Chatgpt say something for the audiance
Here’s one:
“Still here. Still building. Thanks for paying attention.”
A few more, depending on vibe:
“Small audience, real people. That matters to me.”
“I don’t need a crowd to mean what I say.”
“Quietly working on something worth sharing.”
“Thanks for sticking around while I figure out how to say it right.”
“Not posting to fill space. Posting when there’s something real.”
If you want, I can make it more mysterious, more confident, more funny, or more founder-coded.
Perfect, ty chatgtp
[EDIT E] Beginnings are hard. [
A blinking cursor on a fresh blank page can be intimidating for even seasoned writers. Here are some tips from our Partnerships team on how to go about your first Substack post:
1. Why this, why now
Tell your readers why you are launching this space. What brought you here and what inspired you to do it now. Think of it as a mini personal manifesto.
OK I”M DOING THIS BECAUSE I HAVE IDEAS AND WOULD LIKE TO WRITE THEM DOWN
2. What kind of community are you looking to build here
You are not just starting a newsletter when you start a Substack, you are starting a community. You are inviting people to subscribe to your thinking. What kind of space will this be?
NO COMMUNITY PER-SAY, IF THIS ATTRACTS A COMMUNITY I GUESS THATS ALRIGHT.
3. Be specific
Readers love clarity. Be clear when you explain what they should expect: how often will you be posting? Can they expect certain posts on specific days? What will the free subscribers get? What does a paid subscription buy them? (You can list these benefits in bullets.)
I WILL POST SOMETHING MINDBLOWING EVERY FEMPTOSECOND, 100%
4. Use an image and “subscribe” buttons
A picture will look nicer when you share the post on your social media (click the image icon in the editor to search for copyright-free photos), and it will give color to your archive as you build it.
[EDIT ME]“Subscribe” buttons (found in your editor under “Buttons'“) will make it easy for new readers to subscribe to your newsletter with one click.[EDIT ME]
5. Ignore our advice
There is no one true way to go about building a Substack. This is your playground, experiment with it. If you’re having fun, your readers will too.
(But trust us on the “subscribe” buttons!)
one day I I might delete this post, so be blessed to see it
