Elin, I think others already said it: the link doesn't work on the app. It redirects me to your home page newsletter. But it did work on the laptop. :)

Yes I heard it! It’s very peculiar I’ve tried to see if there’s anything I can do on my end… trying to contact Substack - maybe it’s a technical issue as it’s a new feature?

Thanks for checking it out Monica ❤️

Thanks Patrick!! I have closed the computer because I just keep checking the responses haha will give it about a week I think and then write up the summary and make some charts. You might be surprised by some…. Or at least I am so far! Would you like me to tag you for the final?

Yes, please tag me. To the extent that your research is generalizable, I think it's something all writers can use. I'll be keen to compare what I think to what other people think; I want to see these surprises.

Noted!

Ps. What’s the question you’re most curious about? (And which perhaps would have the biggest impact on your own offerings?)

Let's see... maybe about community. Generally, I want to know if people would pay just for the writing. I don't want to have to offer other things and services to induce people to pay.

Can they subscribe just for the writing?

Great questions. I’m interested in the responses, especially the importance (or not?) of community.

Oh it doesn't work on the app?! That's a bummer! I also just noticed after sending it out... That I cnanot see who answers what, which means I have several who asked me to tag them for the responses and I dont know who to tag....

On the phone it took me from the app to Safari where I had to log in - weird! 🙃

Hm strange indeed! Clearly some technical things that Substack still need to work on 👏

Yeah I edited the question to say that if they want to be notified they need to put their tag in the “other” field…

Ah brilliant!!!

It’s all an experiment isn’t it?! And now I’m starting to question why I had this brilliant idea when I’m so sleep deprived and potentially over sensitive to anything that comes through hahah but hey, it’s part of the game 🪄🥰
