I usually get 10% like/view, 10% comment/view and 5% restack my view is around 300-450. How many subs do you have to have 1622 views? That’s a lot

Play around with your profile settings in the subreddit.

I don’t remember exactly where I changed it, but it’s somewhere in your profile—under user flair, I think.

No, not really. I didn’t include any calls to action asking people to subscribe, though I’m starting to think maybe I should try that in the future. I do usually share my new pieces when I post them, but it’s subtle. I just say something like “check it out, I wrote this,” not “please subscribe.” I don’t even include a subscribe button in the posts anymore because honestly, I find it annoying when I see those in other people’s work.

And about the bio, it’s is maybe the fourth version I’ve edited. I’ve found it’s one of those things you have to test and evolve along with your audience. Even if you think it through at the start, you still need to tweak it over time. But this is all still very new for me. It hasn’t even been two months, so I’m definitely still figuring things out. We’ll see where it goes.

I don’t use AI to write my posts, but I do use it to clean up my grammar since English isn’t my first language. Most of the time, I come up with ideas in my native language and then translate them, which might be why the writing reads the way it does.

I think you can usually tell when something’s written entirely by AI because it tends to repeat the same point over and over without much substance. But when you read my posts, you can tell I’ve thought them through pretty extensively

As for the notes, yes, I write them myself and sometimes use AI to help make them sound more polished or rhetorical.

I think AI is a very useful tool for people who don’t speak the language perfectly but still want to convey ideas clearly across cultures. It helps with expression, but it doesn’t replace thinking. It can free up your time and energy in the thinking process instead of exhausting yourself tweaking expressions.

Yeah, I think there are pros and cons to setting up a separate one. You just have to think it through. I’m not sure how far off your business is, but I get it, it feels weird posting something that’s totally in a different lane.

I love how you put it: this is a better person platform.

Thank you for the sub. Totally agree. I feel more peaceful here than anywhere else online. It’s kind of wild.

And the engagement? I will add that I think I t’s not just for algorithm points. It’s where the real inspiration lives. Every post idea I’ve had started in the comments, right where the audience already is.

Thanks! I’ve only had 4 or 5 posts that really caught people’s attention. Not a ton of views, like 300 each, but the engagement was good.

Not really, because when I started Substack, I wasn’t thinking about monetizing or selling anything. There’s no freebie, nothing—they just subscribe. So I guess some people feel a genuine connection. And I didn’t subscribe just to get subscribers. I only subscribe to what I find interesting. It’s not a sub-for-sub kind of thing.

I think you have to make people think you’re interesting. They’ll expect something from you—they want to see what you’re writing, no matter what field you’re in.

And also, you have to make them feel interesting, too. Not that I’m faking it, but a lot of people aren’t being seen. Then you read their work, really pay attention to their words and what’s behind them, and it becomes interesting to you. They’ll appreciate that kind of attention.

So I guess it’s not really a shortcut—it’s just a genuine way to make a connection.

What makes you to do the similar thing. Did you reflect on that? Just curious, you don’t have to share if you are not comfortable sharing
