I analyzed my 4,553 Substack Notes with Claude. Here are the 5 templates that bring subscribers consistently.
I got 1M+ views on Notes. And 786 new subscribers in the last 30 days. The data says you don't have to go viral to get them. Plus: 5 Note templates that bring me subscribers consistently cheat sheet
“Many writers complain of slow growth right now on Substack. I did see some slowdown in the last few days as well.
Usually, I get around 15–30 new subscribers per day and right now it’s slow. What’s your observation?
On the positive side: my conversion rate is up to 6.5% and I love it :)”
Wait wait wait…
That was the opening of my previous Notes analysis I did one year ago.
I’m actually NOT seeing any slowdown this summer and many Unplugged members who use my Viral Notes Writer tools to grow too.
Proof?
A few days ago Lisa Garvey sent me this:
One of her Notes just hit 22,997 views and brought her 134 new subscribers. And now most of her notes are taking off too.
My Notes?
I opened my own stats from WriteStack and saw this:
I got 1M views on my Notes since the beginning of 2025.
Yeah, I know…that’s vanity.
So here’s the actual result…
I had two almost viral Notes recently, each bringing hundreds of subscribers. They never reached 1k likes, but look at this:
The first one got me 262 subs out of 763 likes. That’s 34 subscribers per 100 likes. The other one brought 346 subs from 509 likes. That’s even more - 68 per 100 likes! Both Notes also brought paid members.
Here’s proof:
Now compare that to my most viral Note ever - the “my mom” story. 10,000 likes. 164 subscribers. Not even 2 per 100 likes. Zero paid subscribers.
See the difference?
You don’t have to go viral.
You have to write the right type of Notes. The ones that bring subscribers that are ready to become paid members. And don’t get me wrong - paid subscribers come when you have a strong offer and you work with your free subscribers in the first 30 days after subscribing. They don’t come directly from Notes, although it happens - like with those two Notes above.
So. Write the right type of Notes to get subscribers, not like.
I realized that a while ago and changed my entire Notes strategy. I also updated the Viral Notes Writer so that my paid members can replicate what I do.
I got 786 subscribers from my Notes in the last 30 days.
Yes, there’s one peak from the second viral Note. But that’s not important. Look at the chart BEFORE and AFTER the peak - that’s the important part. Consistent subscribers, every single day, from ordinary Notes. Most of them bring just a couple each.
Which is why this game is also about quantity, not only quality.
So. In this post I’m gonna show you the only 5 templates you need to make Notes deliver subscribers that convert to paid. Consistently.

Now, before I show you the analysis, l have to tell you this wasn’t always like this. You saw my previous analysis intro, I had many many slowdowns.
When I first started on Substack Notes didn’t work for me. For months.
I posted every day into the void. No replies. No likes. No subs. Every day I thought about quitting. Just another social media that I can’t make work because of my stupid corporate writing.
Then my “my mom” Note blew up. 10,000 likes! I thought I cracked it.
164 subscribers. No conversions, even on the backend…
And my next Notes? Straight back to nothing.
I was guessing. Writing what felt good, copying what looked viral, hoping.
Then I remembered my corporate brain is actually a leverage.
So last year I exported everything and analyzed my 1,611 Notes with ChatGPT. It helped. Until it didn’t. Substack changed.
October 2025. Notes brought me 92 subscribers. The WHOLE month:
I was desperate….I thought I lost it…Substack changed and I lost track of how it works.
So I did what I always do when that happens.
I looked at the data with AI.
And I found the patterns that deliver subscribers.
That was the moment I switched my strategy focus from virality to subscriptions. And those analyses became regular. Almost monthly.
And in this post I’m giving you the most recent analysis - the one from this week.
I gave Claude my full Notes data, all 4,553 of them, and asked the question I should’ve asked from day one: which Notes actually bring subscribers?
I turned this post into a cheat sheet you can print and follow. Subscribe for free and you’ll get the download link here.
The deep teardown covers 2,146 Notes out of 4,553 - the ones I published from January 1 to August 10, 2026.
And before you ask - YES, the data revealed some shocking truths:
1,891 of my Notes brought zero subscribers - proof it’s a quality game.
