Quite helpful, thank you. I have not given notes any attention, but now I will.

Substack notes is the best way to gain new subscribers. Post and see how it works.

Thank you. This is very helpful and I just subscribed.

I’m relatively new here and I really want to know this;

I know what notes are. So what is the difference between a post and a newsletter? Or are they the same?

Hi Bilqis, thank you for reading and subscribing.

Your newsletter is like your website where subscribers can find your content and subscribe to receive more.

A post is like a blog that you write and share with your subscribers.

Hope this helps.

Mark, your experience proves that the first 100 subscribers are the hardest to get!

Once I had 2 days with 0 new subs and I started to panic, although people like what I do.

Thanks for the brilliant tips! I like your writing style!

True Victoria. It takes a while to get the first 100 subs then everything snowballs after that. Happy you found value in the post🙏🙏
