Thanks so much. Excellent. Please make a post explaining the difference between notes and chats and messages! For the life of me I cannot figure out how they work.
Always good stuff, David. Have gotten a lot out of your work. Not that I care and don't assume that I do, but it looks like you gave away your politics in this post. In this day and age, I think if we're writing for the broad spectrum of the audience, we need to be mindful of not slicing away a significant chunk of our readers needlessly. Unless, of course, we have made a conscious decision to take a purposeful stand on one side or the other. Or someplace better.
Congrats on your success. This is a great write-up on how many things work. Put in the work to produce not only great content, but true engagement. I know I need to work on both things, even more so with my poor fiction one I let go to the weeds while pumping out a trilogy. However, I see this working out on my An Abundant Life that I have kept fairly regular and only miss a Monday here and there, like Labor Day. I'm still small, but have grown in engagement and have always had a great open rate with it. It truly is one step at a time.
Love this, David. Consistency is so important. I love to see how just making a small commitment to your craft, consistently, over several months, has had such exponential rewards!
Great morning read over my cup of coffee. Everything here feels so genuine, unlike other platforms that relay helpful tips but in a not so honest way. I’m super new here and truly thought this was simply a software to publish blogs (like a blogspot or something). I had NO IDEA it was an entire community-based social platform to house all of your writing! Incredible! Definitely taking this to heart (and taking notes feverishly), so my many thanks for sharing!
I love this, David. Well done on all your success! And you’re right, our newsletter is a business. Great tips here, too. Thank you 🥳.
Thanks Deni!

Did I? I must’ve missed where I did that.
Let's see if anyone else catches it... :-)

That’s it, just one small step at a time!
Cool dog🐾🤛🏻
