One of the things I love about this community is that we are not out here by ourselves trying to navigate Substack and wondering if we're the only ones (insert the latest thing you found yourself thinking/confused about)
And I especially enjoy when people share stuff with me, they discover so we can all talk about it. It really takes the pressure off to have all the answers - which in case you didn't know - I don't. Yet having this space where we can all bring what we've discovered to one place makes everyone richer for the experience, don't you think?
📣Yesterday two people shared a new feature with me and each had a different way to use the feature - The first was @Ciska Venter who shared that there was a new feature where we can segment our audience - in her example she shared that we can hide under a "pay to reveal" banner bits of a post so we don't have to pay wall the entire post. (If you're curious about pay walling that - you can read more about it in this thread - Dissecting a Paywall Post) 🎉And then later in the day
@Soph Newman shared a post someone on Substack had created explaining how to use the feature to paywall based on different levels to encourage upgrading. I suspect that today is going to be a day of making videos for me 1) how to make the wordmark so it blends into the header section (it's been a busy week - but I haven't forgotten) 2) thoughts on using the segmented audience feature to inspire paid subscribers
In order to have paid subscribers though you must be accepting payments...
@Isabel Bar is turning her payment option on soon - today? Pretty excited for you, just saying! In the process she discovered she was doing something that I was afraid I was going to do early on - and that's get tangled up in editing the wrong email - She talks about it here it's so easy to do. I appreciate you sharing this experience with us as a cautionary tale for us all to check our welcome emails.

We had an exciting Mastermind yesterday, talking about Skool communities - @Tracy Nicholas the TLDR (to long didn't read - @Ken Hyra looking out for you - I got your back) version/hack - go to youttube (please subscribe while you're there) then open the description and find the transcript - copy the transcript and take it to your favorite ai - ask ai to summarize the video and organize it in a way that makes it actionable for you. - or you can simply watch the video or speed it up n watch it) I do have plans to share about the tool again in the Start a Business with No Money community next week - I'll keep you posted. On that topic did you know I'm a resident Expert there? Yep. Also, a resident expert over in the Pinterest Skool community! Creating Pinterest pins to grow your Skool community & Substack ... yeah kind of a "gimme" as they used to say back in the day... 🐈⬛🐠🦐🐓🦐🐠🐈⬛
