Thank you so much for this post!! The full step-by-step plan is so helpful, especially since I've been so confused and overwhelmed! I've only been posting once per week, but definitely making that more now. I also have a couple questions that I'd be insanely grateful if you answered, but no pressure!
1. What do you recommend if there's multiple topics I want to talk about? Would it be better to stick to one topic or can I do posts on all of them? (I want to write about books + writing + cats, and I feel like I don't have *enough* knowledge on any of them 😅)
2. How much time do you recommend spending on each post before publishing? And what's your target length/word count? (specifically as someone who's just beginning)
Thank you SO INCREDIBLY MUCH once again! I love your posts <3
as for 1) - it really depends on your goals on Substack. if you just want to write, you can write whatever you like :) if you want to turn it more into a business, I would recommend to focus on one topic in the beginning. so people know what your focus is.
2) as for time - also depends on your own preference. I like to keep my posts fairly short, but still packed with value. I usually take a few hours, sometime only 1 to prepare them :)
Loved your tips esp. the second one. Thank you Claudia.
thank you, Divya!!

hi there, great questions!
