Recorded an hour and a half with Bob McGinn. He goes (very) hard in the paint on everything: his series, 40-yd dash, anonymous scouts, film-junkie discourse, MOCKS, the Wonderlic, 2025 QB class, your questions.

🧠 I’m celebrating that I’ve almost reached 500 subscribers, up from 191 just 6 weeks ago! 🥳 I’ve had two New York Times best-selling authors subscribe to read my writing, and I’ve gotten three new recommendations. All through engaging with the Substack platform!
I’m writing an article about what’s worked for me. If you’d like to receive it in your inbox, you can subscribe at lizexplores.com, where I share stories from my life about infertility, mental health, and adventure. I’m not a writing coach; I just want to answer the questions people have been asking me and help fellow newbies!
For context, I started my Substack in December 2022 with zero audience and zero publications to my name, so the perspective I offer is one of starting from scratch and writing for the sake of writing. I don’t sell anything to my audience other than my writing itself, with a handful of paywalled posts that are personal in nature. Most of my work, including the article I’m working on now, is free.
Liz, I would love to hear your advice about growing audience when you're writing about a topic that is difficult and often runs counter to cultural norms. I write about detoxing from diet culture and embracing intuitive eating at almostsated.com.
In some ways, Kristi, I think it is easier to distinguish yourself as a writer when you have a topic or a perspective that not everyone else is sharing. I would say keep doing what you’re doing, and your people will find you! 😄
I agree with you and think finding your niche is so important. I just think there is a larger emotional toll that comes with putting your stake in the ground with a topic that isn’t well accepted.
I think you’re right, but it’s also that difficulty that will draw people to your writing, because it’s something that others aren’t willing to talk about.
I'd love to hear your journey, I'm also beginning from zero point energy...possibilities are infinite, and yet to be discovered, which sounds way more affirming than I haven't published much previously...😆🤷♀️
I love your perspective, Amaya! Here’s to infinite possibilities. 😉
I published my first note this morning, after dithering for weeks and months about it...just a short, simple, off the cuff piece, sometimes we just need to BEGIN..so I did....you gave me my first like, when I chickened our a few weeks ago and just wrote Coming Soon...your little red heart at the bottom of that was a tiny package of goodwill and encouragement, so thank you. Substack feels like a safe place, literally, all because of that tiny heart you left and I'm sure forgot about. A reminder …
Congrats!
Thank you so much, Kathryn! 🎉
Thank you for your suggestions! Like many others here I am just starting out, a mixture of I can do this too and who do I think I am. I admit I'm writing to inspire minds, to reconsider our decisions with a look-see to where they might lead. All in all very excited, and very appreciative of this forum!
Welcome to Substack, Noah! All the emotions you described are completely normal. Keep writing and you will find your rhythm and your readers! 😄
That's fabulous, Liz. Congrats. Appreciate you sharing your experience. Helps us all gain perspective as we take this journey.
Thank you so much, David!
Congrats Liz -- I started about a year ago too... There have been some really fun ups, and some really (not fun but instructive) downs. Looking forward to hearing about yours!!
Thanks, Joey! Now I’m curious to hear your story… 😏
Congratulations, Liz!
Thank you so much, Deanna! I see that you live in the NEK. Whereabouts?
Greetings Liz, I live in Saint Johnsbury, VT
Thanks for sharing Liz! Your story is encouraging. I'm also starting from zero and really looking forward to growing my audience in 2024.
Thank you, Colleen! We are all very lucky that Substack makes this kind of growth possible for new writers. 😁
Finally finished! This blanket took over 200 hours to crochet. The pattern is based on an old Welsh design - a little bit of home in Portugal.
