Hey Reader, Yesterday, I told you about the four main pillars of Substack and how each of them can help YOU achieve your writing goals in 2025. Today, we're diving into one of my favorite Substack features: Notes! Think of Substack Notes as short, snackable content. Well, to be fair, Notes can also be long, but most of them are shorter than a typical long-form post. What I love about Notes is that you can quickly try different formats and ideas. My own Notes feed is a mix of:
You can think of Notes as your testing ground, but the truth is that they're actually a powerful vehicle for GROWING your audience. This is particularly interesting for new writers who feel overwhelmed by the idea of writing long posts or newsletters right away. If you're looking for an easy way to start writing, start by publishing Notes. This will allow you to get the ball rolling, connect with like-minded people, gain your first readers, and build confidence. Starting by publishing Notes removes the friction because your Notes can literally consist of one or two sentences: And if you've already been writing online for a while, Notes is the perfect way to repurpose your existing work and start your Substack journey with an advantage. When I started to publish Notes, I repurposed many of my Medium posts. I took snippets from my articles and turned them into short, punchy Notes.

Hey Reader, When my team and I created the Write • Build • Scale publication on Substack last year, we didn't know exactly what role Substack could play in our business. Is it a newsletter platform? A growth channel? Social media? We didn't know, and even creators who had been on the platform for months couldn't really articulate why they thought Substack would be the "next big thing" for creators. A year later, I finally understand: It was hard to clearly describe what exactly Substack is...

Hey Reader, We're celebrating our 10-month anniversary on Substack this month, and if I'm completely honest, these past few months have had a major impact on our business. But we didn't start the Write • Build • Scale publication with big expectations. In fact, we didn't know what to expect at all. There was so much noise and misinformation about the platform that it was hard to see how exactly we could leverage it for ourselves. Here we are, 10 months later, with 10k subscribers, an...
