Then, I also brought it to my blog. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I moved off Substack because it was living alongside other posts I had. It felt weird to share my call for podcasts alongside my whims and reflections. I was also reluctant to use Substack. I\u2019ve written about that extensively already, so I\u2019ll save you the energy of reading that again.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I brought it to my blog because I was excited to have that feature live on my page, highlighting my podcast service. As I was posting, it seemed to be going well, but it started not to feel right.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, I wasn\u2019t a fan of leaving up the details for all to read all the time. I worried that site scrapers or someone else could just come along and re-copy my posts or something. And who knows if a podcaster really wants their call for guests up all the time for people to just pitch them whenever?<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plus, I came to realize there weren\u2019t many reasons for people to follow my blog. It\u2019s up, live all the time\u2026why follow me?<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So I made the decision to move. I can\u2019t say my decision had no transactional goals attached to it whatsoever. It\u2019s a lot of work to put these listings together, and sure, it\u2019d be nice to get compensation for it in some way. But I didn\u2019t want that to be a requirement. I still wanted people to benefit from my listings without having to pay or sign up. I couldn\u2019t figure out a way to make it all work.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There were also SEO concerns. No one would assume this site would have anything to do with podcasting at first glance at the link. I wanted something that could potentially rank higher. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, I made the call to bring it back to Substack. I have now created a completely new newsletter, <a href=\"https:\/\/podcastguestopportunities.substack.com\/\">Podcast Guest Opportunities<\/a>. Available for you to follow, and I\u2019d love it if you did!<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each Monday issue remains up for the week until the next Sunday. The paywall goes up by that point. If you become a paid subscriber, you have access all the time. And get some other perks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, I\u2019m sorry to confuse everyone. I wanted to make this go as smoothly as possible. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thank you all for joining me!<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019ve followed me for some time, you may remember that at one point I shared a call for podcasts on Substack.
