What a fitting read. I was wrestling with all these frustrations this morning! Love this call out to all writers to create community and rise up against the algorithmic powers that be. Check out my newsletter, "Here, There, Everywhere", and I'd love to write a recommendation for "Pryor Thoughts". (Same goes for any other writers that'd like to turn me onto their newsletter; if I jive with it, I'd love to write you a rec!)
We come at life from different vantage points, but perhaps you'll like my perspective. Humor, pathos and more. Check out my newsletter, Rocky Point at https://jordanjankus.substack.com/
Hi Jordan! Part of the joy in reading is encountering different perspectives and points of view, right? Would love to check it out and get to reading. Thanks for sharing.
I haven't had success on LinkedIn despite being 6+ months active. Now I've started to post a newsletter on Substack, and let's see if it'll get me anywhere.
I never did end up posting on LinkdIn, what was the experience like there? Did you write only business related topics or newsletters or posts (not sure what it would be)
Quite mixed feelings. I started posting after I left my corporate job, so most of the things I post aren't business-related. I post about random topics that are of interest to me. Probably it's one of the problems that I haven't niched it down.
Found my way here via the guest post you did on Rohan Banerjee's Substack and wanted to say hello!
I write a weekly newsletter (every Sunday) about all things bookish, writing, and storytelling over at anushreenande.substack.com which is only just finding its groove, so to speak - I'm still very much experimenting with its possibilities.
Would love to do a guest post for you. My Substack newsletter, Rocky Point, are random stories from a long life. I am trying to publish around five or six posts per week. If you like what you read, I'd greatly appreciate a recommendation!
I'd be up for guest-post exchanges. Let me know the "hot topics" you like and I will make sure to give you good intro. I write on many topics but my recent hot button is a book of fiction I just put out, "Alfred's Journey to Be Liked." The protagonist is neurodivergent but the truths and quirky story line could easily be universal. I also like humor, modern cultural peculiarities (like what happened to our attention span), and occasional history (just finished a piece for Women's History month on two amazing female neuroscientists and their discoveries). Sorry to ramble...
Hi JJ - I believe this is a good article to feature for women's history month. I'm not big enough for you to benefit from being in my Substack, but the overwhelming majority of "reads" on this have come from the Forbes magazine mention of it when they did an article about my niece, Debbie Sterling. https://medium.com/p/ba74f6ec85dc
Hi JJ - thank you! I have had a few articles featured on Medium, but it seems they cannot and will not respond about this. It bothers me because my mom's story has been featured by Animation Obsessive and in Forbes, and my niece publicizes it through GoldieBlox, her company (one of the last, and very few successful female-led startups in past 15 years). They say they want us to bring "outside reads" but we receive no compensation for doing so, and we also have few to no avenues to talk with anyone there - about anything. I do not understand why low-information articles that are neither interesting nor even remotely personal seem frequently shown to me on my feed.
Interesting idea. I would love to host you JJ but you would need to write a very specific topic in a satirical style of Monty python. If you're up for the challenge then drop me a line. My newsletter is the alternative Torah and your article could be a rabbinical response to the previous chapter (like the Talmud translation!). Shit...if any of that makes sense and you're still keen...
Congrats on 1000! Can I ask how many are paid...what percentage?
Haha maybe not in my current skillset. Still, I can always have a read through and write up a recommendation in the next week or two. That work for you?
As for paid...let's just say its a far cry from what Substack said is the average lol. And not in the direction my local barista would hope.

Thanks Margaret, give me a bit of time to get to it but I'm certainly up for that. Busy plate these days

Hey Anushree, thanks for making your way over here, I'll be sure to check out your stuff in the coming week or two!

Gonna go read that now on my break, thanks for sharing Amy!

What a great story, I ended up submitting that one to Medium, fingers crossed they pay attention!
Thank you so much, JJ!! Blessings + white light!!

Sounds good buddy
As odd as this might seem, Aldous Huxley's "The Genius and the Goddess" comes to mind as I contemplate your writings.
