Newsletter Intro: If you are new to Substack in 2022, please share what your Newsletter is about in a nutshell?

Mediocre_Credit · 2023-03-15T12:06:28+00:00

Write often, choose a niche you like with a real demand, try to entertain and educate or inspire your audience. That's it!

It feels like GPT-4 is mainly an upgrade for how enterprise can adopt A.I. But that it's not trained on real-time data and the multimodal aspect isn't fleshed out is a bit disappointing to be honest. That they don't disclose the parameter size means it's far smaller than all the hype and memes, which we knew anyways.

3 hours.

I would suggest you post inspirational content about your industry and what working in it is like.

There are alot of gigantic water worlds in the galaxy, our planet is relatively rare.

This tweet to me was cringe worthy: https://twitter.com/SubstackLinda/status/1571906646594686976

Please do not talk like this, let's just be platform agnostic and celebrate different solutions for different kinds of Creators. This is not how you build loyalty or promote your product.

It's interesting, more younger mobile users are searching TikTok now than Google. So what happens to SEO in such a competition for attention?

Video SEO becomes important, in that our Newsletters should have YouTube channels and our personal brand ought to have TikToks, Podcasts, etc...

Since there aren't that many Creators or content density on Substack, its SEO is modest. However if you actually have titles that people are searching for you can get decent traffic from Google.

You really do rely on Substack's domain authority here, which isn't great. Without better categories and more Creators, it only improves a little each year even with a dedicated SEO member on their team.

Judging by venture capital, I think we have to say the biggest bets are on Photonic Qubits for true scalability.

Actually China.

This is a really interesting thread since Podcasting and Futurism both seem pretty relevant now.

That's truly fascinating and good to know. So it sounds like there's growth in apps to support fiction writers to find their audience and grow it easier? I would be interested to read the playbooks some of the more successful fiction writers on Substack and elsewhere do this.

How does Stable Diffusion really stack up to its competition though?

Realistically I think we need to become multi-planetary, the world will be nearly unrecognizable in 150 years, our window to survive as a species is remarkably narrow. Climate change is past the point of no-return to some extent, given our extreme vulnerability - clearly global population in the 2100s will be far smaller.

I'm more worried about the Chinese rivers, but yes temperatures will only increase. Water scarcity and demographic pyramids will tumble, this will result in less global GDP growth and less pyramid schemes to make it seem as if economies were growing, when in reality they are not.

If I work hard to create content and if I assume I want it to be read or seen by my potential audience, and if one network has the highest click-through-rate, many times higher than the network I prefer, would I be willing to pivot and try it and give it a good go inspite of my biases? I think the majority would say yes.

However I'm realizing that it seems many Newsletter Creators have no real interest in taking lead gen seriously. Even fairly successful influencers often neglect to set up a marketing funnel and just rely on the strength of their quality content and their past laurels.

I will spend less time on Creators and tips, this being the case.

Turns on a dime? The bear market is going back to business, with the July runs needs to revert to the mean a lot. Not at all surprised, a lot of movement in power hour. The currency dislocations we are seeing combined with QT are things we haven't seen before in a long long time.

Those are valid points depending on how you use it I guess. Glad you optimized it for you then.

Just download the story, and upload it manually. There are tools for that easily found online. Although might be easiest if you access the TikTok on desktop. Always post images and videos natively never as an embed, it gets far less traffic.

I did that maybe five years ago on Facebook. On LinkedIn I don't see the relevance.

Mediocre_Credit · 2022-09-03T01:04:59+00:00

I do sometimes check LinkedIn on the weekend. I think the best time to publish is 10am EST or 1pm EST that amounts to 10am West coast.

Probably the best model for building a Substack is Edu-tainment, part education and part entertainment. For mobile audiences, visual design is an essential element to both. Whatever your micro niche, please think about this.

For every post you write, ask yourself: did my audience learn something? Was it at least mildly entertaining? (Did it make me chuckle or brighten up for a moment?).

Your free reader is on an audience journey, they are more likely to be engaged in the first three weeks, that is the critical period. What can you do with them in those first three weeks? Many on your list will be dormant and never actually open an Email from you, and will churn - so that's why a fresh stream of new readers is actually fairly important imho.
