I see your Notes everywhere! Besides your political takes, I’d love to hear more about you—your passions, interests, or what makes you tick. :)

Hello hello

I don’t mind saying this again…This has definitely hands-down got to be the best chunk of Substack information I have receive thus far!! And, I’ve had some pretty darn good info.! Both of you were easy to understand, questions and answers were pertinent, thorough & flowing, and, very important for me, was the casual atmosphere! Thank you for making this available!

Gabby! Thank you so much for joining the Bootcamp again! That truly means the world. ❤️ David is happy, too.

And yes—Substack is such an incredible platform, and I’m so glad you’re loving it even more after the video. I also heard from someone who wanted to call it quits and will stay now!

Linda is absolutely amazing, and I’m thrilled you enjoyed it. She's on vacay right now. I can't wait to see what she'll say about the video interview.

Don't want to lie, but I think we cross 100,000 watch time ^^ Downloads are at around 30 ^^

So the metrics aren't the best because the tracking doesn't work well. Hope Linda can reach out to the team and fix this. If you pitch your podcast you always talk about podcast downloads.

Hope all is well and love today's note with the Canva video

You're having FUN! That's the best.

Yeah, I really am having fun with Substack! And I love creating quick visuals in Canva too. I think I am addicted to the combo of the two, with repurposing and expressing my ideas in so many ways.

Plus, I'm experimenting with voiceovers and slowly podcasts (loving my new mic). I'm interested in good metrics for podcasts for the near future. So the question you raised about good metrics is valid.

Chat seems to start growing slowly also. Just wow, so much creative energy around here. I like it because I am not bombarding my subs with emails through chat, but I can structure it by threads.

I hope you are feeling a lot better today and healing.

And you're about to reach 1000 subs. That's HUGE!! Can I help you with the Chat? let me check

Re Chat: I wouldn't make it for paid subs! I would open it for everyone to connect. Why? This way, you can attract new subs and build relationships with other moms, for instance.

A Note idea, share: "New writers, I'm a mom of three. By day: NYU journalism student dissecting how media shapes modern parenthood. By night: Snack-fetcher, Lego architect, and writer obsessed with turning everyday chaos into life lessons." and ask new writers with kids to share their Substack newsletters! Connect with other moms and dads this way!

I posted the note with some tweaks. I hope it picks up.

The chat is for all subscribers at the moment. I guess when I have more than 20 paid, let's say, it would make sense to start a recurring paid thread.

That's such a good idea! Thanks!

Yeah, the almost 1000 subs on my name are across 3 pubs, it's a bit misleading. My newsletter From My Kitchen Table has 160ish subs at the moment.

Thank you for this video! I have been glancing on Substack for the past months but have just started really looking into it and WOW! It really blew my mind. I was exploring the app and accounts the past days, and this video really pushed me to start my first note! So yes, I'm not quite sure how I'll go through this journey but I'm glad I'm on it!😊🙏

The video is so helpful while still being fun to listen to! Thanks to you and Linda for all of the wonderful advice 💕🥰

I know that It took me a very long time to finally been able to "Niche" down to the last molecular cell.

"The Tribal Dream-Stackers," are writing about our famous Tribal Dream-Stackers, Newsletters, Substackers and Podcasters' journey.

Behind the scenes tips, tricks and their secret superpowers.

What's New? What's Old? and What's Up?....with our fellow Tribal Dream-Stackers?

This is one way for me to help and guide other Tribal Dream-Stackers towards their flourishing journey.

This will be one of many contributions and services here on this Substack.com platform.

Our new writers, readers (hopefully our future substackers)and Dream-Stackers have to take into account that there will be some frustrating moments, while climbing onto this writing process.

The Tribal Dream-Stackers will always integrate positivity encouragement and empowement.

I know exactly how it felt when I began to read on Medium.com and I continued to read any and all genres of articles, for two (2 years).

My thoughts in my headspace couldn't stop spinning.

"I wish I could, I wished I might," write just like them."

I could write and publish articles like some of the successful authors I read about.

When I watched @Kristina God's recorded interview, I was both excited and dissapointed at myself.

@Kristina God, I highly appreciate your generosity, long hours of writing notes, commenting and consulting many of us Tribal Dream-Stackers. Thank you for everything that you do.

Spot on! I love your way of writing and your talent for engaging people all the time.

I enjoy using notes here, short and engaging, compared to posts.

I'm new here, but I'm happy to build a new community and be part of your newsletter too.

I love the perspective that writing should be fun, when the words flow naturally, so does engagement.
