although it’s a slow process it feels much nicer than anything else that be done so I’m cool it’s a slow burn.

(Secretly hoping it might explode 💥🤣🤣🤣)

I'm so confused as to what I'm supposed to name my substack. I've changed it a couple times but it just doesn't seem right. Any advice? I mean I know that other things matter too but this is just one thing I'm really confused about.

I've already changed my focus from interactive mini mystery games to focusing on pet detective/ pet rescue stories. But I've been planning to add an additional aspect that will be for PAID subscribers. It is based on my God-given vision to build a Disneyworld-like attraction for animal lovers--a companion animal museum, pet memorial center, and retreat center. It will cost millions. The exciting / scary part is that I don't even have the capital or the experience to do this, but I DO have the faith! Sarah I'm so glad that you mentioned the DNA training in November. I'll wait to launch this until after that class!

Sarah, you are the best! I am just rethinking my Substack, so this is incredibly helpful!

Hello. I am new here kind of. Of been kicking things around on medium and then came over here. I really dont have any traction on anyhting. Maybe because my writing just sucks. But I kind of relaunched everything. I am in a major life reboot and just started sharing what I am learning. Because of you (my first paid subscription) I did my first video. I also participated in your notes. No one liked it or restacked it but I responded to others and it started to give me a little push. I just wanted to let you know...thank you. I am planning on how to go 1-1 so i can hone these skills. Not sure how yet. Sub stack is a little hard to get around on for me. But you are teaching me so much. You rock!!!!
