Episode notes
Start With One Publication
- Avoid launching multiple publications early; focus on one to concentrate effort and avoid splitting attention.
- Integrate different topics under a single publication around a clear commonality instead of separate subsstacks.
Stick To One Language At Launch
- Generally avoid publishing the same content in two languages unless the second language is widely spoken and justifies the extra work.
- Start with one language to prevent algorithm confusion and subscriber churn, then consider expansion later.
Use Chat For Weekly Community And Feedback
- Use Substack's chat to build two-way engagement and community, starting with a weekly session and simple prompts.
- Ask about goals, challenges, and wins to learn subscriber needs and inform better content.
