Love what you've done here. The outreach templates are brilliant too, just saved them.

The substack limits are interesting - how fast did it take until you ran into them?

Thank you!

When it comes to the limits. I send out 8 or 9 messages in less than 10 minutes.

Then it took me one whole day to be able send DMs again.

That’s a good insight, appreciate that.

So with approx. 1 message/minute we’re too fast.

I’m going to do an experiment next week with this too and will try 1 message/2 minutes. This pace works well on twitter. Let’s see what happens here.

Yes, I would recommend to split messaging throughout the day.

E.g. 5 messages in the morning, 5 messages in the midday, and 5 messages in the evening.

I think that messaging here can be quite more effective.

Substack is relatively small (~35M users comparing Twitter’s 500M users) and without bots so people are more likely to reply.

Because you can be due to this fact for them:

– more trustworthy

– they do not have many messages compared to big platforms.
