Dear Subscribers,
Earlier today, our chief editor
published the Chapter 17 of his best-selling book Substack Mastery for free for our community. His goal is, while educating our community, to obtain feedback from beta readers to improve the quality of this exceptional book for next versions and make it a valuable tool for our community and beyond.As the editing and curation team of ILLUMINATION publications on Medium and Substack, we found this chapter very helpful and turned it into a short interactive podcast using Google’s NKLM tool for busy people so that they can quickly understand the value and benefits of this important and easy-to-use tool.
Dr Yildiz believes that online polls on Substack might take your newsletters to another level. He posted a sample poll from his Content Strategy, Development, & Marketing Insights newsletters. If you are interested, you may participate in this poll.
