Anyone use Substack for Newsletters? Recommended?
MARKETINGDammit. I swear I have shiny object syndrome. I'm now trying to figure out Substack, even just a wee bit so I can talk about it to clients or prospects if it seems suitable for them. I don't even know when I created this account, but I've somehow got 3 subscribers without ever posting (how...- Andy Black

Anyone use Substack for Newsletters? Recommended?
MARKETINGGemini suggested a workaround: The "Welcome Email" Bridge: Since Substack does allow one customizable welcome email, you can use it as a bridge. The Flow: User signs up for Substack → Receives Substack Welcome Email → Email contains a link: "Get my free 5-day mini-course here" → User clicks...- Andy Black

MARKETINGIt doesn't look like there's an autoresponder MJ, only the ability to create a welcome email.- Andy Black

Anyone use Substack for Newsletters? Recommended?
MARKETINGI think the discoverability on Substack is a key feature. You can get recommended by other newsletters, and even "tweet" by creating "notes" that show up in people's Substack feed who aren't subscribed to you or your publication. I was looking at YouTube shorts talking about Substack and...- Andy Black

How Sales Is Casually 22xing My Income [Thank you Fastlane!]
GOLD! HOT! EXECUTIONExactly. Hence those two Blaise Brosnan lines: Although starting at $5k/mth might be harder than showing value at $1k/mth and them then asking what else you can do for them. Another line I like is "The first purchase is a test ... both ways."- Andy Black

Anyone use Substack for Newsletters? Recommended?
MARKETINGI subscribed to a few newsletters on Substack and it really does appear to be more than just email newsletter software. They've built a whole social media type of platform now. From Gemini: You are absolutely right. In 2026, the description "email newsletter software" is almost a bit of an...- Andy Black

Anyone use Substack for Newsletters? Recommended?
MARKETINGI'm curious who else might be using Substack too. I like the simplicity of Substack. I used it years ago for a paid email newsletter but didn't like them taking 10%. If you're not creating a paid newsletter then I think it's free to use and you can send unlimited emails?- Andy Black

Weekly Progress: What will you get done this week?
GOLD! HOT! CHATIn Ireland you don't have to follow a curriculum. You just have to cover maths, English, social, ethics, and exercise. And have a way of tracking and assessing what you're doing. There's more info in the homeschooling chat thread.- Andy Black

$7k/mth reddit account hacked and gone...
SOCIAL MEDIAHow did people get to trust you in that Reddit? Did it take 13 years before they finally trusted you? Or did they trust you a lot earlier? What caused them to trust you? Can you replicate it, 1-to-1 and then 1-to-many? People buy from people they trust. So the question is now, how can you...- Andy Black

Figuring Out YouTube
HOT! EXECUTIONInteresting. I didn't realise a view just means the video showed in someone's feed, even if they swiped past it. An "engaged view" means they watched 10+ seconds, or to the end of the video if it's less than 10 seconds. The video had 1,441 views and 524 engaged views. Retention metrics are...- Andy Black

Entrepreneurship as a professional athlete
INTROWhat's the best that could happen? Just start now and figure it out as you go. Don't worry about the quality so much at the beginning ... because hardly anyone will see your posts anyway. As you get better at posting then the more people will see what you posted. As a professional athlete you...- Andy Black
