Hi Karen - thanks for sharing! I grew rapidly by high quality of content, posting 3-5x per week and offering free posts together with daily engagement on Notes, comments and posts. There as many variants as there are topics so I hope this helps someone else as well! Best, Jayshree

I hate that he has his comments closed lol.

One thing I wonder when he touches on brevity...how does anyone know how brief the post is before opening?

Usually, there is a "__ minute read" notice on the post. I see Substack assigning that feature often. It will calculate based on the number of words in the post and then announce "1 minute read" or "4 minute read", etc...

I disagree with his advice to keep subject lines short. David Ogilvy, one of the greatest advertising execs ever advised to keep them as long as necessary to describe what you have.

I even tried keeping mine short. The results I think were extremely subpar.
