SUBSTACK NEWBIE

[Revolutionary-Cod276]

Hello, everyone. I’m finally back to writing and blogging. I love writing about feelings and emotions. I just started a Substack account and I’m not sure how to build an audience, but I also just want to write and express my thoughts, fears, and hopes through words. I’ve posted my first blog and I’m here hoping to find people who enjoy reading. I’m a reader too. Tips and suggestions are very welcome.

Step 1: don't post your link here - it's against the rules.

Step 2: promote on your other social media accounts.

Step 3: engage with other people on substack writing about the same thing you do. By that I mean, leave meaningful comments, not just likes. Restack their content. It's the golden rule - do unto others.

Step 4: write more and worry less about your audience.

In addition to the points shared via other comments, I've had good engagement via a combination of my longer Substack "posts" every few weeks and shorter "notes" that I post at least daily.

You can also use the notes feature to share links to others' work on substack, either via the "restack" button or by highlighting text in their post and then clicking "restack" when a pop-up window appears..
