A Great Story, Some Life Lessons and an Analogy -

January 28, 2025

Edited: Feb 19, 2025
I’ve learned a lot since this post was originally written.
Like, notes get posted daily and are short form. Posts are longer form.

And this week, I added a publication and a podcast!

I also learned that my blog posts should be posted in long-form here, too. Not just send out the links. Makes it easier to read them when there’s less steps, right?

Also seems that I need to do a “notes roundup” because they get lost in the algorithms sometimes. That makes sense to me anyway, to put them all together in a post.
I’ve added a “Buy Me Coffee” button too this week.

So if you go back through my previous notes, you’ll read my story. But, I’ll see how I can make them all one note for easier reading.
The Life Lessons are now a Series, I post a lot of those types of blog posts so each one will start with Life Lessons Series and then have the subtitle.
The Analogy? Well, I have to go look that up again, but I think it was how I was trying to figure out paid vs free subscriptions.

Here’s the original post from Jan 28th:

Trying out the differences between posts and notes this week…
This week I’m sharing “Life Lessons from Football” on the blog, www.melissaspage.com/football . (I write a blog post weekly and publish on Thursdays.) Maybe the posts should also be included as a note here? Trying to figure out the best way to share blog content.
This week, Monday-Friday, on the “posts” of Substack, I’m sharing my story.
Not sure if you are seeing that? Still learning how the algorithms work here. If you saw it and read it, please give me a like or a subscribe.
I also wrote an additional post yesterday with an analogy of how I think subscriber’s vs paid subscribers works. Will see how that goes as I use this platform more.
AND, I sent out an email to my first TEN subscribers - did you get it?
THANK YOU THANK YOU! SO encouraging to see that subscriber count go UP!
