Your point about people being confused about what Substack and that being the block has been very true for my current followers. I will def find a different CTA for my stories.
I’ve saved this to read over the holidays. I’ve been telling myself I’ll ‘get back to Insta’ soon, psyching myself up for avalanches of adverts and selfies 🤪
This seems like a sensible decision 😆 Unfortunately I can't offer you anything that will stop the ads BUT make sure you interact with what you *want* to see/ read, and the algorithm will send you more of that, and fewer selfies. The algorithms are guilty of putting us in bubbles, but there are upsides to that as well.

Are you really sure you want to?
I mean, yes, I do. And I imagine the reason most people are reading it is because they do to. Is there something wrong with that?
There’s nothing wrong with it in principle but I wonder if the people who love your IG will be people who will get the Substack vibe.
Also, it’s one thing to follow someone freely on IG but quite another to dip a hand into a pocket for a paid subscription.
I’ve also found a very high proportion of bots on IG.
As always I’m happy to be wrong and educated.
Thank you! Putting this into my January action plan 👍🏻
You're very welcome! So pleased you found it useful ❤️
