I still remember your guest post on Write With AI with Cole and Dickie, that was a great one!

I wasn't aware of the benefits of Substack until listening to this. Thanks.

Just what Paul Metcalfe shared today about Notes. Haven't paid attention myself!

Thank you. I'm new to substack and these concise tips are very helpful. This is a good template to start working from.

Just started getting offers to guest post here - I'm excited but also terrified because I know it needs to be great! But, I'm also getting very used to embarrassing myself for the sake of my dream of writing full-time. Thanks for this post!

Excellent insights. I working on all these areas, because they all need attention.

I'm glad you included audio, I love the article voiceover feature. I am a bit confused though. It sounds like a podcast of two people doing a great job of commenting on this very article, but they never mention who they are, and you don't mention them in the article. I was expecting your voice, so surprise! Who are they?

Great insights, Matt! particularly with SEO. Would you mind dropping the link in the comments? Thanks!

Thank you so much for a rather informative article. I just started doing one note a day. But, I realized my notes are too long, and I could just save them for a blog post on here, and that might be an effective strategy. And I also think I need to find a niche. Any words of wisdom on finding the right niche for you?

This is absolute GOLD. My main target to round out 2024 is to grow my substack from it's current 1600ish subs, to beyond 2500. I'll be deploying these tactics!

@Matt Giaro ⚙️

My feed doesn’t really show Notes from writers from my niche (iOS dev). It makes me thinking that notes I am posting are also not visible to others interested in my niche.

Instead it’s mostly either how to grow Substack, either “follow me/follow you”.

Basically, my current perception of Notes is - it’s for writers, not readers.

Do you think I am right or wrong?

Solid list Matt — Guest posts are one area I have no yet leveraged.

Next on my list is to begin working on more collabs and guests posts. One area I have yet to leverage.
