Very true points. Don’t forget that social media will add some subscribers.
When I set up my Substack and had written regularly for a while I sent a direct message to my LinkedIn connections. It took time has I had 2000 or so. However, it resulted in 54 subscribers.
Twitter/X still brings in a few. I have my own domain and I think that fools Mr Musk’s ban.
Facebook has brought in some, but Instagram is not worth the effort. I also get some from my YouTube channel.
The relatively new referral system on Substack could be a game changer. Just think that if on average each subscriber brought in one new subscriber per year? That would have an incredible effect, especially if we already have a good number of subscribers.
I think with the right tactics, referrals from subscribers can do even better. If we all bring new readers to Substack it can help many more writers as our subscribers discover others in the ecosystem.

I need to utilize Notes more, I keep forgetting about it. Also, I like the idea of guest writing on other newsletters.
Thank you for your honest take on growing on this platform. Sounds like consistency is key. Would you recommend to publish two articles per week?
Excellent wisdom. Thanks for sharing this. For a new stacker, its very helpful advice.
Great tips! I will definitely try it out, I also think that one important thing is consistent.
I have one question though: how often is necessary to post on notes?
Thank you for your good tips. Congratulations on your accomplishments on Substack!
