I have some similar thoughts. Tried various things including podcast, newsletter (still have it) and blogging (still do), besides Twitter and Linkedin. Content distribution doesn't really work. And eventually I found what I want: writing more is the fun part. These days, I'm also thinking to write every day but publish when I have something valuable and good and distribute across different platforms according to their own strategies. This might work but it's totally against the strategy (and recommendations) of learning writing and getting feedback (by publishing). Think Derek Sivers or David Perell. I know they write every day but not publish regularly. My survivorship bias may be talking here but there are also tons of other people on the other end of spectrum.
For sure. I've been experimenting with ideas for a while because I too believe in not charging for just content (not saying nobody should but I wish to make my stuff available to all).
With Data-led Academy, I found a great partner in Amplitude who helped spread the message further and I was able to reward myself for the efforts.
With Data Beats, I am planning on offering super niche productized services to a subset of my entire audience that is unlikely to find something similar elsewhere. I want to offer something super valuable to one of my audiences rather than something generic for all of them.

This resonates a lot, we're in similar shoes.
any advice / ideas?
