How to develop AND sustain a Substack routine
Reflections from Marie and Naush
Hello everyone!
This week, I have teamed up with the amazing
from for a candid chat.We got together and shared our experience with writing as well as the ‘how’ and ‘why’.
During the session, we also went into why we chose Substack and how we fit it all in.
Here’s an overview of what we cover:
Why we write (0:00 - 21:00)
Introducing ourselves and reflecting on why we write
Going over our writing journeys i.e. how we started and how it all has progressed
How we decided what we would focus on
Why we chose Substack (21:00 - 28:30)
Supporting other Substack newsletters and not making that a superficial exercise
How Substack is different from other platforms and why it feels more authentic (F-bomb warning around 24:10)
Connecting with others over Substack
Taking it at your own pace (28:30 - 40:00)
Not feeling the pressure to produce text heavy content
Starting from zero and being ok with it
Learning along the way
The pressure to have a niche and how to get over it
This is a long game and your heart has to be in it
Balancing it all (40:00 - 53:00)
Developing a routine around Substack and sticking to it
How to avoid getting overwhelmed
Marie shares her process
How Marie manages it all with two puppies and how I ‘plan to’ keep up with my writing after having my first child :)
Wrap-up (53:00 - 56:00)
Hope you like it!
