When a post goes viral, it brings new subscribers for months. Notes are quick burners, you get a viral effect for 1-2 weeks and then silence. But posts? One post can become your growth engine for months!

And if you approach your writing strategically, it can become your money-making machine that brings a predictable income. One that compounds.

This is what I used to grow my Substack to 1,000+ paid subscribers, get my orange badge and turn this into a six-figure business on the side of my 9-5.

It’s also what I use to help you - my paid, VIP members and my coaching clients.

I wrote about how I do it here:

That’s why this Challenge exists.

To help you replicate my methods and grow your revenues.

First, let’s now announce the winner from last month.

WINNER AWARDS

I want to personally congratulate all of the members who took their growth seriously last month and were active:

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Now, to select the winners, I have to see you in the Accountability tracker AND in the comment section of the weekly sharing posts, and since not all of you added yourselves to the tracker, I’m gonna honor that and select ONLY among the ones who did.

The Challenge Rules:

PARTICIPANTS:

The weekly sharing boost posts are for ALL UNPLUGGED MEMBERS - you can all add yourself to the accountability tracker and participate in the sharing posts, but all training materials, AI tools, and AWARDS are reserved for PAID MEMBERS ONLY.

As usual, Paid and V.I.P. members have their private access to the GPTs, and the Data-Driven Online Writing Course, the Data-Driven Copywriting Course and the Data-Driven SEO & AI SEO Course with all templates, cheat sheets, formulas, checklists, data banks, and supporting materials.

What you need to do:

• Write and publish at least 1 post per week.

• Join the challenge by adding yourself to the Accountability tracker

• Make this challenge your daily engagement workflow: share your posts in the weekly thread (you can do that every day until the next post comes on Sunday), read, like and comment on other people’s posts - it helps them, AND YOU grow.

How to do that (faster)?

• [NEW] Use this trick to personalize your posts, it will help you grow faster.

• [NEW] Use my engagement SOP with this challenge, it will get you more eyeballs.

• [NEW] Write a pillar post and use my method to get more visibility - it will bring you consistent new subscribers for months.

• Take the ALL-NEW Data-Driven, NLP-infused, Online Writing Course, the Data-Driven Copywriting Course, and the Data-Driven SEO & AI SEO Course to make your writing contagious, AND make sure it sells for you (without selling).

• Watch the Positioning, the Product, and the Content Strategies from the QUEST: to make sure your content matches your audience's needs.

• [NEW] Create your own custom GPT or Claude skill and use my AI writing protocol to get 100% human checks on Pangram.

• Or use my custom GPT or Claude Skill the CREATIVETECH Writer Pro (free for paid members - use the link below) for outlines. I give my GPT one of my notes and ask it to expand it into a 1000-word article. I then edit and post for free. It works.

• Make sure you add links to other posts, so that people keep reading (or start buying if they are paywalled - that’s what I did)

• Add a compelling headline, one that opens a curiosity gap. Use my custom GPT the TITLE Generator - give it your entire article and it will come up with 10 titles suggestions.

• Make sure you have a CTA at the end of your post, selling your product in a non-salesy way. How? Use my brand new custom GPT High Converting CTAs Writer (link below). Just give it the product description and it will generate you 10 non-salesy CTAs that convert. If you don’t have products to sell, become my affiliate and earn 30% from each sale. Apply here for my AI tools and here for the SUBSTACK QUEST (I approve everyone).

• Make the weekly boost posts your daily engaging routine - I publish them every Sunday:

  • Share a quote from your post on Notes (select some shareable sentence & restack quote)

  • Share a link to it on the Weekly Writing Challenge Sharing post: I will publish one every Sunday - it will arrive in your inbox.

  • Read, like, comment and restack some of the other posts you like. Make this Challenge your daily engagement routine - it will help YOU and other Unplugged members grow faster.

• Track your consistency: add yourself to the Accountability Tracker. I have a Prize for the most active!

Notes keep crushing it for many Unplugged members right now. I just got another viral Note bringing me 320+ subscribers and still going:

And shared hers in our last VIP mastermind - she got more than 650 subscribers from it:

My Note? Nothing special - just sharing milestones, this time with a story - same thing that worked in 2024 works today. Now, this viral Note got me hundreds, but I have hundreds of Notes that got me just one subscriber. I shared the ONLY 5 Notes templates you need to turn likes into subscribers here:

Lisa’s Note? She used my AI tools from the Viral Notes Writer system course. That’s all you need to know. It also has my most powerful custom GPT and the Claude skill that helps write Notes that get subscribers. That’s what Lisa used for her Note.

