I agree. Substack isn't a newsletter platform. It's a social media + blogging platform. Which is also dabbling in podcasts and videos...

Sort of a Patreon.

The issue with ConvertKit is discoverability. The Creator Network works only if you ... Network.

You need SEO or social media to drive traffic to your landing pages. Do you have that traffic?

Hi Alberto, as you can see, I'm still here.

Planning to get back to Substack, for longer form posts, and to kepp Convert Kit for sequences, short TLDR emails and segmentation. Will see if that's going to work better. Thanks for your advice, I agree. And to respond to your question - I have some small following on Medium, and decent on X.

Ah, ok! Didn't know that.

I started on Convertkit and have 600 subscribers there. I'm on Medium too!

But with the Boost, traffic is a rollercoaster

Hi Selen, thanks so much for your recommendation.

I am actually thinking about un pausing this NL, with the slightly niched down content.

Not sure yet.

We will keep in touch across different channels, that’s sure :)

You eloquently expressed the challenges and growth journey of your newsletter. By transitioning from Substack to ConvertKit, you prioritize your well-being and the needs of your readership. Balancing a job, a side hustle, and family obligations is no easy feat, but your dedication to authenticity and consistent value shines through. Here's to the next chapter of Marketing Fairy! Best of luck!
