I made this video to express my fervent gratitude to my paid members and to explain the experiment I’m going to try with Substack chat threads as place to share sneak peeks of projects-in-progress. During the approximately 87 years it has taken to upload, I’ve already rethought my plan (re this post, not the chat threads) and I’m going to make it public, so free subscribers (whom I also dearly appreciate!!) can see what this plan actually IS.
The tl;dr is: I want to try using Substack’s chat feature for the paid-member offerings rather than tie myself in knots over (ugh) paywalls etc. Feel free to skip to the last few minutes to hear that plan. The earlier part of the video includes an explainer of Substack posts vs notes vs chat. If you’re a person who prefers to read Substack posts as email newsletters, you don’t have to change a thing. (Unless you want to be notified of notes or chat threads via email, and then I think you do have to tweak your Substack settings.)
Posting this video is a bit bananas—I haven’t watched it. This is pure me in my most unfiltered, dorky form.
(Oh gosh, I just noticed the thumbnail. Awful. Too bad! Hitting send!) 😆
P.S. I just realized I FORGOT TO GIVE THE BACKSTORY I promised about the map. Guess that means I’ll have to make another video! But not now. Fifteen minutes of chatter from me is enough for anyone in one go, I’m sure.
