Those analytics are bonkers. You’d think they could at least get the open rate right??!

You would think, right????? It's been frustrating me for months now. Thankfully it should be fixed with my new email CRM.

Thanks for sharing what your experience has been. I've seen a lot of people switch from newsletter to Substack of late and had been curious if the shift ended up supporting (or hurting) their efforts.

From the outside, I've liked the idea that it feels less stressful and complicated (I don't personally have one, but that's what I hear most people say when they switch). That said, I know that it lacks a lot of the features I like in a newsletter (namely automation and journeys).

I appreciate that you explain the reasons you initially started a Substack and what eventually ended up not working. Look forward to continuing to hear from you regardless of your new platform ✨

Yeah, I think if I was looking to monetize this newsletter (hopefully, I never have to do that), Substack would be a much better option. And I totally agree with what you said! It being less stressful and less complicated certainly contributed to my enjoyment of the platform.

Thank you for saying that last sentence <3. Means a lot - especially since change does make me a little nervous.
