The reminder to be consistent, especially posting on Notes, resonated. It's something I need to do a better job of.

Thanks for the great insights! I have 1 question : how did you manage to get the guest post? You just ask them or did you give something in return? Thanks!

Thank you Carlota!

By guest post you mean the interview with Ethan Evans on how to write the perfect CV?

Yes, I just asked.

We were already connected on Substack, and I have been a fan of him for a year already.

Thanks! So it is about you inviting peers to write or being interviewed on your substack right? Have you done the other way around too? Like you have written articles for other Substack peers? I was thinking on that at first to wider the audience!

Yes, haven’t done the other way around though.

Thanks for publishing this very informative article. Lots of good advice. I just started out here and trying to figure out how to approach and work on the platform is challenging. 😥

I’m definitely in that phase of constantly refreshing the page—so relatable and so annoying

Hope you can end that phase soon. It’s so distracting!

Seemed like it

Based on what?

The use of emojis?

Yes. Language. Seemed a bit different from the rest of the article. It's cool if you did, just asking.

I don’t think it’s different.

Maybe I used it to write the rest of the article 😜
