I started this newsletter in 2011 to send out occasional updates from my travels – usually those were very occasional, like once every six months. The subscriber list grew to nearly 60,000 readers over the next 10 years. I was using a different service at the time and was paying a lot of money each month for a service I rarely used. I moved over to Substack nearly two years ago and completely started over. I’ve been more consistent with this new set up and have enjoyed the community aspect. But I wanted to be more structured as well, so here we go.
Well finally. I will encourage you to write that book. Doesn't have to be lengthy - just start somewhere.
BTW. I get lots and lots of posts on Facebook of people requesting suggestions of where to visit and tours of Italy. I give them my ideas and an expose of favourite tour Director - The Catholic Traveler and glowing description of him.... God bless you Mountain and the family
Mountain do you have any reflections on why you have been so successful at growing newsletters? Growing to a five-figure follower count twice is incredibly impressive!
Aside from regularly releasing high-quality writing, which you clearly do, are there any particular actions, habits, or strategies that have been instrumental for you?
