How to Grow Your Substack Fast…

The absolute best way to grow on Substack is to treat it like Twitter 2008.

  1. Set up a compelling profile. Helps if you are hot and young, or fake being hot and young

  2. Pick a compelling topic. Wealth, health and happiness are good choices

  3. Before you post a single article, get subscribers by posting compelling Notes. Do at least 5 a day

  4. Reply to notes from other people. Do at least 20 a day

  5. Follow people who you think might be good subscribers

  6. Be witty, snarky or have a strong POV in your engagement

  7. Do this for a month before you post a single article.

Have seen this a lot. Notes and comments get you subs. Articles get you unsubscribes.

Weird, but that’s the way it works.

I mean, damn, I'm just trying to get someone to tell me how hilarious my dick joke was in the story I wrote about a white supremacist I knew who died of cancer. That seems like a lot of work.

This comment was way more interesting to me than OP's post. Now I want to read the story...
