Thank you for honestly sharing your advice and tips from yourr journey. I find you writing style so refreshingly real. I especially appreciate your comment on how there's no need to "niche" down. I've always hated the push for one niche. Humans are such multi-faceted beings with wide ranges of experiences, how can we pretend to be any ONE thing?!
Thanks, Maryam. This was so encouraging to read. I’m eight months in and growing slowly and steadily. A few months ago, I recognized my niche… apparently, it’s me!
Thank you Maryam! You articulated so well exactly why I started writing on Substack a few short months ago. Congrats and thank you for sharing yourself so courageously and publicly.
Congratulations, Maryam. I’m only about a month into my own Substack journey, and this article felt like encouragement at exactly the right time. Your reminder that there are no shortcuts—just showing up consistently and writing honestly—really resonated with me. Thank you for sharing your first-year lessons, and here’s to an even bigger second year.
Beautifully written, congratulations
Depth isn't just one topic. Depth is one person. I love this description, especially as a generalist !
