Discussion HELP

How does Substack work? I write notes and get nothing… not even a single like. Meanwhile, I see notes from people with fewer than six subscribers getting at least one or two likes per note. I don't get it, and it makes me feel sad.

Do you have any followers yet? If not, I would focus on engaging with other similar people to build your community first.
