I really appreciate your insights and your empathy when writing. This part really made me feel a little less anxious about Notes and Substack visibility in general: "Stop writing Notes to be liked. Write the thing only you could have written."
One insight that really stayed with me was your distinction between Notes that collect likes and Notes that earn subscribers. That’s a mindset shift many writers need. I’m building a publication in a completely different niche, but I’ve started seeing the same pattern—readers subscribe when they recognize themselves in a story, not when the writing is simply clever. Thanks for sharing your process so openly.

Great post.
Are your Notes posts related tot he article or something else?
I am looking at Stan.store and see that you use it.
I assume you like it.
Can you give me your experience so far and exactly how you use it?
Great advice! Thank you!
