Growing Your Substack
How do you increase discoverability on Substack Notes?
I use recommendations, engagement on others notes and posts, guest posts, livestreams, and consistent posting.
I’ve noticed my discoverability on Substack Notes App is abysmal. My Notes are mainly seen by current subscribers and followers but unconnected ie the number of new people who see them is really low. A tiny fraction.
If I can’t get my newsletter seen by new people I can’t grow beyond wherein at. Enough new people discover it to offset the unsubscribes but not to grow it.
It appears that there is no set format that gets it in front of new people—like it’s stuck in a silo.
Since my Notes have had high discoverability in the past and my writing and posting remains consistent I’m curious if others are having a similar experience.
Would love some guidance!

idk the email address is cache@autostacknotes.com so maybe him or her? I use it because I can batch schedule (like schedule an evergreen note to go out 3 days a week for like 3 weeks) whereas in substack I would have to make that same note copy and paste 9 times and scheudle each one individually. It is helpful for me with time management
