This post is SO generous for those who wanted or needed to know! I didn't know some of this stuff so THANK YOU!
I LOL'd a little at the "This is interesting, thank you for sharing." 😁😁 I haven't experienced that on Substack yet but Medium is notorious for those kind of comments.
Anyway, thanks again Karen. Off to download your thingy now 😊👏
I knew a decent amount about notes, but this was a nice breakdown that gave me a little more structure as to what was happening when I wrote them, who was seeing them, whose I was seeing. Thanks for the information. I love when substackers give clear helpful information without trying to sell you something.
Wow! I'm relatively new here. So, I have been searching how to succeed. Goodness! You've given more down to earth, common sense answers than anybody I've read...and you did it for free! And, I've read so much that made it seem like I had to buy all these courses, I was about to just call it quits. You're the kind of person that makes this world a better place to live.
“This isn’t LinkedIn, you’re a writer, not an accountant. If the only comment (‘reply’) you can think of is “That’s interesting, thank you for sharing”, then dont””….”
When I use notes I use a mixture of both. I write meaningful messages and I am also very friendly. I have grow in my Substack fairly substantially in four months. From zero to almost 900 since September 1.
Karen, that's so interesting that you linked to your guide we can pay for on Gumroad. That's the first time I've seen anyone do that here. These is such a helpful breakdown of how to use Notes.
Really helpful advice here. Over the past month I figured out what worked for me in notes. Like your writing everyone has their own style. Recently I’ve gotten a lot of engagement from my notes because it’s been a way to community build around writing.

Glad you got a chuckle from it, Kristi. This post will be a chapter in my Substack book. If I ever finish writing it...
Hi Karen, this has been the most useful info on using Notes that I have found so far. I will be rereading it weekly for a while yet. Respect, Maurice
Agree!

Hey thanks George! Best of luck to you in your dark times.
Totally agree!
LOL! I’ve already broken some of these rules.

You're a Substack superhero 🙌🏼 Thank you for inspiring me to give this a GO!

Substack should hire you as their education director, or pay you to write these super helpful articles. Thank you for the excellent run down on notes.
Chiming in here, I agree, Substack should really consider having you onboard the team.
Good article as usual, Karen!
Thank you for this information!
Wow so useful, thanks a lot! The "quote restack" feature is a great discovery.
Thanks for sharing! I'm new here and found this valuable. I'll continue to fumble around and see what happens.
Wow and to think there are people charging insane amounts of one off payment courses for this info thank you so much
Great information here Karen! There were some things about notes I never knew! Very educational and well thought out too! Thanks! 😎👊
Thank you, Karen! This really helped me figure out how to use these features (and when).

Excellent to hear Marc!
