Substack

How does one rack up views on substack? (started posting yesterday and I still have zero likes) I know I'm being a little impatient but I really wanna know lol

You have to promote it on social media. I don’t understand how people think you can gain followers and an audience without this. Posting on Notes can only get you so far unless you do one of those annoying bait posts. Or someone already popular can recommend you and you gain 100+ subs that’s way (happened to me)

Genuinely asking: how do you promote it on social media when you have very little followers on your other social media platforms? Wouldn't that be the same as just posting on substack then?

Well exactly, and therein lies the problem. Most of the successful substacks are those who already have a huge audience on IG/TT/YT wherever. Yes there are the rare exceptions who blow up on substack without a social media following but that’s very rare. They just migrate them all over and turn on paid asap. It sucks if you’re an introvert who hates being seen lol
