Yeah I still write and edit my notes by hand most of the time, but at least I know what’s working.

How do you scrap Substack without being blocked by the system?

That’s a good question. You need a way to rotate your IPs to keep it simple.

This is solid. Interesting how your best posts weren’t opinions, but moments.

Glad it resonated with you. Yeah I just noticed that honesty always outperforms bold claims or generic advice.

The 80/20 split is the most honest and most useful thing in this piece. The automation is 20% of what makes it work. The framework document it reads is the other 80. Most people reach for the tool first and wonder why the output feels hollow, and the answer is always the same, there was nothing real to compare against.

The insight about story openings outperforming opinionated ones is worth more than the technical setup. Something went sideways, I kept going, no moral attached, 3x average. The data doesn't care how confident the opener sounds. It cares whether someone stops scrolling.

Glad it resonated with you. Yeah the automation side of things is only a small part of a successful automation. Usually data counts more than anything else.
