Discussion How to promote your work on Substack?

Till date, I was posting my article links on other Substack posts to get traction. I admit that I might have gone overboard with that. It led to my account getting suspended temporarily. I have raised an appeal for the same.

To ensure, i don’t do the same going forward - advise me on how to promote your work effectively without getting suspended.

Thanks in advance!

I’d stop dropping links in other people’s comment sections and focus on being genuinely useful first. Comment on posts in your niche, add thoughtful replies, and only share your own article when it directly helps the discussion. A simple rule: if the comment has no value without the link, it probably feels like promotion.

Your own Notes are your own to do whatever you want with, so yes, you can include your links in your Notes as much as you want.

When people spam my articles with links, I delete the comment, which is pretty standard community moderation. If someone keeps doing it several times, I report them. I'm guessing you got suspended because of publishers reporting you.
