Hi Simon - Thanks for the great videos, I've recommended them on my page since right now, most of my subscribers are direct, non-substackers and are looking for info on the platform.
I'm 3 months into being on Substack (4th website) still navigating & optimising esp. best uses for Notes, Threads and Chat. - like CK Steefel's comment
I've avoided starting a Chat myself because I see it as a moderated discussion that you need to be present for - like a whatsapp group chat with your own invited group (free or paid subscribers - depending on how you've set it up)...I think I read somewhere on the 'support' page that you need to 'be present & responding for at least 30mins to optimise its use' ...not poss for me BUT I have participated in chats. So Reactive vs proactive use.
Thanks for the Thread example that helps - so is it always used as a Q-discussion, I've a few ideas for a thread a day to serialise or link or build on an idea...
Notes is where I've been most active - I like how we can share our comments on an article-post as a note, so the author and responder are 'seen' I'm still figuring out how to optimise its use...
I've just realised how different the desktop and mobile app experiences are. E.g. sections. Everything morphs into one long scroll of posts on the app! Can you share tips on how to ensure 'Sections' are distinct in the mobile app..I thought the 'Section title' would be in the headers.
Could you, in a future video or article, decipher best uses of Notes, Threads, Chats with examples? I can't find a simple table.
For now I'm focused on Notes before experimenting with Threads
Hope you don't mind the long asks and questions! I've done a few laps of the support pages without much clarity.
Hey Simon. Well, I have finally sent out my very first post on SubStack. Any backlash, and I will be holding you and your helpful videos responsible. Just a heads up. Seriously though. Much appreciated. Cheers. G.
Thank you so much for this. I blindly did my first post a couple of days ago and now realise I need to watch/read all your posts as I think I’ve got it all a bit wrong. I have a lot to learn! Thanks for helping.
Simon these post are really informative! Please continue to demystify. Looking forward to the next.
Many thanks Simon - as a Substack newbie, these intro are very helpful
Hi Ashley! Happy to help.
