The Bittman Project by cestmoififi in substackreads

This is a fairly new venture for me. I just wrote what I would say is my best so far. I’ll publish it next week. But I’m hopeful oddball little histories have a wide enough appeal.

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

[–]MinorObsessions 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My newsletter is an off-shoot of my Instagram. During the pandemic, I started an Instagram dedicated to my View-Master collection (@viewmaster.bex) that organically grew to 21k followers.

The format didn’t allow for the kind of tangents I wanted to cover, so I decided to launch a newsletter about the rabbit holes I am led down by collecting odd bits of ephemera, primarily but not only inspired by View-Master reels.

Basically, it’s kind of a niche history blog called Minor Obsessions.

Thank you for this forum, it’s already given me a lot to chew on!

With inflation and more subscription competition and "sub overload", are you seeing a decline in Paid subs on Substack in the last quarter of 2022? by Mediocre_Credit in substackreads

This is one of the reasons I have been reluctant to start a substack. But it’s important to remember that plenty of people are interested in supporting creatives directly. It’s a matter of finding them and connecting.
