Hey Reader, When I returned to Substack last year, I didn't know exactly what to expect. I already had a newsletter tool I loved. (Kit) And I had a place to publish my long-form content to grow my audience. (Medium) But after the first few weeks on the platform, I realized that Substack could be a fantastic addition to both and much more.

Hey Reader, I see it all the time: Creators who have just started to publish their work but are already comparing themselves to people who are 100 steps ahead. And I get it. It’s easy to look at viral posts by someone who’s been writing online for years and wonder why your content isn’t getting the same traction.

Hey Reader, I'm writing this email full of fresh energy because we've been enjoying a lot of sunshine here in Vienna over the past week.
