Casey, this is fantastic. I'm a big Kevin Kelly fan and read his Recomendo.com newsletter weekly. Would love to see you start a newsletter about how to successfully start a Substack newsletter.
Hello Casey, I like you spin on 1000 True Fans. It's about 12 years since Kevin Kelly wrote that blog post and it still holds true today. You'd however agree that it's far easier for someone in the US to acquire 1000 true fans than someone say in Nepal, Ghana, or Indonesia. I believe the environment, technology infrastructure, openness of society, level of education, purchasing power, and many other factors all come to play. Despite its universal applicability, the man in Kathmandu may have to work 1000 times more than the man in Boise to achieve the same result.

I'm hoping to cover this topic in Blogging Guide. Thanks for the feedback!
Classic essay. Thanks for the reminder, Casey!
