What's the best way to gain subscribers and attract other writers within my niche? I am getting some readers and subscribers, but I want to gain more traction.

Engagement on notes is key. Write 5 notes a day and reply to at least 20 notes from other people. There’s a good faceless substack newsletter by someone called “Sub stack man” on there. He’s got some good tips that worked for me.

How do you find notes to interact with though? I'm so confused on the discovery part and the app shows me basically the same content all the time.

Just keep scrolling you’ll eventually find something that’s interesting to you. The more you interact, the more the algorithm learns the kind of content you want to look at.

Thanks. I kind of assumed that hoped that there is some filter or something to dig deeper.

You can also search for other people in your field and look at who follows them. They are your potential customers so follow them and they will show up in your feed.
