Substack is the home for great culture
Until I published my first novel, I'd been living without social media for eight years. Having to venture back out into the world of social media so that people would know I exist as an author was terrifying.
I found not much changed since I left it. The things I didn't like about it were all still there, and worse. After trying out all the major sites for a couple years (IG, Twitter, LinkedIn, FB), I decided to leave it all behind again and focus on something new - newsletter writing. I'm much happier this way. I engage with people in more meaningful ways and have the opportunity to explore ideas in ways that the post style of traditional social sites doesn't support.
I have actually repurposed a lot of content I previously posted on IG and expanded upon it, like you suggested. It's a great tip! No reason at all to feel bad about reusing your old ideas if they still hold truth and relevance to you.
Excellent as always Seth.
I’m sitting on my porch reading this right now. I played the video and literally heard the same thing there that I’m hearing in my backyard. I love PA!
