Share a post you're proud of
Jump into this month's CollabLite opportunity in the comments!
Welcome back to our monthly “CollabLite”! I send these every second Monday of the month, and they give us an opportunity to support one another in the collaborative spirit (without having to do a big collaborative project, hence why it is called CollabLite).
In the comments below, I invite you to share a long-form post so we can amplify it and get inspired by your work! While we often see threads to promote our Notes, I created this because our longer posts deserve as much love as our Notes do.
How to Participate
Find a post (recent or deep in your archive) that you are proud of and perhaps wish had gotten more engagement.
Head into the comments and share with us:
The topic of the post (Keep it simple for easy scanning—perhaps 3-4 words)
Who could benefit from reading this post
A link to the post
Browse the comments from other writers until you find a post that intrigues you. Read it.
Engage with the post. You could:
Like or comment on the post
Restack it, sharing an insight you took away from the piece
Consider cross-posting it to your own publication
You can do this with as many posts as you’d like. If you’re inspired by several of them, go for it!
(Note: While replying to the author here in the comments is great, we want to amplify each other’s voices, so try to also write it as a Note with a restack of the author’s post.)
Reminder: Holiday Collaboration Challenge
Don’t forget about our special Holiday Collaboration Challenge! I invite you all to come and pitch your best holiday collaboration ideas to one another, and find someone who is a good fit for you. This could be guest posts, Substack Lives, podcast interviews, co-written projects or even workshops. Jump into the comments section on the post linked below to participate:
Help Me Spread the Word
I’m looking for folks who can be ambassadors and help me share CollabStack and the holiday challenge with more writers in the Substack Universe. In exchange, you’d receive a comp subscription to CollabStack Premium. You can do this for three or six months. Send me a DM or email me for more details!
More Opportunities to Connect
Hi, I’m Marcy Farrey (pronounced Fairy 🧚♀️ ), and I’m on a mission to help others connect and collaborate in meaningful ways here on Substack. Consider me your Farrey 🧚♀️ Godmother of Collaboration!
If you love CollabStack, it would mean so much to me if you shared CollabStack so more people can participate. This will help our little community grow. Thank you for your support!
Love this, Marcy! Here's mine (it's a super simple way to bring more joy into your life): https://chloemarkham.substack.com/p/the-joy-audit
Although I wrote it earlier this year, this piece on joy as an act of resistance and antidote to despair seems even more relevant now. ✨
