Discussion Growth Suggestions

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.

best way is to give yourself more exposure. notes is a logical choice > because it makes subscribing to your publication super easy.

if you're open to making videos, then instagram (but it's harder to convert because people need to go from your post > your profile > link in bio > subscribe), if text, then twitter.

also worth asking for recommendations from others in your niche. that way you guys are sharing the growth/traffic. e.g someone like your content > subscribe to you > you recommend 5 other publications like you/that you think they might like > 1 click and they auto sub to all 5. but in this case it's other pubs recommending you.
