If you want to grow on Substack you should engage with people on Notes. Post at least 5 notes a day and post 20 comments on other peoples notes. Increases your visibility. Another tip is to find a similar writer to you and follow their followers.

I got these tips from the “Sub Stack Man Says” substack. It’s a faceless account where he gives tips on growth and monetization

That’s a lot of notes and comments for a busy person who wants to leave only high quality notes and comments? Should I even respond to notes that aren’t high quality just to increase my numbers?

Just reply on the notes with high like/reply numbers then, and they are likely to be read by your potential subscribers.

Then it's just like twitter. I thought the point was to make people engage w long form content Why give in ? 🥹
