I’ve been on the lookout for advice for Substack publishers. And I found some yesterday in a Twitter thread by Linda Lebrun (@SubstackLinda).
The tips are directed to “investment, business, economics, and crypto writers.”1 However, I feel that other writers will benefit.2
This is my Substack version of a retweet.3
I hope you get more readers and subscribers as a result of these ideas.
Please follow @SubstackLinda (and @sub_pub_) on Twitter. 🙂
Ms. Lebrun's Twitter bio notes that her work at Substack focuses on finance, investing, and economics writers.
I plan to implement a few of these tips this weekend.
I asked Ms. Lebrun if she minded if I embedded the entire thread in a post. She said sure: “whatever will help people.” 🙂
I’ve changed the color scheme so that the Twitter cards don’t leap off of the page. In my view, several bright white Twitter cards on a dark background wouldn’t help people. If the cards still aren’t easy on your eyes, you can click on them to visit the original tweets.
Incidentally, here’s the original @SubstackInc tweet about comment cards, which is included in the thread. The comment cards don’t work on mobile browsers (except a browser like Puffin with hover capability). However, you can click on the commenter’s name to see the full profile page.
This was really helpful. I had already done a few of these things, but some hadn't occurred to me. For example, I use WiseStamp for my Gmail signature and I hadn't even thought about updating that! So thank you! :)