13 of my 31 most-liked Notes brought ZERO subscribers - proof you don’t need virality.
My list grew on 210 quiet Notes I can repeat on purpose - proof it’s also a quantity game.
Plus the almost viral two designed to explode in subscriptions, not likes - proof these templates work.
Let me show you.
How I got the data (this changes everything)
Substack standard Notes analytics are not enough. Likes, restacks, replies. That’s about it in the app. And you have to look one by one. It’s literally impossible to see patterns.
So I connected StackContacts (Finn Tropy’s tool) to Claude. It pulls the full metrics behind every Note. For each of my 2,146 Notes I can now see:
Impressions, split by source (feed, outside my bubble, search, notifications)
Profile visits the Note generated
Follows, likes, comments
Free subscribers it brought
Paid subscribers it brought
That last two are the the name of the game.
Because a like is someone tapping a heart and scrolling on. A subscriber is someone handing you their email.
Substack’s algorithm optimizes for the second one. There’s a one-tap Subscribe button right next to your Note. Not Follow. Subscribe. That’s intentional. The entire platform is designed to help you grow.
You have to stop asking “which Notes got the most likes” and start asking “which Notes actually grew my list”.
Likes and subscribers are barely related
Months ago, I’d expect my most-liked Notes to be my best subscriber magnets. That’s literally the premise of my post from last year. Now I know it’s….
Wrong.
I asked Claude to run the correlation between likes and subscribers across all my Notes. Once I remove the two viral peaks (more on those in a minute), it’s 0.29.
Weak. More likes did almost nothing to predict more subscribers.
Restacks? 0.13. Basically ZERO.
Most Substack gurus will tell you restacks are key. My data shows they’re not. They lean on gut feelings, I look at data. Restacks don’t bring subscribers.
31 of my Notes got 50+ likes. 13 of them brought zero subscribers.
Here are a few of those popular, zero-subscriber notes, word for word:
“The scariest moment as a writer? Pressing publish. The second scariest? Waiting to see if anyone cares. Keep publishing anyway.” 58 likes. 0 subscribers.
“Write like you explain things to a friend. Not like you’re submitting homework. Nobody subscribes to homework.” 52 likes. 0 subscribers.
“A lot of beginners think successful writers wake up inspired. They don’t. They sit down uncertain. Write anyway. Doubt half of it. Publish anyway.” 51 likes. 0 subscribers.
Good Notes. People liked them, felt seen, tapped the heart, scrolled on.
Nobody cared who wrote them.
That would hurt a newbie. For me it’s data point.
What a Note actually does before someone subscribes
Claude helped me map the funnel. It’s stupidly simple once you see it.
Note creates impressions. Some impressions become profile visits. Some profile visits become subscribers.
My numbers for that path:
567,867 impressions turned into 9,289 profile visits. That’s 1.64%.
9,289 profile visits turned into 929 subscribers. That’s exactly 10%.
Look at that second number. 1 in 10 people who land on my profile subscribes. My profile converts like crazy. That’s why I keep repeating to my VIPs and coaching clients that your profile description matters A LOT, and it’s not a bio or diary.
Back to the data.
Let’s go one step back. Only 1.64% of people who SEE a Note bother to visit the profile. 61 impressions for one profile visit. 611 impressions for one subscriber.
So here’s the rule: the job of a Note is to earn the profile tap. Your profile description does the work to get a subscriber.
Hint: a hover over of your profile name on top of the Note also displays your profile description. Don’t think people have to click to see it.
A like happens in the feed and dies in the feed. A profile visit means your Note made someone curious enough to think “who is this person?”
Two different behaviors. And I’d been optimizing for the wrong one for too long.
So which Notes earn the tap? I split all 2,146 into 4 types and compared them.
The 4 types of Notes, ranked by what they actually do
Those are not the templates, we’re still analyzing here.
Claude gave me two rates, side by side: likes per 1,000 impressions, and subscribers per 1,000 impressions. Here’s the shocking truth:
Read that table slowly.
The aphorisms - the little wisdom lines - are 75% of everything I post. Solid likes per impression. And the WORST subscriber conversion: 0.42 per 1,000 impressions.
