Notes was the gamechanger for me on Substack.
I had around 200 subscribers at the end of November 2023. Growth was painfully slow. I couldn’t see how I’d ever make things work on the platform in a meaningful way.
Then, from December 2023 onwards, my entire trajectory changed.
My Sustack audience growth skyrocketed compared to my presence on every other online platform. 🚀
And in July 2024, I finally crossed a threshold I never expected to reach: 10,000 email subscribers.
As of today, I’m at 13,000 and rising.
And honestly, Notes was a crucial cog in that growth machine.
Here’s where you come in, friend…
From September 16 - 20, I’ll be diving into
’s interactive Substack Notes Kickstarter Bootcamp experience…… and I want you join me there! 😊

how to write on Notes

how to make money with your posts
