I have created folders in my main (private) Obsidian vault called Lifelong Learners and MakingHistory. I'm going to gradually shift content into these vaults that I think is ready for others to see, and publish those folders. These will not be places that I put my personal stuff, but it may be where I test out content that will go into publications. I have obviously become less enthused over time with the efficacy of Substack to be anything but a newsstand for whatever is most current. I'll probably continue to post new stuff on a fairly regular basis (I’ll announce a posting schedule at some point). But I don't think I'm going to maintain a big archive. Contributors will get access to the published Obsidian vaults, instead of me just paywalling everything over a month old on Substack. There they’ll be able to interact with linked information in a way they can’t on Substack.
Should be interesting to see your LLL and MH Obsidian folders evolve. I assume that "open garage door" means we can be looking over your shoulder, even while you may not have published to Substack some parts yet, and that you are inviting us to observe.
So, would be helpful to keep the link prominent in your posts (I've got it saved, both in my Obsidian and in TheBrain).
But, if you want to use that content as some sort of paywall, then of course, you wouldn't, and would only inform your paying supporters somehow.
The experiences (and data) of writers as they explore various outlets for their work in a context of their differing motivations seems helpful. These outlets seldom provide useful information on the revenue and experiences of "typical" authors.
