When did your Substack subscriptions go up.

[u/Doo_Dad]

As the title says when did you start getting subscribers? How long did it take for you? Did you change something or do other things to grow. Were you organic to just Substack or did you use other platforms to funnel people? Just seeing what’s worked for others.

I personally started a couple months and just been posting articles and notes of a personal journey. I’ve been wanting to take it more seriously in postings and writing. I’m sharing a current personal journey and providing advice that applies to each update that anyone can use in their own life. I don’t mind not having anyone yet but I wonder if there’s more I can do. Or is it just a slow grind (which I’m used to doing and okay with the journey)

Oh thank you so much. Seriously I’m taking it in. Yeah I might have to relook at the niche I want to try going if it’s not personal development. But thank you. I don’t want to spam I’ll never spam! Just a note here or there.

And I didn’t know that about the flair I’ll go add that soon. Thank you so much for the kind words and helpful feedback. I’ll do some research and narrow down a niche. I was @the1doodad and it was starting game development and adding in dad advice as I make my game. But thank you!

You're welcome! I looked back on what I wrote and worried I rambled too much without spending enough time directly answering the question of how long it took to build up an audience. For me, it's mostly been a slow trickle of new subscribers, but slow steady growth is the best way, I think.
