I post once a week, on Friday, to everyone and once or twice a month, usually on a Wedneday, I post an ebook or something for my paid subscribers. Once a week on Friday seemed manageable but having one of those posts being only for paid subscribers ... well it seems to work best to do a separate post for paying subscribers. I'm doing what works within my own schedule and so far it seems to work for my readers too!
Thanks so much for the mention! I used to be a 3 times a week poster over on Instagram, but after a while it got too tiresome, so I switched to 1 day a week here on Substack. It's all about being willing to experiment and figure out where you're comfortable. And thanks for the nice list of Substacks that I can now explore 😁
Thanks, Erica! I publish non-fic on Mondays and fiction on Fridays, though the time of day varies so it's possible that time zone shenanigans tips it over onto other days sometimes for you.
I landed on this pattern mainly because it was what I could manage. I've always done weekly fiction and wouldn't want to go faster or slower, and 1 non-fic per week is the limit of my capacity for that.
My particular cadence is more to do with my writing preferences than audience considerations, TBH! :)

Thanks for the shoutout! And especially thanks for introducing me to other, terrific Substacks.
