Wow, so much to dig into here, I love this project. 🧡

My favourite for essay club and most liked post this month was:

Well - now my saved reads is bigger than ever 😍 I’m so desperate to really get focused on my Substack but I struggle so much with knowing what to write or really sitting down and learning from your great content how to really do Substack - hopefully some of these beautiful reads will get me motivated!

Yes definitely Rach and on Sunday if you fancy I have a class called 'Turn your Instagram into a beautiful digital magazine on Substack' where we'll explore 'content buckets' and get all the decisions of what and when to post down! Feel free to come or upgrade to membership to get a replay. Happy writing lovely. xx

I was pondering that one actually as really falling out of love with Instagram for sharing my art! Think replay will be my best option, thank you xx

Great! I’ve had a boost over there by sharing those “add yours” templates to my stories - it’s not always a fun game to play is it? The workshops really about digging into owning the content we’ve already produced and navigating how to re mount it here

Expand full comment

No, I’ve not been consistent which I know the algorithm hates anyway and I only have a few followers but it feels so much worse when I do post now. I’ve seen an increase of the “add yours” so thanks for the tip!

Yes it boosted my story views by over 100 each time… so good for reach I suppose but not sure what else 😆

Well yea that’s the blooming point isn’t it!
