Yup! It gets easier over time if you build a flywheel instead of a pump, though. https://www.theauthorstack.com/p/setting-up-your-direct-sales-environment

So much to think about here! I was particularly struck by what you said about writing not being hard (it’s what we love to do), but rather promoting our writing being hard. I totally resonate with that: basically no one read my work before I got the Substack app and started actually connecting with others and sharing my work with them 🙈 but I do find it is much harder than the writing part!

I believe the best stuff should be free and also the best stuff should be behind the paywall, which seems illogical but I think somehow is how it works here :)