That’s why this challenge exists.

Ok, first things first - let’s announce the WINNER from the previous month 🤩

Time to kick off the new Challenge!

Challenge PARTICIPANTS:

The weekly sharing boost posts are for ALL UNPLUGGED MEMBERS - you can all add yourself to the accountability tracker and participate in the sharing posts, but all training materials, AI tools, and AWARDS are reserved for PAID MEMBERS ONLY.

As usual, Paid and V.I.P. members also have their private access to the GPT, Claude Skill, and the Viral Notes Writer Course with EVERYTHING below.

[NEW] So from this month, you have a fully automated workflow for Notes with all new Paid Member Perks:

1. Write and schedule Notes directly from the chat in Claude using my brand-new skill and the tool from Finn Tropy.

2. You can also write with my custom GPT and Claude skill using the Viral Notes Writer System (you got 50% off)

4. Automatically re-post to social media using my automation app so you can grow even beyond Substack

What you need to do (short version):

• Join the challenge by adding yourself to the Accountability tracker

• Use my Claude skill or custom GPT to write and publish at least 3 Notes per day.

• Share your Notes in the weekly thread posts and make them your daily engagement routine - interact with others (you can do that every day until the next post comes on Saturday). The more activity, the greater the chances to win a Spotlight.

WINNERS AWARDS:

I’m gonna select 1 from the most active people who will win a Spotlight with me.

Rules for the winners selection:

• I’ll select the most active participants in the Challenge based on the Accountability Tracker and the activity on the sharing posts. Rules:

  • 1. must be in the Accountability tracker AND be active in the sharing posts (the more you share AND interact with others, the higher chances you have). I now extract data automatically (thanks to Finn and his StackContacts), so there’s zero chance for error.

  • 2. must have completed the challenge (at least three Notes every day)

  • 3. you can win the same challenge more than once but in different months

  • 4. you can’t win both Writing and Notes challenges in the same month. If you do, I’ll invite the next most active person for a session

• To give you and your Substack more exposure, I will share the spotlight session:

  • all subscribers

  • my YouTube channel

  • my BiTES atomic newsletter

The Substack Notes30 Monthly Challenge - Full Description

Your fully automated Notes Growth Engine step by step:

• Add yourself to the Accountability tracker.

• Post at least THREE Notes every day. One is not enough, especially if you’re new to the platform. If you have a few thousand subscribers, you can do one/day - you’ll still grow, but you’ll grow much FASTER if you post more. The effect compounds. As you saw in my examples from above, I get just a few subscribers from each Note => MORE Notes = MORE Subscribers!

• Take the Viral Notes Writer course. It’s beginner-friendly and it’s only 3 hours of bite-sized easy to digest lessons.

• Take the SUBSTACK QUEST Growth strategies - because it all works together as one engine.

• Use my brand new Claude skill or custom Viral Notes Writer GPT the way I described in this video. It will turn your idea into multiple viral-ready Notes, you only need to edit and publish. Takes less than 15 minutes/day. Brings you subscribers (as many of you reported).

• Use:

  • Notes for Claude bundle (you have 50% off perk),

  • Write Stack (you have 30 day free perk), or

  • Substack Pro Studio GPT Bundle (you have 50% off perk) to schedule and analyze, optimize and schedule your Notes. Posting in the right times is crucial. No need to keep your computer active.

• Or use these 5 templates if you want to write Notes by yourself.

• Engage daily with at least 5 to 10 Substack members. Apply everything described in this video from the course, and this video from the QUEST.

• Share your Notes in the weekly Notes boost post: I will post one each Saturday, you’ll get it in your inbox. The next one comes next Saturday (post on the most recent one till then). I also share it in the chat. And remember to read, like, comment and restack some of the other Notes you like. Make this challenge your daily engagement routine - it helps YOU and other members grow faster.

• Use this automation to repost them to social media, so that you grow even more from external sources (as recommended by Substack).

• And if you have a Note with 100+ likes, DM me with a link, and I’ll add you to the Unplugged Hall of Fame (part of the Unplugged Toolbox)

If you follow all of the above, I’m confident you’ll pump your subscriber growth and you’ll see the effect immediately. People who do already report significant progress.

The goal?

To gain subscribers who are engaged with your writing and who can (and will) be converted to paid subscribers later.

How?

