Quick little update
New things and things coming up
Friends,
I’ve been thinking about you this week. Something in the energy has things feeling extremely flat for me.
I’m listening so will not have a podcast episode for you.
But there are so many other things I want to try with you.
First off – have you downloaded the Substack app?
If you haven’t yet, here’s why I invite you to give it a try.
It’s a really clean and quiet space to read or listen to your subscriptions.
And Substack has developed a way to chat. Right now it’s only on the iPhone app. Android is coming soon!
I’d really like to test out the chat feature with you. Will you get the app and join me there for a chat?
Next – let’s chat!
I’m so excited that chat has come along.
When I first started with Substack I really wanted to use it to create a sense of connection. I think, however, that we really are so well trained by social platforms that when it comes to liking or commenting on a ‘newsletter’ you receive in your inbox – it’s just not happening.
Now, with Substack Chat, I would like to open up a space for connection and conversation – in a way that is enjoyable and purposeful, minus the attention-grabbing distractions that are common on social.
Before I do, I want to test it out with you. I’m going to open up a chat and would love it if you would stop by with some engagement.
Next up – tell me how you feel about groups?
I’m not a fan of Facebook groups. I’ve tried it and it’s not designed to be helpful. The group leader has a ton of work to keep up with comments and responding.
And when group members show up in the group they get served up posts in such a random way.
Even so, while we’ve been trained to measure groups by the FB experience I know there is a desire for connection. I know it’s possible to create something that works and is good for you and good for me.
Can you tell me what you find valuable in groups? What do you really wish for when you’ve joined a group? Either free or paid? And honestly, how often would you really want to be engaging in a meaningful group where you enjoy the people there?
Leave me a comment below or hit reply in the email. Thanks 😍
Thanks so much for reading! I so appreciate you. Hope to see you over on the app! ~ Judith
