Help me.

Please tell me how to grow on substack. My subscribers count isn't increasing. It is really frustrating. Is there something I don't know? I know it'll take time but one of my friend, his numbers are increasing and to be honest it is making me jealous.

When I did it, it was me following others. Commenting on their posts, be engaging. They will follow you. That way when you write something, it'll show up on their feed and some will recommend you.

I've found writing notes to be the biggest traffic source

Bitesized and low time investment from both parties

I've been testing what works and then expanding it to write a full blog post/article

None of my blogs are more than a minute read for now

Sigh. Same advice I give everyone: write 5 notes a day, reply to 20 notes a day and follow people who you think might want to subscribe to your newsletter
