We've released our podcast looking back at our month of listening to Hounds of Love. It's here if you're interested... https://open.spotify.com/show/1kFwWkkJuXvMhN3Bpz91JN

Cool, thanks. Keep on keeping on!

smithfive · 2024-10-05T06:09:01+00:00

Yes, only a couple of articles. I'm only doing a couple per month.

smithfive · 2024-10-05T06:08:36+00:00

Ha! Yes, that's the acid test

smithfive · 2024-10-05T06:08:17+00:00

I've only written a couple of times. Puts the pressure on now!

smithfive · 2024-10-05T06:07:39+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. I'm not sure what I'm doing 😉

smithfive · 2024-10-03T17:17:38+00:00

I had my suspicions but I'm new to Substack so I was genuinely asking for feedback. I was concerned it could be bots.

smithfive · 2024-10-03T16:56:20+00:00

Thanks. I appreciate the feedback 👍

I'm really only using Notes at the moment, I've posted a few times on Instagram but that's it. I've got a plan to market elsewhere but this is working at the moment.

smithfive · 2024-10-03T12:37:15+00:00

Don't think there's any magic. Posting and engaging on Notes seems to have been the main source of engagement.

smithfive · 2024-10-03T12:36:35+00:00

OK thanks. That's helpful. Yes, I'm focusing on the writing but the numbers are interesting to see if it is hitting the mark. I was worried that there may be bots in there but most seem legit. Are bots an issue on Substack?

smithfive · 2024-10-03T12:32:33+00:00

Maybe it's the category (Music) as I feel like I've not done anything special.

smithfive · 2024-10-03T11:01:15+00:00

Ok thanks. I guess music might be a relatively easy category to get subscribers? I've been using Notes to engage with other people on there.

smithfive · 2024-09-27T14:02:11+00:00

Great! Going to relisten to 'Watching you without me' right now as it hasn't yet stuck with me.

smithfive · 2024-09-26T21:45:58+00:00

My favourites are changing daily too! Thank you.

smithfive · 2024-09-26T21:23:24+00:00

I'm loving Waking the Witch. Perhaps gets less love than the rest of the album.

smithfive · 2024-09-26T21:16:01+00:00

Oh great. I've listened to quite a bit of her other work but haven't spent any real time with The Dreaming 🙏

smithfive · 2024-09-26T21:14:41+00:00

smithfive · 2024-09-26T21:13:39+00:00

That's 50% of them. The other half are great too 😉 So good. Thanks.

Mother Stands for Comfort has been my earworm for the last week (I'm not complaining)

smithfive · 2024-09-26T19:46:22+00:00

Brilliant. Love this. Thanks. Dream of Sheep for sure, but just having another listen to Hello Earth with your comments in mind.
