Holy shit I think I just cracked the code of why people think you can't sell things on Tumbir I was reading one of the Substacks I subscribe talking about how they promote their publication and their various sources of traffic, when I came across this paragraph: I've also quickly learned where my content is doing best and where it's doing the worst. In terms of engagement, Bluesky and Tumblr are where I'm getting the most native sharing But Bluesky and Tumblr users don't click And even worse for poor old Tumble, trying to flip a Garage Day post into a Tumblr post that will do well takes way too much time and effort for me to keep up with it. And, while it's nice that Bluesky users like what I'm doing, at least, in theory, they don't click and even fewer signs According to my stats, only one Bluesky user ever has paid for a subscription and, apparents not one single user on Tumblr has ever clicked over to Garbage Day, even on posts at me with thousands of ones. Now I happen to also run a fairly popular Substack (about gay vampires). One whose readers are almost entirely Tumblr users. And Tumblr clicks have just never shown up in thy stats, I'm used to it. Naturally I had to comment: 9th Starting This is all super useful as another creator trying to wrap my head around the direction the internet is going Butt to her same useful into in exchange I think it's posible your Tumblr stats might be unavalible? Since m Tumblr for one Substack of about 3700 subscribors, aimust antaly Tum Tumwollteste 99% Tum insers Acconting ta Sulistack though I have had exactly one Tumblr click through ever This cannet prosily be true for a fact my subscribers are conting via Tumse and interact with thes on there all the time I think shaliner tracking Substack uses might not wurk on funt OLINE GREPLY Jack thew I might know part of why both of you wer seeing any traffic/si By default, every external line on Tumbir gets through trafa thich hides rare formation. So whatever service young to track The came from Tune it just comes through as Unassigned Asan the ins from the Tussa post on M. Beast looks like this: htt www.dv.mabeast chanc It's not just Substack's tracking that doesn't work on here. NO tracking works on here. Tumber is just one of the last platforms left that completely obscures its users' data! That's why there's this persistent myth that you can't advertise on Tumbh. It's not that you can't sell things here, it's that you can't use the invasive methods that are standard everywhere elseALT
