Just joined Bluesky. What's the next step? Can anyone help with a complete beginner's guide?

Please can anyone help with a complete step-by-step beginner's guide?

Full disclosure: heard Bluesky was helpful for newsletter creators.

And I have my own free newsletter

Just joined Bluesky but I don't want the usual "follow-for-follow" drama from X

Will prefer to build real connections and hopeful gain new subscribers naturally.

Would greatly appreciate if you can point me to any helpful resources.

Thanks

Just made my first public LinkedIn post in decades. Now what's next? Help!

How do you promote on LinkedIn without the usual "guru" or "celebrity" vibe?

Been avoiding public posts on LinkedIn since I joined almost 20 years ago. (That was way before LinkedIn started feeling more and more like Facebook.) I have over 3200 connections, and I must have sent hundreds of DMs over the years.

Fast forward to today, I now have a newsletter. And a sizeable number of the people who viewed last week's edition came from LinkedIn

GULP!

The stats don't lie, right?

Finally made my first public LinkedIn post today. (Would have linked it here but not sure whether that would be flagged as self-promotion)

It was an excerpt from one of my newsletters, with a soft plug for the newsletter at the very end.

The question now is: what next?

Would greatly appreciate any guide on promoting on LinkedIn without being a "guru" or having to post pics of myself and whatever I may be doing at the time

Free promo for your brand

If you love reading books and sharing, would love to share your story with my readers - for free.

I write a newsletter about how smart people use ideas from books to improve their lives and careers.

Here's an example of what it looks like

It's a fun way to share what you know and connect with new people.

Would you like to be in the newsletter? Let me know and I will send you a few quick questions.

Thank you

Weekly reflection... & Share what you’re building

Before you share anything, please answer this:

What did you learn about yourself this week?

Then, feel free to share:

  • Something you’re building
  • A resource that helped you
  • A project you want feedback on

Please keep it simple. Thanks

Who is successfully promoting their newsletter on Reddit alone?

Reddit is the social media platform I'm most comfortable with.

Since starting my newsletter in April, there are several suggestions - even from Substack's marketing - to promote on platforms like Instagram and LinkedIn.

Just to give you an idea, my LinkedIn has over 3200 connections. But I have never posted there even once. (Have probably sent hundreds of DMs there, though)

Here's my point:

Aren't there people who are successfully promoting their newsletters using Reddit alone?

Or at least without the more dramatic platforms like LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, etc?

Who do I report to? Noticed I was signed up to subs I never joined

Please who do I report this to?

Woke up today to notice weird posts in my feed (even some pornographic)

Then to my horror, saw that I'd been signed up - without my consent - to the following subs:

r/GymGainsHub

r/cctxr4r

r/SecurityCamera

r/ProductManagementJobs

r/homeassistant

r/FitGirlRepack

r/TotalMarketCycles

r/LivestreamFail

r/Appliances

r/AirForce

P.S. They seem to be increasing even as I leave them. Is there some sort of glitch?

More have just been added:

r/RepTime

r/expats

r/Denmark ...

How do you see the emails of your subscribers on Substack?

Apart from the email notifications I get when people subscribe, can't seem to see their actual emails on the dashboard

When I use the URL https://substack.com/@[username]/subscribers all I see are the subscribers who have Substack accounts and the followers

If it's so difficult to see my subs' emails, how do I export the emails like I hear it's so easy to do on Substack?

Would greatly appreciate any specific guide. Thanks

Synopsis:
I untangle book ideas into simple business habits.

My first issue covers how an $18,000 typo proves you need "fresh eyes" on your work. I focus on building deeper friendships and better routines without the "guru" vibes.

To keep the newsletter free, I also barter my marketing skills for your expertise instead of charging cash. It is a simple guide to growing through trades.

Who it is for:
Entrepreneurs and creators who want to grow through simple habits and honest bartering.

Genre: Newsletter/Self-Help/Business
