🗓️ ESCAPE POD SCHEDULE: FEB 23-MAR 1

On Monday’s Substack Live, I talked about lots of stuff, like putting the bulk of my work on my own site, and then when it comes time to send a newsletter, I never have a shortage of ideas to pull from. Something to consider with your own website, maybe?
On Wednesday, I had a conversation with label owner Michael Gilbride about the economics of leaving streaming platforms, why physical mail might be making a comeback, and how musicians need to think about learning business skills – woah boy!
On our Thursday call, we talked about Polymarket becoming a big thing on Substack, making promo stickers, the challenges of finding places to post our flyers, getting people from social media to subscribe to our newsletters, and lots more.
Then on this morning’s MINI ESCAPE POD Q&A we talked about the SEO game with Substack and our own websites. If people are searching for your specific project name (“Social Media Escape Club”), Google will usually surface it without big time optimization.
NEXT WEEK:
Come out and hang out on a call with us. We’re a bunch of artists, writers, musicians, photographers, poets, radio hosts, and everything else you could imagine.
◾ CO-WORK ESCAPE POD
“Just a lovely space to hang out,” said a recent attendee! Come and work on your website, write your next newsletter, clean up your desktop – working together is fun!

◾ FOCUS ESCAPE POD: LET’S BREAK UP WITH GMAIL
Real stories from some people who left Gmail (and Google) and discovered their work, relationships, and inboxes were just fine!
