I love the way you've shared your reflections on your process! Thank you!!
To share a little more personally, as you have - I write when I can and publish when I can (sometimes that's 3 or 4 posts to the web per week!, plus maybe 2 via email) because I know there may be a time in the future when I can't post/write at all. I'm sure I'm not alone when I say life is unpredictable, but it's especially so for caregivers.
So, I'm weaving the priority threads of resources, like tight threads- creating a base. There's been some great feedback. Feedback is my measure of success; Resonance. It gives me hope that what's already there will ripple out through followers ;-) Comments and recommendation ripples are increasing! YAY! ;-)
FYI I go to Dan Blank, Sarah Fay, and Simon K Jones to keep me sane and grounded and to open up my 'field of vision' to what's possible. Kristina God and Karen Cherry keep me up to date with functions and features on the platform!
Lovely insights and ideas to implement -- as I befriend the Monkeys of Overwhelm in my head! Mantra: I CAN offer paid subscriptions. I CAN cross-post to other media. I CAN reach out to people in real life and email... etc. One baby step at a time.
Usually when I'm interested in finding groups I resort to sites like reddit, where I found this post. But I hadn't considered using the platform itself to reach out and find something I could call a community. I'm not too familiar to it yet, but I'll be trying to get more used to it from now on. Thanks for the tips!
This was really helpful. As a mum of two under two, my time is limited but it’s what I do with it that counts. I love what you said about being transactional on other social media websites. That’s what I’ve started doing because I really don’t have time to social everywhere. I’ll look for you on LinkedIn as well! Thank you for sharing this on my Notes!
Just want to say thank you for this — it's so thoughtful and comprehensive. I'm still new to Substack (and public writing :)) and found such comfort in what you shared of your early days journey. Thanks Krista!!!

I love the advice about taking a step back. Substack burnout is real!
All great tips. Will try these as I just started my blog on substack