The image and community Notes get fewer likes. And they bring 10 to 20+ TIMES more subscribers for the same reach. That’s why we see a flood of “drop your like here” type of Notes. I tried it, it worked, and then I stopped doing it. Changed my community invites completely.
You don’t have to do things you don’t like to get results.
Read that again.
It’s true.
What then? Just get creative. I’ll show you below in the templates, but before that let’s break down what drove the most subscribers for me:
The whales: my 2 almost viral Notes (huge, rare, but unrepeatable)
Two Notes did almost all the work. The two viral notes from the intro.
“Woke up to 700 paid members today 🥳” Posted June 2 with a screenshot of the milestone. 763 likes, 13 restacks, 164 replies, 23,965 impressions, 2,514 profile visits, and 262 new subscribers.
“I’ve got 823 paid subscribers on Substack. I reached my first $20k month in May...” Posted July 4 with a screenshot, telling the honest story behind the numbers. 509 likes, 17 restacks, 117 replies, 26,164 impressions, 3,053 profile visits, and 346 new subscribers.
608 subscribers from 2 Notes.
When I take those two out, and look at the other 85 image Notes - they brought 24 subscribers. Twenty-four. Total.
So milestone screenshots can be enormous. But you can’t schedule “hit 700 paid members” for every other Tuesday. And you have to hit that milestone.
Post them every single time something real happens - a genuine milestone, a genuine screenshot.
“But Yana I’m not writing about Substack growth”
I know. Do it anyway.
Most people here are writing but they are also humans. When they see your milestones, they get curious. If you grow, they think you must be good, so they subscribe.
It’s human nature.
Problem is, you can’t manufacture these Notes.
The repeatable engine is the other one.
The tempting one: community invite Notes (I stopped doing these)
These are the Notes where I invite people to drop their link and promote themselves.
Here’s what they look like:
“Substackers with less than 500 subscribers. Drop your link below. Let’s help you grow. ✨” 46 likes, 33 replies, 23 subscribers.
“New writers under 1,000 subscribers. Drop your link below. Let’s help you grow. ✨” 90 likes, 80 replies, 9 subscribers.
“In 1 sentence: Who do you help with your Substack? Here’s your chance to promote your work. Let’s connect, follow and recommend.” 58 likes, 43 replies, 4 subscribers.
But I stopped doing these.
Look closer at the numbers. My best one brought 23 subscribers. The next: 9. Then 4. And behind them, a tail of the same Note that brought almost nothing - 31 to be exact. A few hit. Most didn’t.
And the ones that hit? It’s an engagement pod not a real Note.
Everyone hates these Notes in their feed, me included. I had to try. And I stopped.
People reply with their link and scroll on. The subscribers you get subscribe to be subscribed back, not to read you or pay you.
It’s just not who I am.
And it’s also NOT serving my goal - get subscribers who convert.
I sell without selling, and I’m not going to grow without growing. Not that type of growing at least :D
But the data inside these Notes is gold:
Look at the reply counts. 33. 80. 43. My average Note gets barely 2 replies.
That’s the MECHANISM is real. Replies pull people to your profile.
It’s not restacks.
Conversation converts.
A link drop engagement pod is just the cheap way to trigger it.
The honest way to trigger it?
Ask a real question people actually want to answer. Think not just people, but your buyers.
My raccoon Note (you’ll meet it in Template 4 below) got 10 replies and a subscriber with zero engagement bait. Same mechanism, done clean.
So no, I’m not telling you to run engagement pods. I’m just showing you what they accidentally proved to me.
The 2 Notes that fooled me. And the 210 that didn’t.
There’s a trap hiding in my own data.
I had to work with Claude for days to come up to the final version of this analysis.
My two viral Notes brought me 608 subscribers.
If I only studied the top of the list (like I used to do when I optimized for likes), I’d learn the wrong lesson. Go viral! Post milestones! Both worked.
But neither repeats consistently. I hit 700 paid members exactly once. I hit my first $20k month exactly once. You can’t build a weekly schedule out of once-in-a-lifetime moments.
Now the other end of that list.
1,891 of my 2,121 Notes brought zero subscribers. That’s 89%.
Ouch again.
Most were the wisdom lines from earlier. Likes, then nothing.
The real story is in the middle.
