Great News: We Just Hit #13 on Substack’s Rising News Rankings

I wasn’t expecting this honor, but I’ll take it — and it’s because of you.

Hi Everyone!

You're receiving this post as one of my Substack subscribers—paid or free—because I wanted to share some good news I received this morning:

Thanks to your readership, shares, and subscriptions, Ray Hartmann’s Soapbox just hit #13 on Substack’s Rising News list.

It’s a surprise. And a real honor.

Here’s what that looks like:

I’m reasonably certain Jim Acosta isn’t shaking in his boots. And the only part of this I find troubling is having my name included on the same list as Michael Flynn, in any context. Also, I’m good with #13 as a lucky number in this case.

I cannot thank you enough for making my early success possible. So, please keep reading, liking, commenting upon, sharing and re-stacking my work. That’s what makes the ranking possible.

• If you’re already a paid subscriber, this is your win.

• If you’re reading for free, I’d be grateful if you chose this moment to upgrade to becoming a paid subscriber. It’s the only way to read my weekly Sunday Reflection piece that has been getting some nice feedback. And I’m planning a regular paid-subscribers-only Zoom feature soon. And you’ll be making this all possible.
