Hi Kristina!

Only just came across this post of yours. It’s funny, I thought I was subscribed to your newsletter all this while but I wasn’t? Anyway, did it now.

Notes changed my life. I had just over a 100 subscribers in Jan this year after nine months of writing on Substack. With the help of Notes, my subscriber count is close to 900 today. My newsletter experienced a spectacular boom, however things seem to have slowed down now. I wonder if that has happened with most people or just me?

I would love some advice on how to still use Notes to our advantage.

Thanks in advance though ✨

I love your article Kristina! And the interview with David is wonderful.

It has really motivated me to keep g(r)o(w)ing here!

I started two days ago and I am still editing the platform, but I am now super inspired in how I am going to use it.

Thank you!

I’m trying to get the hang of notes in the sense that I have 2 newsletters on here. Without posting links how will followers know which newsletter to follow? I have one I’m more active on than the other. I read not to post links to recent newsletters as that’s not the way to do it 🤷🏼‍♀️

Twitter/X is highly “curated” and continues to select voices. I hope Substack never moves in that direction.

Thank you, Kristina and David. This was very valuable information. I've been on Substack for a few years, but I'm just learning about Notes and Recommendations now.

Hmmm. Had one note go viral, 0 subscribers from it. I do enjoy Notes and will continue participating.

Ok so that's a pretty compelling collection of screenshots... maybe it IS time to up my Notes game.

If only ”followers” was removed, the Notes would been godlike!

There IS a problem or two. Notes are not indexed by Google. And it is not possible migrate our notes. It is rented land for now.

Very much unbelievable! I write a gratitude daily note and more, but still in the early days .. a few likes are better than none 🤪 but I do it because I like it, more than likes. I do like when people respond as I feel more helpful and a tiny tad proud of myself too 😁
