Substack Is Not Social Media

<p>I just came up for air.</p><p>12 days delivering in a free masterclass. 7,200 registrants. Heart fully spent. And then I hibernated. I didn’t post, no notes, no Instagram, no Facebook.</p><p>And even with a little break, my Substack kept growing.</p><p>I am going to share why in this episode.</p><p>Everyone is about to try and sell you a Substack playbook. Post three to five notes a day, the note-stacking formula, the same content hamster wheel that burned you out on Instagram dressed up in a new outfit. Don’t take the bait.</p><p>Substack is not social media. It is a multimedia publishing platform. This distinction is everything and it is what I cover in this episode.</p><p><strong>In this episode:</strong></p><p>— Why your Substack strategy is actually your business strategy meeting your human design</p><p>— Why “Substack gurus” don’t exist (and why they never really can)</p><p>— Why notes is ONE feature on the platform, not the whole platform</p><p>— What I’m doing differently now that the masterclass is closed</p><p>— And the new way I’ve reorganized my paid tiers (including the brand new founding member room I just opened)</p><p>A line from the episode I want you to sit with:</p><p>“You are the guru. You’re the only one who can really understand how to best leverage Substack for yourself.”</p><p>The platforms have always told us how to show up. Substack is finally a place where you get to decide. Lead with audio. Or video. Or writing. Be on for a week and rest the next. Whatever runs in alignment with YOUR design — not someone else’s three-notes-a-day template.</p><p>That’s what we’re building here.</p><p>xo, Julie</p><p>P.S. The Red Rebelle Room on Substack is now open. <a target="_blank" href="https://www.julieciardi.com/subscribe">Join us.</a></p><p></p><p></p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.
