First, here at Midstack, we plan to have monthly informal Meet and Greets over Zoom. These are times when you can share what you’re doing on Substack with other midlife writers, ask questions, and find collaborators.
We’ll devote the whole time to a casual conversation and to hearing from you about your Substacks.
Our first one is this Wednesday October 16th at 1 p.m Eastern. Sign up here to get a Zoom link and to be emailed a recording if you can’t attend live.
It’s Friday!
Tell us about one good thing that happened to you on Substack this week.
Maybe you:
received a thoughtful comment on a post that stuck with you all day
gained your first paid or unpaid subscriber
found another Substack that you love
connected with another midlife writer
published a post that you are especially proud of
figured out how to do something new on Substack
realized something important about your goals on Substack
It’s easy to get stuck on what we still need to do (supposedly) to make our Substack better or more popular. As midlife women, I think we can be particularly hard on ourselves.
Once in awhile it’s important to share your small wins and have others who get it cheer you on.
Tell us below about a win on Substack.
➡️ P.S. We’ve added a bunch more Substacks to our Midstack Directory. We’re now up to 200 publications by and for midlife women! See the updated library HERE. We’d love for you to share the directory in your own Notes, posts, and newsletters.
I just discovered Substack a few days and yesterday I published my first post.
I've been looking for a community of midlife women for over 2 years. I just happened upon Substack, I believe it was a doctor talking about perimenopause, and that's when my whole world opened up. Midstack was the 2nd publication I found and I'm so thankful that I found this community.
Thank you for all you do for the middle aged peeps!
I got a comment that said, in part, "keep writing."