Follow my system from this short but powerful course: The Viral Notes Writer System. I created it for you. It’s how I get to that high conversion rate. It now runs on both - ChatGPT and Claude.

The Challenge includes (links at the end of this post):

We’ll simplify everything with the course, now you have only 3 things:

• Link to the Accountability Tracker. Add yourself now!

  • As well as:

    • My brand new Claude skill for writing viral Notes

    • AI Prompting Strategy to help you write more relatable Notes based on data collected for your audience.

    • My Content Strategy: what type of Notes get the most traction - I incorporated this in the custom GPT.

    • My Engagement Strategy to attract new subscribers that are convertible to paid. You’ll have three modes:

      • EASY: engage with at least 5 new accounts per day

      • HARD: engage with at least 10 new accounts per day

      • TURBO: engage with at least 15 new accounts per day

    • A set of 11 Notes Templates (including the one that got me 10 200 likes and 167 subscribers) I’m using with a short guide on how to write them and an example from my Notes:

    • My Notes Guiding Principles on how to use Notes to gain convertible subscribers. A set of short rules about:

      • How to write powerful hooks

      • What types of Notes to write currently

      • How to engage with others on the platform

    • List of 17 types of Notes Ideas you can easily craft. If you don’t want to stick to my templates, you can use these as references in case you get stuck.

    • My list of 17 Rules of Short Form Writing I’ve proven to be working on Substack. I used them to train the GPT and to create the Claude skill. The majority of these rules also work on Medium, X, LinkedIn, Quora. You can use them anywhere.

    • And how to use the Viral Notes Writer for X, Bluesky and LinkedIn

• Link to the automation template that helps you automatically repost Notes to social media.

You have all this packed in The Viral Notes Writer System course (value $197).

When a post goes viral, it brings new subscribers for months. Notes are quick burners, you get a viral effect for 1-2 weeks and then silence. But posts? One post can become your growth engine for months!

And if you approach your writing strategically, it can become your money-making machine that brings a predictable income. One that compounds.

This is what I use to grow my Substack to almost 1,000 paid subscribers with a total monthly revenue close to $20k.

It’s also what I use to help you - my paid, VIP members and my coaching clients.

That’s why this Challenge exists.

To help you replicate my methods and grow your revenues.

First, let’s now announce the winner from last month.

WINNER AWARDS

I want to personally congratulate all of the members who took their growth seriously last month and were active:

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Congrats to all of you! You’re ABSOLUTELY amazing!

Now, to select the winners, I have to see you in the Accountability tracker AND in the comment section of the weekly sharing posts, and since not all of you added yourselves to the tracker, I’m gonna honor that and select ONLY among the ones who did.

Ok, so the winner is….

The Challenge Rules:

PARTICIPANTS:

The weekly sharing boost posts are for ALL UNPLUGGED MEMBERS - you can all add yourself to the accountability tracker and participate in the sharing posts, but all training materials, AI tools, and AWARDS are reserved for PAID MEMBERS ONLY.

As usual, Paid and V.I.P. members have their private access to the GPTs, and the Data-Driven Online Writing Course, the Data-Driven Copywriting Course and the Data-Driven SEO & AI SEO Course with all templates, cheat sheets, formulas, checklists, data banks, and supporting materials.

What you need to do:

• Write and publish at least 1 post per week.

• Join the challenge by adding yourself to the Accountability tracker

• Make this challenge your daily engagement workflow: share your posts in the weekly thread (you can do that every day until the next post comes on Sunday), read, like and comment on other people’s posts - it helps them, AND YOU grow.

How to do that (faster)?

• [NEW] Use this trick to personalize your posts, it will help you grow faster.

• [NEW] Use my engagement SOP with this challenge, it will get you more eyeballs.

• [NEW] Write a pillar post and use my method to get more visibility - it will bring you consistent new subscribers for months.

• Take the ALL-NEW Data-Driven, NLP-infused, Online Writing Course, the Data-Driven Copywriting Course, and the Data-Driven SEO & AI SEO Course to make your writing contagious, AND make sure it sells for you (without selling).

• Watch the Positioning, the Product, and the Content Strategies from the QUEST: to make sure your content matches your audience's needs.

• [NEW] Create your own custom GPT or Claude skill and use my AI writing protocol to get 100% human checks on Pangram.

• Or use my custom GPT or Claude Skill the CREATIVETECH Writer Pro (free for paid members - use the link below) for outlines. I give my GPT one of my notes and ask it to expand it into a 1000-word article. I then edit and post for free. It works.