210 Notes each brought 1 or 2 subscribers. 232 subscribers in total. Quiet, ordinary Notes. No screenshot or milestones. No “drop your link below”. Just normal Notes that made a few people curious enough to subscribe.
That middle matters more than the spikes for one simple reason: You can repeat it.
Strip out the milestones and every engagement invite, and 189 plain content Notes still brought 206 subscribers. So I asked Claude to read ALL of them and looked for what repeats.
Patterns. They become templates.
Those 189 Notes are your Notes content strategy. Add a milestone here and there and you have it.
That’s where the consistent growth of subscribers is.
The goal is simple: turn some of your zero-sub Notes into 1-2-sub Notes. That’s the whole game.
Claude helped me get the 5 best patterns and turn them into templates - they’re near the end of this post.
But before we get to them, few important things…because these templates won’t work without them.
When to post
Last year I told you timing matters, post in peak windows. I have to correct myself, because I have better data now.
For ordinary Notes? Timing does almost nothing.
My daytime aphorisms convert at 0.47 subscribers per 1,000 impressions. Overnight: 0.41. Same nothing, different hour.
A Note that doesn’t earn the profile tap won’t earn it at 9am or 9pm.
But for subscriber-type Notes? Timing matters A LOT.
Community and milestone Notes posted between midnight and 5am my time (that’s US evening - I’m in Europe) converted at 4.47 subscribers per 1,000 impressions. The same types during my daytime: 1.50. Triple.
By day of week: Tuesday wins (0.83 subs per 1k impressions), Saturday flops (0.43). Tuesday doubles Saturday.
My rule now: timing won’t rescue a weak Note, but it multiplies a strong one. Schedule your best Notes into US evening. Don’t bother timing the throwaways - they perform the same whenever.
And yes, I schedule in advance. Substack now has a native Notes scheduler, but it’s still not easy to use, so I use this Claude MCP and WriteStack.
What gets likes vs what gets subscribers, side by side
Here’s pretty much the whole analysis in one table:
There’s nothing wrong or right here. Neither column is bad. Likes signal the algorithm and they feel nice. But so do comments and subscriptions. That’s how my 2 whales happened.
So if you’re posting to grow a real business? The right column pays. The left one just feels like it does.
Still, it’s ok to have some mindset shifts that get thousands of likes every time.
How to write Notes that get subscribers
Before you get to the templates, you need to know this. It’s key to getting subscribers that are likely to become customers.
The points below only add to the writing I shared in my previous analysis - that is still valid, please read it here, it’s free:
1. First and Foremost: Write the Note to earn the profile tap, not the heart. Before you post, ask: does this make someone curious about NOT who I am and what I do on Substack, but what I sell in my paid tier - that’s KEY! Your Notes content and topics have to come from your Substack paid tier, not from what happened to you today (unless you sell that, of course). If you take just one thing from this analysis - let that one be it. Even Substack themselves recommended it to Bestsellers.
2. Start conversations. Replies predict subscribers, not likes. Ask a real question people want to answer. Start a genuine conversation, as if you’re in a cafe talking to a friend over a cappuccino.
3. Skip the engagement bait. “Drop your link below” threads convert, but they are not authentic. I ran 34 of them, a few hit, most flopped, and the subscribers they bring come for a subscribe-back, not to buy. I stopped. Get the replies honestly instead: a real question beats a link thread, and nobody rolls their eyes at it.
4. Post your milestones with a screenshot, every single time. 100 subscribers, a bestseller badge, a revenue month, first paid subscriber, anything goes - post the screenshot. My “700 paid members” Note has brought 262 subscribers so far. You won’t hit a milestone every week, but never let one pass quietly. Few days ago I hit 1,000 paid members so I posted another milestone. And today I saw myself #1 Rising on the bestseller chart, so I posted another one. These Notes work. Even if you don’t write about Substack growth, this works. DO IT, here’s proof:
5. Put real numbers in, and show them. Plain-text proof (”I added $4,014 in ARR last month”) converts about twice as well as a smart sentence. Add the screenshot and it jumps even more. Specificity sells, vagueness doesn’t - it’s just how human brain works.
