This is great advice. I am struggling a bit to adapt it to my niche which is more educational. Maybe it’s just that a lot of what I am currently seeing on my feed is more inspirational type notes (or ‘how to grow on substack) which I really like personally however I am not how to translate inspirational to educational. Something I will be working on though!
Thank you as always for your very specific and practical content. Do you have any suggestions for making sure the content of the note matches well with the long form posts? I found that, when it didn't, I got a lot of profile views, but they didn't translate into subscribers...
This is gold. I see the same dynamic in business finance: the big wins often come from the smallest, repeatable actions executed consistently. What you call “Notes as growth engine” is what I describe to founders as micro-levers. These are small, low-effort moves that compound into outsized returns. Your 15 minutes for 51 subscribers is a perfect case study in how leverage beats hustle.
ove how simple you’ve made this sound. i get so stuck overthinking notes that i forget it doesn’t have to be perfect, it just has to exist. gonna try this out this week and see what happens.
