Totally new user Allison K Williams (your cohost) is getting her feet wet by writing short essays and interacting in Notes. And experienced Substacker Lindsey DeLoach Jones will share her guidance on who Substack is good for and why\, how much time it takes\, and best ways to use Substack Notes to build platform.  \n\n\n\nIf you’ve been considering a Substack–or even a regular newsletter!–this episode’s for you.
