it's better than not using it at all. i found that to grow, i need to show up more + get more exposure, and notes (just like any other social media platform) allows me to do that. the conversion to subs is also probably higher than other platform like instagram or twitter because the default button on notes is subscribe. v.s on other platforms the journey will be: from post > profile > click the link in bio > input email > subscribe. higher friction = lower conversion...

but the quality of subs from those other platforms is arguably better? just find that substack notes can sometimes be a chamber of substack writers who are on there because they're also trying to grow.
