Appreciate your sharing these tips and your perceptions… which are a welcome drink of fresh water in a substack sea of hype and underlying anxiousness, LOL. This is a cool journey and I appreciate your steady, calm reflections. Best!
I’m a while into my Substack journey and support everything you say here. I think the most important thing is to be authentic and do what feels right for you, not what others say you should be doing.
However, I also recognise that I’m relatively early in my journey, in terms of where I’d like to be, and can see lots to learn from this post.
I’m always scared to mess with the URL: any specific suggestions on how to do that?
Hi Elizabeth. Why are you scared?
I guess I think I’ll break the link. It seems like a thing I shouldn’t mess with, or maybe I don’t understand the benefits of customizing it.
These tips just sums up basically all the nitty-gritties.
What I'd add is learn to have patience.
It's by far the most important skill that you need to have to become either a good human being and a good content creator.
Don't hurry too much for it.
Do what you can to the best of your ability but don't get obsessed over the results.
Rome wasn't built in a day.
Yes, totally agree. We see so many posts on social media about growing by x in 30 days. It’s mad and it’s making us all impatient.
Thanks for this — Have a new subscriber :-)
Ah amazing. Thanks Mark and welcome aboard.

Thanks Mo.
It’s easy to worry you aren’t doing it right or falling into the trap of comparing yourself to others. No one’s journey is the same.
Always great reminders no matter if you're starting out or have been here a while.
Totally right. With all the new features these days it’s easy to complicate it but the basics still need to be in place.
