That’s why I recently started a separate blog on my own site. Taking it slow and following my gut :) Thanks for this post!

Yay rooting for you Andi! One thing doesn’t have to exclude the other - it’s about finding ways of integrating the tools and systems so they serve us 🥰

Having put so little effort into building my own audience, I really don't have much knowledge around the best way to do it. But I do wonder how easy it is (or would have been for those who started early in the social media days) to build a big email list without using social media in the first place? I remember reading about Portland artist Lisa Congdon wanting to get away from social media but it seemed like she had successfully used it to grow her email list and audience for years. How do you advertise you have a newsletter without social media?
