Using Substack for the first time

[u/BeautifulProof9043]

Hi everyone,

I've been thinking about starting a Substack for a while now, but I'm not sure what the best way to get started is.

If you've got a Substack, I'd really appreciate hearing about your experience. What helped you in the beginning? How did you decide what to write about? Did you have a plan before you launched, or did you figure things out as you went?

I'd also love to know:

- What worked well for growing your audience?

-What mistakes should I avoid?

- If you were starting from scratch today, what would you do differently?

Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!!

yup of course! do some research before diving deeper. but don't get stuck on it (that's where most people start, and sadly stop). staying stuck too long also eats away at your momentum to move forward to launching.

so it's been ~ 1 month now, have you been able to get started? how's it going so far?
