New Substacker Enjoying the Experience

I’ve been on Substack for a few months. I love the writing experience and meeting so many likeminded maverick home and school educators. I’m enjoying reading helpful articles and connecting with new and old friends. I just reconnected with my first online coach!

Thank you for a great onboarding and fun experience. I’m looking forward to growing old here.

Great info hub

I use the Substack App everyday for reading and listening to content of those I subscribe to. The recommendations for additional authors is often helpful and in my interest-zone.

Substack is awesome!

Substack is a place where I spend a great part of my day: I read, I write, I learn, hopefully I teach, and I make a little money to boot.

I highly recommend the Common Sense Substack by George Shay.
