DOWN FROM 2500 SUBSCRIBERS A YEAR AGO. People do not like my Substack blog. I like my Substack. I think that the people who join from Substack have seen my comments on political matters and are disappointed that I'm writing about Anarres Natural Health matters and products I make. Meanwhile, the people who liked my long illustrated emailed newsletters are mystified by Substack and double-subscribe, ending up with every little post in their inbox, then unsubscribing entirely.
Regardless, I am utterly unwilling to go back to the paid subscription to Constant Contact, where writing the newsletter took days and involved creating layers of backlinks on a crumbling, glitchy template.
Oy vey! and oh well! Here is my Substack. It's not terrible. It's a good way to find out more about the things I make as I make them. It's a good place to learn about natural botanical ingredients and how they work on humans. I WELCOME comments. Please ask questions. I'll answer them. It's like free advice, because it is!
I am a Certified Natural Health Practitioner, and I offer handmade natural cosmetics, aromatherapy, and cosmetic-making supplies. Click to read Tracey TieF's Anarres Natural Health, a Substack publication with thousands of subscribers.