• Make sure you add links to other posts, so that people keep reading (or start buying if they are paywalled - that’s what I did)

• Add a compelling headline, one that opens a curiosity gap. Use my custom GPT the TITLE Generator - give it your entire article and it will come up with 10 titles suggestions.

• Make sure you have a CTA at the end of your post, selling your product in a non-salesy way. How? Use my brand new custom GPT High Converting CTAs Writer (link below). Just give it the product description and it will generate you 10 non-salesy CTAs that convert. If you don’t have products to sell, become my affiliate and earn 30% from each sale. Apply here for my AI tools and here for the SUBSTACK QUEST (I approve everyone).

• Make the weekly boost posts your daily engaging routine - I publish them every Sunday:

  • Share a quote from your post on Notes (select some shareable sentence & restack quote)

  • Share a link to it on the Weekly Writing Challenge Sharing post: I will publish one every Sunday - it will arrive in your inbox.

  • Read, like, comment and restack some of the other posts you like. Make this Challenge your daily engagement routine - it will help YOU and other Unplugged members grow faster.

• Track your consistency: add yourself to the Accountability Tracker. I have a Prize for the most active!

Time to kick off the Notes Challenge for this month!

Notes keep crushing it for many Unplugged members right now. I just got another viral Note bringing me 300+ subscribers and still going:

Nothing special - just sharing milestones, this time with a story - same thing that worked in 2024 works today.

Now, this viral Note got me hundreds, but I have hundreds of Notes that got me just one subscriber. Don’t overthink it. Just post. Each Note is an opportunity for one new subscriber.

And if you ever wonder what works - take the Viral Notes Writer system course. That’s all you need to know. It also has my most powerful custom GPT and the Claude skill that helps write Notes that get subscribers.

That’s why this challenge exists.

Ok, first things first - let’s announce the WINNER from the previous month 🤩

WINNERS AWARDS

As usual, I want to personally congratulate all of the members who took their growth seriously last month and were so active:

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Congrats to ALL of you! I see you! You ARE ALL AMAZING!

Now, to select the winner, I also have to see you in the Accountability tracker, and since not all of you added yourselves, I’m gonna honor that and select ONLY among the ones who did.

As a reminder, I select the winners based on the Accountability tracker AND activity on the weekly sharing posts. Thanks to and his StackContacts I can now very easily extract the data and see who was the most active in my comment section.

4. Automatically re-post to social media using my automation app so you can grow even beyond Substack

What you need to do (short version):

• Join the challenge by adding yourself to the Accountability tracker

• Use my Claude skill or custom GPT to write and publish at least 3 Notes per day.

• Share your Notes in the weekly thread posts and make them your daily engagement routine - interact with others (you can do that every day until the next post comes on Saturday). The more activity, the greater the chances to win a Spotlight.

Rules for the winners selection:

• I’ll select the most active participants in the Challenge based on the Accountability Tracker and the activity on the sharing posts. Rules:

The Substack Notes30 Monthly Challenge - Full Description

Your fully automated Notes Growth Engine step by step:

• Add yourself to the Accountability tracker.

• Post at least THREE Notes every day. One is not enough, especially if you’re new to the platform. If you have a few thousand subscribers, you can do one/day - you’ll still grow, but you’ll grow much FASTER if you post more. The effect compounds. As you saw in my examples from above, I get just a few subscribers from each Note => MORE Notes = MORE Subscribers!

• Take the Viral Notes Writer course. It’s beginner-friendly and it’s only 3 hours of bite-sized easy to digest lessons.

• Take the SUBSTACK QUEST Growth strategies - because it all works together as one engine.

• Use my brand new Claude skill or custom Viral Notes Writer GPT the way I described in this video. It will turn your idea into multiple viral-ready Notes, you only need to edit and publish. Takes less than 15 minutes/day. Brings you subscribers (as many of you reported).

• Use the Notes for Claude bundle, Write Stack, or Substack Pro Studio GPT Bundle to schedule and analyze, optimize and schedule your Notes. Posting in the right times is crucial. No need to keep your computer active.

• Engage daily with at least 5 to 10 Substack members. Apply everything described in this video from the course, and this video from the QUEST.

• Share your Notes in the weekly Notes boost post: I will post one each Saturday, you’ll get it in your inbox. The next one comes next Saturday (post on the most recent one till then). I also share it in the chat. And remember to read, like, comment and restack some of the other Notes you like. Make this challenge your daily engagement routine - it helps YOU and other members grow faster.

