Thank you for this perspective. Appreciate this insight and these suggestions!

I think for you it works, Wes, because you’re selling something people want - how to grow on Substack. I have nothing to offer except my writing. I do notes most days and restack other articles, I engage in comment sections and I do get followers and subscribers. But it is slower and nowhere near 20-30 a day. Maybe one or two.

People from every single niche are growing with Notes. If you believe it doesn’t work for you, it won’t.

I'm not sure that is really true - it is not belief, it is a fact. It's easy to blame me by saying I'm not positive enough, or I don't believe hard enough. This is how it works for me. I follow the formula, I've analyzed my notes, I was consistent up until we travelled this summer. I just don't get 20-30 a day.

A post i actually red... out of my 100+ subscriptions. Proof that writing for the intended audience and their pain point still works That being said, you've been at this for a lot longer than me, and the algorithm has learned who to surface your content to.
