I'm so happy to be on the Substack train and that I somewhat a year ago decided to buy one of your courses. It lead me want more and now I am blogging on Substack since a couple of weeks back and eagerly waiting for the Substack Masterclass to start! Yay!
This post sent me down memory lane to the time when social media was fresh and fun.
Together with some colleagues we created a social media course in the form of a treasure hunt.
We wanted to inspire teachers to use different kind of online tools. During those days we signed up for a bunch of cool tools and I even tweeted in real time with Jason Silva 🤩 calling him both a cutie and a smartie.
Well the whole media lost it's spell and for years I have felt something is missing. Now Substack has really created something with the same kind of flavor I think.
This is so encouraging, Carina! I am also happy that you bought a class and have come along for the ride with me too. I love 💕 my students and this cozy community. It means a lot to me! Thank you for being a part.
Really enjoyed this summary of the online world and your own participation through the years. Substack does seem to have more of a gravitational pull than other contenders in the next-gen publishing/blogging space.
Looking forward to the start of the Substack Masterclass next week!
This is inspiring! Thank you for sharing your thoughts so candidly! I’m an artist, illustrator who loves to write and ruminate over nature and beauty through mindfulness. While I’ve made a career of the former two, the latter is really not an area I want to make a career of. For me, it’s important to have a creative outlet that really is meant for play. That said, as a fine art educator for the last 20+ years, the insight I have to share is of value. So it’s lovely to have a platform that has a built in community and the option for people to support if they choose.
Coming from Squarespace where my blog was 🦗 🦗🦗 like hellooooo is this thing on? Haha! Feeback is so important otherwise it can feel lonely out there as an artist.
