I hope everyone had a great Halloween! I am enjoying this community and am thankful for @Jill Hart for introducing me to Substack. My Substack link is https://darreldees.substack.com/?utm_campaign=pub&utm_medium=web. I just finished setting it up, so it is still very new! My background is in Social Work. I hope to use my MSW to help create a safe space for anyone to get help with their struggles/goals. Weekly group sessions, private 1 on 1 sessions with an MSW, evidence-based courses in Hope Theory (still a work in progress). The idea of the group is to help hold everyone accountable. As a community, we will support each other, check in with each other, and provide honest feedback. I will help promote my member's communities and will share valuable resources. I have helped 100's of families overcome a verify of difficult situations. If you have a goal you are needing help realizing or struggling with something, please reach out! My DM's are always open. My community link is: https://www.skool.com/hope-to-action-9854/about?ref=1402c3ee62734c39a7dbf50a1a85ab84 I look forward to networking with everyone. In a short time I have formed some great friendships from Skool. I will be sharing this community in mine now, as Substack is such a great resource and Jill is amazing at it! Happy to be here and looking forward to showing support to everyone.

Did you know you can post instagram carousels on posts on Youtube? Yep up to 10 images. I think I'm in shock. I just posted on here - https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxLkc6xqHARgot8UR_sh93WtZIqwy7NH1H

So I have started a new YouTube Channel recently, and I notice that shorts content really drives discoverability on the platform. It's fine but the long form and short form video worlds are really like two separate ecosystems. Anyways, I do Shorts in batches of about 20 or 30 and put about 3 a day out. I put a long form video out once a week. However, now it is occurring to me that because all my shorts are about the same general topic, I can take a batch of those Shorts (like maybe 6 or 7 of them) and create a compilation video and call it like Membership Quick Tips volume 1 (or something like that) and release it as a long form video a couple times a month or once a week. Basically it's a way to take some of that short form content and bridge the gap into the long form content world of Youtube, that really seems to only be getting watched by your subscribers at this point. At least for new creators. That's my experience anyway.

It's so exciting to see the community growing. The more we grow the more impact we have. Let's use this thread to share what we're doing, Substack URLs & Skool communities - As you read through the answers if you know someone who would be a good fit for a connection whether on Skool, Substack, social media, a podcast they might want to get featured on or in real life - make the introduction.

I was interviewed by a friend yesterday and we chatted about podcasts & Substack. Thought I'd share this quick clip with you all. I do dive into way more detail in the workshop - you can find that here: https://coachsalchemist.com/workshop if you're planning to be featured on podcasts everyone who has gone through the workshop tells me how helpful it is.