• Use this automation to repost them to social media, so that you grow even more from external sources (as recommended by Substack).

• And if you have a Note with 100+ likes, DM me with a link, and I’ll add you to the Unplugged Hall of Fame.

If you follow all of the above, I’m confident you’ll pump your subscriber growth and you’ll see the effect immediately. People who do already report significant progress.

The goal?

To gain subscribers who are engaged with your writing and who can (and will) be converted to paid subscribers later.

How?

Follow my system from this short but powerful course: The Viral Notes Writer System. I created it for you. It’s how I get to that high conversion rate. It now runs on both - ChatGPT and Claude.

The Challenge includes (links at the end of this post):

We’ll simplify everything with the course, now you have only 3 things:

• Link to the Accountability Tracker. Add yourself now!

• PAID MEMBERS ONLY: The Unplugged Hall of Fame (link at the end of the post) - I’ve set a place to display all Notes from the Unplugged paid member community that received 100+ likes. If you have a Note with 100+ likes, DM me with a link, and I’ll add you.

• PAID MEMBERS ONLY: Link to the The Viral Notes Writer System course - it’s only 3 hours, and it has EVERYTHING you need to implement my system. In it you’ll find:

  • My exact system I used to triple my subscribers growth in a month (takes just 15 minutes per day to write the Notes).

  • How to use my custom GPT to adapt it to your niche and audience (+ prompts)

  • How to use my custom GPT to grow outside of Substack (+ prompts)

  • As well as:

    • [NEW] My brand new Claude skill for writing viral Notes

    • My custom GPT Notes Writer trained to write Substack Notes that go viral. I just upgraded its training using tons of data to sharpen it even more.

    • The right way to use the Notes Writer in order to turn likes into subscribers (like me, Jeff and Daniel and many more). Three SIMPLE steps to achieve it (you do the first two only once).

    • AI Prompting Strategy to help you write more relatable Notes based on data collected for your audience.

    • My Content Strategy: what type of Notes get the most traction - I incorporated this in the custom GPT.

    • My Engagement Strategy to attract new subscribers that are convertible to paid. You’ll have three modes:

      • EASY: engage with at least 5 new accounts per day

      • HARD: engage with at least 10 new accounts per day

      • TURBO: engage with at least 15 new accounts per day

    • A set of 11 Notes Templates (including the one that got me 10 200 likes and 167 subscribers) I’m using with a short guide on how to write them and an example from my Notes:

      • Image [with Canva template]

      • Opinion

      • Mini story

      • Mini listicle

      • Mini how-to

      • Mini analysis

      • Success story

      • Personal update

      • Personal Story (based on my first viral Note with 10k+ likes)

      • Journey (based on my second viral Note with 2k+ likes)

      • Comparison

      • Plus all the templates I incorporate in the Viral Notes Writer Claude skill

      Image with simple text are performing well. They are highly re-stackable. I’ve prepared a Canva template you can easily edit (see resources below).

    • My Notes Guiding Principles on how to use Notes to gain convertible subscribers. A set of short rules about:

      • How to write powerful hooks

      • What types of Notes to write currently

      • How to engage with others on the platform

    • List of 17 types of Notes Ideas you can easily craft. If you don’t want to stick to my templates, you can use these as references in case you get stuck.

    • My list of 17 Rules of Short Form Writing I’ve proven to be working on Substack. I used them to train the GPT and to create the Claude skill. The majority of these rules also work on Medium, X, LinkedIn, Quora. You can use them anywhere.

    • And how to use the Viral Notes Writer for X, Bluesky and LinkedIn

• Link to the automation template that helps you automatically repost Notes to social media.

You have all this packed in The Viral Notes Writer System course (value $197).

If you’re serious about your Substack monetization, make this post your daily engagement routine. Share your posts, then read and join the conversation in the comments of the other members’ posts. This is how we grow!

If you’re not yet in the Writing Challenge, NOW IS the best time to join.

VIPs: You have new gifts, so that you write for engagement, for conversion and for discoverability 👇

Here’s what you need to do now:

1. Add yourself to the Accountability tracker, so that you have a chance to win the award (a spotlight with me to get more exposure of your Substack)

2. Share a link to your posts in the comments below so that we can find it, read, comment, like, and share it!

3. Make this challenge for your daily engagement workflow - Check other people’s posts in the comments of this post. Find something you like to read more about and give it a like, comment and share - that’s how you grow faster (and you help others grow too).

Anyone from the Unplugged community can participate.

Let’s do this!!
