After using Substack as my overseas content base, I’ve published a newsletter for four straight days, and I still have a new one ready to send tonight. I suddenly realized that I really like the old-fashioned format of newsletters.
-
Newsletters are a rebellion against algorithms and platforms. On most platforms, whether you can see a piece of content depends on whether the algorithm wants you to see it. A newsletter represents certainty. As long as you subscribe, once it updates, it will definitely appear in your inbox.
-
Newsletters offer a private reading experience. Email is a relatively “private” and “quiet” space. You can immerse yourself in reading a long piece at a time of your choosing, without interference from algorithmic recommendations. This experience is more like “reading” than “refreshing.”
-
A newsletter is “yours.” It’s an email. Once it arrives in your inbox, it naturally belongs to you. The platform no longer has the right to interfere. And for creators, Email list is everything! An email list is the most valuable digital asset you can take with you. By contrast, on those social media platforms, no matter how many followers you have, they are not yours!
