New Hero Post

What is a hero post?

It sounds great, doesn’t it? Who doesn’t want to be the hero? But it’s not exactly what it sounds like. It currently is the term for a post that sits prominently at the top of one’s Substack site, preferably with a photo of the writer depending on the subject matter that one writes about. It’s an invite of sorts for potential readers to get to know you and what your Substack is about, and hopefully decide to subscribe. Data shows that these posts are definitely helpful for writers hoping to grow their readership.

As I mentioned in a previous post, I’ve enjoyed working with

Sarah Fay

learning ways in which I can improve my site, especially the technicalities, which typically can leave me banging my head against the table. After only two meetings, Sarah has helped a great deal. I’m working on aspects of Substack that most of you, my readers, will likely never see since you are already subscribed and read my posts in your email as opposed to my Substack website.

I thought it would be fun to share my hero post with you, since some of you may not actually know my history and how I ended up writing here on Substack.

Also, if you’d like a tour of my page, when you’ve finished reading the hero post, click the Tales of a Wayward Yogini (in green) at the top of the screen and it will take you to my site. You’d be surprised how many decisions need to be made just on that page alone, editorial or magazine style, colors, fonts, groups, creating the About page, etc. I’m getting the better of it though, with only a few more things I plan to change… for now.

So without further ado, start here!

And if you’ve got any feedback, positive or constructive, I’m all 👂🏻👂🏻👂🏻!
