Those open rate percentages on Substack are crazy high! You could sell anyone the idea of promoting their chances of someone clicking on a link to a book on substack when it's 4,900% (on the low end) better than social media! WOW!
Thanks Jeannette, it sounds like you're right in the midst of building those connections with readers. It's an essential building block to having a writing career.
Magdalena - so nice to e-meet you! It's simply the truth. And getting easier and easier for people to get started and get momentum. (Especially with platforms like Substack.) Looking forward to chatting with you more!
Okay, hit me on the head with words of truth. What do I know best? 1) Multiple Sclerosis; part of my existence for sixty-six years, 2) Music; four-year degree and over thirty years of teaching music fundamentals, 3) Cats; owned, loved, nurtured the critters many years. Thanks, Jen Baxter!
Informative

Yep, but it does take work and consistency. It's not easy breezy - but it will pay off. Happy to see you here and that these resonated with you:)
The hardest thing for authors is to sell their book. The easiest thing for authors is to write a weekly letter to their readers.
That's a great quote! We could make that into a note Neera!
Email is still the #1 sales channel.
It definitely is Purdeep. Glad you liked this.
My publication is The Skillful Writer! We are apparently mining some of the same vein. Good luck!

Love this Jen: you are really talking directly to the authors now ;)
Agree, if I were to give 1 tip to any author it would be the same: build your email list.
Absolutely, I think building that relationship with readers is essential. (And that's what we're all doing here:)
Smart advice and accurate insight!
