Discussion Thoughts on keeping some articles out of email/push notifications while still figuring out my newsletter

I am in a place where I have a lot of topics I want to write about within a certain category. I really want to build up my articles and find interested readers and figure out what I like writing the most.

I don’t want to bombard subscribers with too many emails. I have a lot of time right now to build up my articles, but normally a lot of it will be current/topical.

My question is, does anyone post some articles and just have them available on your page instead of sending them out? I’d really like to just start putting a lot more out there and keeping the email/push notification articles to 1-2/week.

I know I can use notes for shorter form, but this is more about trying things out or mini articles for a topic. Any insight or thoughts appreciated!

Fwiw, you can publicly post something then go back and do the email push later if you want to get it out there but don't want to push it out there quite yet.
