Congrats on reaching the “Terrible Twos”; I’m looking forward to seeing where things go next. Coincidentally another Substack writer I follow announced today that his is so successful he’s given up his day job to invest in it full time. Clearly there is a demand out there for content delivered in emails (or, more elegantly, through the Substack app – which is where I read all the content from this platform). I’m sure web has advantages but, as you say, Substack has advantages too. It’s going to interesting to see where it all goes in the long run.
Well done Tim. I know some of that journey. Congrats.
Congratulations! It’s been excellent to see how the newsletter has grown. I also appreciate your transparency in numbers and the different approaches you’re trying.
TimBot: All my dreams/nightmares come true. At least you’ll have someone to blame for typos.
Huge congrats Tim. I recall the early Mumbrella days and how disruptive you and the team were back then. Unmade has quickly become my go-to long read because I always something. Thanks for doing it all over again.
