I use canva a bit but also hadn't known about a template for substack. Thanks, Mika.

Will check it out. Sometimes with canva, some of the better features within the free plan are paywalled.

These are great resources Mika, thanks! I am saving it.

This week I wrote about how Substackers can gain more insight into their readers by connecting their publication to Google Analytics: https://lifeapprentice.substack.com/p/gain-more-insights-about-your-substack-readers

Maybe it could help others.

Thanks Mika. I only have 4 subscribers after a month on my free Substack, but I hope for more.

I had 7 straight away, then nothing for 8 months. But I was really sporadic with my posting and didn’t do Notes or engage with other posts back then. When I started posting every week, I just spent a lot of time finding new and interesting newsletters and had fun commenting and engaging. I also had to get better at my headlines and my writing too, to be honest. Cheering you on!

wow! This is just what I needed. Thanks so much for taking the time to send this to me.

I’m so glad! Don’t feel like you need to rush to set things up. Any pressure we put on ourselves will kill our creativity. Xx

This is a great little resource for those who need it. Thank you for putting it together!

If I'm allowed to toot my horn, I take care of a different form of overwhelm. I do the actual work behind the scenes for those who lack time. Many writers have full-time jobs and other obligations, and I'm here to help writers steal their time back 😊

Hi Mika - great resources and I'm sure they'll be really helpful. I just set up my Substack this week and there was a LOT to get my head around. I should have waited a week and used your post! I'm saving it for future reference. And BTW I mentioned you in my blog post this week after one of your comments :)

Yay! I’m so excited that you’re here! That way I can “restack” your material and definitely be “recommending” it (I’ll forward you the Substack email about recommending). Just take you’re time. I love the way you write, just do you here! 💕

Also, in the setting you can create a link back to your blog 😊

Thanks so much for your encouragement - I'm just dipping in slowly rather than trying to migrate everything across. It's a fun new platform and a great place to meet new people like your lovely self x
