What do you think about my newsletter?
Hello all,
I recently launched a newsletter that features summaries of books recommended by the best in the world at business, tech, etc. Yesterday I published my first post on Atomic Habits (focussing on mainstream books first and would narrow down eventually).
I'd love to get your feedback on my post, as well as any other comments you might have.
I agree with @AndrewKamphey. I also really enjoy the little blockquote snippets throughout. especially - "You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.". They are very tweetable, so take what @AndrewKamphey said and make those little bites of insight shareable! Good work!
Thank you @SamShore

Use this to make the tweets: make them quotes or something fun that ppl actually would want to share. https://tech.cymi.org/tweet-intents
This is great advice, thank you. I'll add this to next week's newsletter!
Hey Karan. Do you want this to grow? Make it stand out? Hopefully yes 😄
I think you shouldn't use Substack if you want your newsletter stand out. Having a custom theme instead of the default layout substack gives you. If you are looking for some options, here is a good list:
For more content: https://gum.co/eiWEdR
For a simple message: https://gum.co/jWqzZ
For a more elegant approach: https://gum.co/jofXTx
For a modern and simple approach: https://gum.co/CqlLdt
I think choosing an HTML theme from above will save you lots of time and gain more attention. I would personally choose the first one on the list (Lightning Blue News)
