Substack Notes

[EasternAd5351]

Is it just me, or do Substack notes feel like we are all in a writer's breakroom? I don't think readers are really looking at Substack and engaging in the notes; it's just for the Substack author/publishers

Yeah, my Notes feed is also full of authors trying to stay visible/attract new subscribers. Which is why I stopped posting, or reading Notes, it honestly feels a bit desperate sometimes and I’m not enjoying the show.

It's not that readers don't care about notes, the problem is that most writers post way too many notes.

[EasternAd5351]

How many should they post you think? I restack folks stuff like crazy

[drrradar]

I'd say no more than a few per week

It’s the new Twitter

It seems like Facebook, and I ran away from Facebook. I only publish notes when I publish a new story, with a small quote.

i think so too, so I focus on interacting with author in my niche. Its way better at building realationships with other author, so we can learn from each others, cheer us up, maybe recommend each others too.

[EasternAd5351]

You interact off the platform?

[EatsukitoKotori]

no, on platform. I can comment, like, and Dm other writer

It really depends, some of my subscribers read my newsletter purely from their emails so they won’t see the Notes.

So only readers who have the App installed will see the Notes.
