This is a great piece, thank you! Here's my current simple SS strategy that seems to be working:

Weekly:

1 newsletter emailed to subscribers weekly

1 best of the week / favorite substacks and simple life update as a post, not emailed, and shared in notes

Daily:

5 notes

5 restacks of my favorite reads of the days with a sentence or two

How:

Take all the time you are currently spending on IG, FB, YT, X, (where the F ever you are currently doomscrolling), and use it to read and create on Substack.

I think it can be that simple.

It always amazes me what notes I see that "go viral." I can't quite put my finger on why they do just yet. Maybe that's part of the fun. =]

Can I not simply write the best pieces I can and trust that the right people who appreciate the same things I do will find me in time?

It always confuses me when people repost Lea's article with the exact same title (and content) as my original article lol.

Claire, thank you for mentioning me twice here. I super appreciate it and hope everyone here has amazing success!
