Turning founder anecdotes into an illustrated guide: need advice on distribution
I've collected over fifty stories and sketched accompanying art. How do you recommend sharing this without coming off as self-promotional?

Medium serialization of my visual essays found readers over time.

Seriously, medium serialization is a slow grind that pays off. Nathan_jenkins has sharp ideas for immediate reach. Syndication to newsletters jumps the line. But those visual essays need time to simmer. Loyal readers find you through consistent posting. Blending both strategies covers all bases.

Honestly, what if you syndicated the individual stories and art to niche industry newsletters that already curate founder content, letting them introduce your work to their built-in audiences? Tbh, releasing the illustrations standalone on platforms like Dribbble with a subtle link to the full guide can drive interest without feeling like an ad. Ngl, another overlooked angle is packaging segments as free resources for startup accelerators, who constantly need relatable case studies for their cohorts. You could even partner with local co-working spaces to host a physical exhibit, creating a real-world event that naturally fuels online discussion and shares.
