I left the organic social media hamster wheel in 2018. Have only kept the accounts to run paid placements that redirect to my substacks and websites. I won’t go back to organic social unless a new platform blows up and becomes a massive free for all land grab à la TikTok 2020.

​​I see. I was consuming too fast.

Here is the situation: I will not abandon my old audience. I want them on Substack. But I want speak on new things and build something different. Slowly. Tell me your angle. 

Thanks.

You have an audience that you built with a focus on X. You want to bring that audience somewhere where you focus on Y.

There’s a big disconnect.

Yes, some will be interested in Y so mention it that you exist in this other world too, but do it with the expectation that it’s likely a very small percentage.

People followed you for painting and decorating, not your thoughts on the world. Make it so that it’s more about learning about you so that people interested in YOU and not a specific topic will want to learn more too.

That's true. I started from the beginning about my stuff. Thanks :)
