A technical aspect: if we just upload them we must be aware that those people didn‘t opt in into our Substack list. And that backfires on deliverability.
Fully agree - especially those who don‘t know Substack as vehicle won‘t convert easily. Yesterday I showed Substack to a LinkedIn contact in a coffee meeting - much better as I believe the platform works for her (and thanks for becoming a paid member!).
I have a few emails from my Kit newsletter... I don't know if I should import those or not ..
you can technically, just keep in mind these things. I still believe organic growth is much much better

yes, some drop out during the process, I forgot to also mention that. Good point!

LinkedIn can help a lot - a great source of people to move over. I‘m writing an article about that at the moment.
Oh great, I’ll take a look!
yes, I keep seeing how LinkedIn can help us grow here, I'm still thinking how to utilize this...
I'm just finding my feet about everything on Substack and haven't imported any subscribers yet.
Maybe it's better this way :)
