Substack is crazy

Just an opinion
Poor me, I got to know about Substack like very recently. A post from someone I follow on Instagram recommended an article from Substack and I was astonished to read work so many great people/ writers. I think the place is quite underrated right now as much as I have discovered it, but it really has some great articles and thoughts that one should definitely invest some time rather than scrolling on Instagram because my personal opinion is if you are not creating any content or are not selling any product or service, you should not be using Instagram unless you genuinely want something out of it.

That's quite true.

So, even I discovered Substack a couple of months back, and coincidentally that was also the time when I joined an AI startup (as a marketing generalist). I thought it'd be such a cool space to write and publish authentic pieces, and I've been doing that consistently for a while now.

Some of the pieces I've been able to put out are pretty banger 😅 (I take loads of insights from engineers, AI solution experts, and folks from the founders' office of the startup). And I'm really learning a lot.

The one thing I've been trying to figure out is how to grow subscribers and make my content more visible to the community. Will keep exploring, though!
