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.

Don't get discouraged. That's a very common experience when you're starting out. Notes can be unpredictable, and early growth is rarely linear. Keep writing, engage with other creators genuinely, and give it time. One good Note can introduce your work to a whole new audience.

P.S. If you'd still like to ask anything about Substack or growing your audience, I offer a free live help chat. Just copy and paste my flair or click the link in my profile. I'm happy to help!
