I agree :) I have written 6 posts about effective giving during the past year on Substack. And the latest one, which also got the most views relatively (still only around 100), was about my personal donations in 2025.
Also, consider writing in your native or local language! Example: As far as I know, there are <10 people (or organisations) who have ever written about effective giving in Finnish, and I’m the only one doing it semi-consistently. Most people in my target audience in Finland are essentially fluent in English, but many prefer reading in Finnish if they can, as it might be faster and easier to connect. I’m also not writing anything particularly novel, so few EAs miss out on anything. But my content could be a way to spark the initial curiosity, so that people get the motivation to read more in English (in which there’s a lot more content that I often reference in my posts).
