My February recap on Substack
The content of my Journey Jot publication
The content created by my new subscribers
These are my numbers for the month of February
I got 104 new readers in February, which is less than in January, and I know the reason - I haven’t engaged enough and kept it to a minimum. Hopefully I’ll be more present in the rest of March.
I got the first paid reader! Thank you,
!I posted 11 posts in February, I hope 2 a week will stay my average.
My Substacks are now being read in 38 US states (0⬆️ since January) and 50 world countries (6⬆️ since January).
February travel posts
This publication follows the format of a travel blog, with 1 new travel post every weekend. I'm focusing on presenting some overlooked heritage sites in Europe―again, to inspire avid travelers to explore different content and to emphasize the cultural importance of these sites.
Practical tips from February:
Sights from February:
The Theatre and Aqueducts of the Ancient City of Aspendos, Turkey
The Turkish Evil Eye or Nazar: Is It More Than Just a Symbol?

Upgrades I brought to my publications in February:
1) My Sitemap
For all my readers, there’s a sitemap now — you can now have an overview of my travel posts.
2) World Through My Lens: 30-day Challenge
This was a chat challenge for all my readers, intended to connect them and grow together as a community. January 20 - February 22, I posted a new prompt each day in chat, and the response was beyond my expectations.
I’ll definitely do another challenge in April so follow along, and join to become part of an affirmative and open-minded community that loves learning about the world around us!
3) Paid upgrade
I know I started the publication as free, planning to start monetizing eventually. I’m now just testing the waters and will adjust paywalls after two months.
