An excellent complication of notes strategy. As journalist I always appreciate the research you do to support the suggestions you provide.

The thing I'm curious about is if notes actually work for people who don't write newsletters about how to write (or market/brand/sell yourself). Essentially, Substack is a platform for writers, but if you're not writing for writers, but (in my case) triathletes, or history buffs, fashion mavens, photographers, or fiction lovers, can the notes strategy be that useful?

I'm not sure. I have gained new followers from notes, but it doesn't seem like it's where the majority of what I would consider to be (my core readers) hang out.

It took me 1 hour to read but it is highly useful for anyone wants to:

1. Figure out the algorithm.

2. Focus on the 20% that drives results.

3. Take the effective marketing approach.

4. Know the type of content thrives on Substack

5. Write on internet for full time.

Which thing you like most about Substack? Tell me.
