I’m so confused. I suppose that’s what you get if you hibernate from all issues public for 2 years, then decide your head up and check out to determine one of the simplest ways to have interaction with the world once more.
When life was easier, I simply posted to my weblog at feld.com. You can subscribe by RSS or electronic mail (by way of MailChimp). It robotically tweeted a hyperlink to the put up.
When Medium grew to become a factor, I used a WordPress plugin to cross-post there till it stopped working. Ultimately, I grew uninterested in having the identical context seem on Google twice – as soon as below my weblog and as soon as below Medium, so I deleted my Medium account since I wasn’t utilizing it for anything.
After I fired all the pieces again up on April twenty first, WordPress now had a LinkedIn cross-poster in-built, however now not had a Twitter possibility. I had deleted all of the social apps from my iPhone once I hibernated, so I downloaded X, LinkedIn, and Jetpack and obtained all the pieces working once more. I additionally realized some new and thrilling issues, similar to how one can use AI to generate a featured picture just like the one on this put up, which, er, has some points …
So, I now have:
I’ve been unsubscribing from Substack spam for 2 years, mysteriously ending up subscribed to newsletters I didn’t need. I used to be interested in how the consumer interface labored, so I arrange a Substack account yesterday. I ran a survey on X and LinkedIn to see if I ought to use my Substack account for content material for Give First: The Energy of Mentorship, together with my weblog.
Pre-hibernation, my engagement on Twitter was 5-10x my engagement on LinkedIn. This has now flipped, and LinkedIn is 2-5x my engagement on X.
True to model in 2025, I’ve limitless electronic mail, iMessage, and Slack. I reinstalled WhatsApp and joined just a few teams. I’m even attempting out Vinly and Whop to see if both is an efficient group system for Give First: The Energy of Mentorship, though I would like to search out time to place some actual effort into each to see if they’re helpful.
I’m not fully positive what I need to do at this level, so, like many different issues in life, I’m figuring it out by taking part in round with stuff and gathering suggestions alongside the best way.
