Hi Jerry!! Another great article!! While I ABSOLUTELY, TOTALLY agree, and I’ve followed Finn since he first started with this, here’s my dilemma.

At first you had to leave your computer always on. I only get out my laptop when I have to.

This version of his wonderful product does not require that except, I think, if you’re going to use it for bulk scheduling notes.

I hate trying to dive into new technology. I KNOW I should do this but it makes me literally shake in my, well, flip flops.

That being said, I have to get out my computer tomorrow, so maybe I will give it a try.

I would think that many 60+ers feel similarly. And I consider myself tech savvy.

Thanks, Marylee. I hear you on the tech overwhelm—that's totally normal, especially when you're already doing so much.

Yes, you need Chrome open to use the tool. But here's the thing—just posting Notes is only part of the equation. What really drives visibility is the social media aspect: commenting, liking, and restacking.

Every platform's algorithm works slightly differently, but they all reward interaction. Without engaging with others, posting Notes is like throwing spaghetti at the wall—it might stick, it might not. What really matters is how people react to your posts. That's how the algorithm determines value—not by what you think is valuable, but by how others engage with it.

I love Finn's Substack Pro Studio because it takes the guesswork out. The data shows you what's actually working based on real interactions. That's priceless when you're trying to grow.
