Thank you for this, really. I do just about everything you said except for two things that I’m realizing are killing me. I’m releasing a serialized sci-fi novel twice a week, and 1-2 poems per week. Two very different lanes. I must be confusing the hell out of the Algorithm.
But I’m okay with that. I don’t need monetization. I just need one person to read what I write. Because in the “real world”, no one does.
Thank you for putting this out here. I think many of us can relate to this and even though we might know many things cognitively (posting and disappearing doesn’t do the thing, perfectionism is holding you back, not posting is stupid) it‘s always good to hear those things again.
Im currently trying to build up my substack, engaging in notes and posts everyday. I only post once every 2 weeks though. You think that is holding me back?
Thank you so much for this encouragement and no-nonsense approach. I have to confess I’ve been known for ghosting. 🤦🏼♀️ This article spoke to me at my very core.
Hi, I'm glad I came across your article. I read this and felt like you were describing my life. I've been struggling with the idea of interacting online for years. Thanks for the push.
This was very encouraging. I'm new to Substack and I've been asking around for advice on how to get likes on my notes. I get subscribers, but I'm not sure how to get my notes seen. I do want to get more engaged and you made some really great points about how to engage. Do you use other platforms other than YouTube to draw additional readers to your Substack content?
Hey!
Let me know what you think of my latest post!

And I’m not half bad.
Yep.
Prey ? 🤷 I’m still having no subscribers 😅
commenting so I will read this later. Thanks!
I'm new on Substack and took lots from the post! Thanks for giving me advice before I do things that waste time!
I loved this so much!

Because we often overlook the obvious.
So thank you for pointing it out 🤍
glad it resonated

yes
I'm sitting on about 8 articles. But I have them scheduled for every two weeks. How do you recommend I space them out?
it’s not just about the articles, but also notes + comment.
start with one article a week
Thanks, very useful!

I do use other channels to get people onto my list
I treat substack as a traffic source
This was super helpful, Matt! I’ve been reading a lot of posts about this topic but I truly felt your feedback was actionable! Thank you!
