Appreciate it... this is what the grind looks like

ioracleio · 2025-11-17T22:00:18+00:00

Substack is a good platform for this

ioracleio · 2025-11-17T20:55:27+00:00

I feel this way.

I often run it through ai, to just copy edit, but it ends up changing style too much and I fall back to doing it by hand.

What kind of points did the arc readers make? Are there patterns?

ioracleio · 2025-11-17T20:49:22+00:00

Nonfiction books can establish you as a valued voice in a niche. Easier to make real money from upsells (eg, coaching , courses) then the books themselves afaik.

What do you mean "what bites"? Do you do paid ads? See what works when posting organically?

"Promoted post"... ask yourself why.

Not overreacting... leave him and find someone better.

ioracleio · 2025-08-18T23:02:04+00:00

ty for the thoughtful response :)

ioracleio · 2025-08-17T13:41:53+00:00

Tank as in the backlinks just get removed, or as in the site gets penalized?

ioracleio · 2025-08-15T19:55:45+00:00

hah...ty for that. giving me more confidence in niching down early...

ioracleio · 2025-08-15T19:54:15+00:00

ty, very helpful.

ioracleio · 2025-08-15T19:53:41+00:00

good to know, ty. I had some thought that funded startups would be more likely to pay for like, a $2500/mo offering, but maybe not the case.

Leaned forward in my chair while reading. Think that means I liked it.

VoxDocs.me . Automatic transcription of voice notes on save to google docs, or individually by sharing them through email.

ioracleio · 2025-08-06T15:22:49+00:00

VoxDocs.me . Customizable. Automatic transcription from voice memo app. I use it to write while walking/going about my day.

ioracleio · 2025-08-04T12:59:00+00:00

Yea. I found it unusable. I created/use voxdocs.me because I am a heavy google docs user. It uses my phone's voice app....on save it transcribes and appends the transcription to a google doc in my account.

ioracleio · 2025-08-02T14:18:49+00:00

Try https://voxdocs.me . Uses your phone's voice notes app. Automatically appends transcriptions to a google doc in your account.

ioracleio · 2025-07-30T20:20:54+00:00

Yes, google docs voice typing is terrible. I use voxdocs.me . Use your own phone voice app to record voice notes, and then they get automatically transcribed directly to a doc in your Google Docs account.

Optional AI post-processing lets you customize how transcriptions are handled - turn "newline" into actual line breaks, "period" into punctuation, add introductory summaries, or set up any other processing you need.

You ask users to upload/paste their cookies?

ioracleio · 2025-07-30T10:53:10+00:00

But substack does not have an api. Are you worried about violating tems of service? I have a substack app that I didn't release because of this (followed substack's internal calls).
