6 Ways to Write Engaging Notes on Substack (That Go Viral)

Substack Notes is a cozy corner of the internet where introverted writers can find peace, community and a place to get paid to be themselves.

Busy part time writers can share short form posts while juggling kids, job and household tasks but having the dream to start and grow a newsletter and write.

25% of my growth is coming from Notes. For

David McIlroy

, co-host of my Bootcamp, I think it’s more than 50%. In the last 30 days he could attract more than 1,000 subscribers to his newsletter.

In my interview with Substack lead Linda Lebrun she told me it’s about having fun.

I also always say:

Have fun dancing in the Notes Club! 💃🏻

Today was the grand finale of The Notes Kickstarter Bootcamp and we had a blast!

Thanks to more than 50 bootcampers! Your trust keeps me going.

Since it was a highlight for my bootcampers and me, I’d love to share Day 3’s The Notes Rockstar Session with you.

David and I got joined by the amazing…

Peter William Murphy (he told me he’s using only half of his head anyway and I should keep it “on brand”, so the headshot would be fine ^^; he always makes me smile on Notes; loves his cat and wife and

Robin Wilding

).