6. Schedule your best Notes into US afternoon and evening. For me that’s evening to midnight and a bit beyond. Can’t post it live, so I schedule. I wasted too much time overlooking time slots, don’t do this. It matters. I know this from my previous analysis and it popped up here as well.
7. Reply to every comment on these Notes. Every reply is a person one tap away from your profile. I get a visible bump in subscriber growth on the days I clear my comments. It’s free growth sitting in your notifications. No excuses! I have almost 20k subscribers now, and more than 1k paid members and I still manage to answer every comment. Don’t overlook this, don’t roll your eyes on it. It will pay you back.
8. Keep the aphorisms, but demote them. They warm up the feed, they keep you visible, they occasionally land. I keep getting “Oh I needed to read this today” type of comments and every time I see them I smile. Dopamine - we all need it. Just don’t call them a growth strategy - think of them more like a seasoning, not the meal.
9. Last but not least - volume. About 10 Notes a day, on the side of my 9-5 job? Yes, it’s possible. Does it worth it? Yes. If a Note gets 1-2 subs, 10 Notes can get 10-20 subs. It’s quality but it’s also quantity game. Substack themselves recommend 3 to 5 Notes per day. I’m an overachiever.
And no, I don’t write them from scratch. My AI minions do the typing.
I built the Viral Notes Writer for exactly this. It’s trained on this analysis, my templates, and my voice rules, and it writes my daily batch of subscriber-getting Notes in about 15 minutes. It’s the tool Lisa and hundreds of my most committed paid member are using.
It’s a custom GPT and a Claude skill, and it’s 100% free for my paid members, as usual, together with all my other AI tools. That’s what I do: I test, I prove with data, then I hand my people the tools.
Paid members see here a download link to the Viral Notes Writer. Upgrade to get free access to my most valuable AI tool - the one that brings you subscribers and makes dreams come true (like Lisa said - she already got 134 subscribers from it).
Or get it here at a standard price.
What to stop, and what to do instead
This is the part I couldn’t write in the analysis last year, because I didn’t have enough data to know I was wrong. Side by side:
I did every single thing in the left column. For months! Don’t do this. I dare you!
5 Note templates that bring subscribers consistently
Ok, time to get to the main course - the actual 5 templates you can copy today.
They don’t come from the whales or the link threads. I removed both on purpose - you can’t repeat a milestone, and the link threads I quit for good reasons you just read.
They come from the 189 plain content Notes that quietly brought 1 or 2 subscribers each. Claude helped reading all of them, find the patterns and make templates out of them.
Each one below comes with a real Note of mine that brought subscribers - its actual numbers.
Use these templates to wrote your Notes, or give them to Claude or ChatGPT.
Or simply use my Viral Notes Writer like Lisa and many others did, here’s the download link again:
Paid members see here a download link to the Viral Notes Writer. Upgrade to get free access to my most valuable AI tool - the one that brings you subscribers and makes dreams come true (like Lisa said - she already got 134 subscribers from it).
Or get it here at a standard price.
Template 1. The build-in-public number drop
A specific real number, infused with your identity, no bragging.
Why it works: the exact figure stops the scroll, and “normal person with a job” makes people want the backstory. So they tap your profile.
Real Note example (20 profile visits, 1 subscriber):
“$5,512/month from 393 people. 8 hours/week of work. Still have my 9-to-5. Because I love it.”
Skeleton:
[Specific $ or subscriber number] from [small, real base].
[How little time you spend]. [Your ordinary constraint, e.g. still have my 9-to-5].
[One honest line about why you do it.]Note that this is also the exact shape of the viral Note that brought me 346 subscribers. It opened with 823 paid subscribers and a $20k month on the side of my 9-5, then told the honest story behind the numbers. Same template, just bigger moment that somehow provoked more emotion and went almost viral.
Template 2. The “what actually drove [result]” list
A short numbered list tied to a real result you got.
Why it works: the list promises a takeaway people can copy, the number makes it proof, and they check who you are.
Real Note (19 profile visits, 1 subscriber):
“The top 3 features that drove me 51 paid subs: a good welcome page, an AI tool, an engaged community. This is what sells.”
Skeleton:
The [number] things that drove [specific result I got]:
1. [thing]
2. [thing]
3. [thing]
[One blunt closing line.]Template 3. The turning-point micro-story
Your before state with a number, the one change, the after number, a short lesson.
