I'm still working on finding the right balance, Thaddeus, both in terms of frequency of post and post length. I apply the 'TL;DR' too often to long posts, so assume others do too. In the main, under four minutes is my goal - shorter if possible.

Perhaps there's an argument to say 'short'=free, 'long'=paid. Or that the split should be based on content, style, theme...

Right now I shy away from 'all paid' because of the reduction in engagement, which is what I really want. I dream of reaching as many people as possible - but I'm concerned I'm not giving my paid subscribers enough.

Still trying to figure it out - there is no 'right' answer after all...

Very well said, and I agree. I want to find the right balance in my writing time and projects without crippling my substack impact and growth