Why it works: a real before and after reads as proof, and the numbers pull people in to see the full story.
Real Note (9 profile visits, 1 subscriber):
“September ‘24, I had 20 paid subscribers. I was invisible. Then I rewrote my offer in one sentence. Today? 465 paid subs.”
Skeleton:
[Date]. I had [small number or low state].
[The one thing you changed.]
Today? [Bigger number.]
[Short lesson, said plainly.]Template 4. The honest confession plus a question
A real, slightly funny admission about your own process, then a question inviting readers to share theirs.
Why it works: the confession makes you human, and the question drives replies. And replies are what pull people to your profile, remember?
Real Note (9 profile visits, 1 subscriber):
“Sometimes I know exactly what I need to write. And I still go reorganize my drafts like a raccoon arranging shiny trash. What’s your weirdest writing procrastination habit?”
Skeleton:
[An honest, specific, slightly funny thing you do instead of the work].
[Why it's a little embarrassing.]
[A question inviting readers to share theirs.]Note that this does the exact same thing like the “drop your links” type of Notes. The only BIG difference is that it invites real conversations, drives comments and profile visits, and bring subscribers that actually convert.
Template 5. The belief and its consequence
Name a line your readers say to themselves, then give the concrete consequence and a plain fix.
Why it works: it’s useful, a little contrarian, and it shows you understand the mechanics. People want more of that, so they check your profile.
Real Note (8 profile visits, 1 subscriber):
“’I give so much for free, I can’t charge now.’ Happens when you deliver everything for free for too long. You trained your readers to value free. Stop it.”
Skeleton:
"[A belief your reader holds, in their own words]."
[The concrete consequence of holding it.]
[The plain fix.]None of these need a milestone or a lucky day. You can write 2 or 3 of them this afternoon. That’s the point. The reliable growth lives in the repeatable middle, and now you have the 5 shapes it runs on.
“But Yana, I’m just starting, I have 40 subscribers...”
I hear you. I get this question every day, in DMs, in comments, everywhere.
Everything above works at your size too. But you have to translate my numbers to yours first. And you have to one more thing, here it is:
Do the math on YOUR reach. My data says roughly 611 impressions per subscriber. If your Notes get 100 impressions each, that’s about 1 subscriber per 6 Notes. Read that again. One per six. That’s not failure, that’s the math working. Most people quit at Note 30 thinking Notes don’t work for them. Notes were working. Their expectations weren’t. Just keep working.
Fix your profile BEFORE you chase the tap. Exactly 1 in 10 people who visit my profile subscribe, and that number is earned. My bio says who I help and with what. My pinned post sells. If your profile doesn’t name the problem you solve, every profile tap you earn is wasted. Fix that first, it takes 20 minutes. Here’s proof this works:
If you find this a pain, become a VIP members, I’ll help you do this the same way I did for Luke.
Post 3-5 Notes a day, not 10. I do 10 because I have my AI minions. Start with 3 good ones from the templates above. Templates 4 and 5 work from day one, you need zero numbers for them. And for templates 1-3: small honest numbers count too. “Day 30 on Substack. 18 subscribers. Here’s the one thing that surprised me” is a number drop. Being at the start IS your story, use it.
Engage for real, not in pods. Skip the “drop your link” or “sub for sub” threads - I DARE YOU! These will bring you subscribers who WON’T CONVERT!! Instead: comment genuinely on bigger Notes in your niche (a real answer, not “great post!”), and reply to every single comment you get on your own Notes. Remember: replies predict subscribers almost twice as well as likes. That’s true at 40 subscribers and at 14,000. Here’s my exact engagement SOP if you want to replicate it:
The system is the same at every size. Find what converts. Repeat it on purpose. You just start smaller.
How to use this analysis
Save this post as a PDF and give it to your AI. Ask it to adapt the Note types to your niche and your audience’s language.
Then get your own numbers. If you’re serious about Notes, connect StackContacts to Claude and look at your subscribers per Note, not just your likes. Your winning Note types might differ from mine. The method is what transfers: find what earns the profile tap, then make more of that.
I’ve mapped the full Notes system, the subscriber funnel, and my scheduling setup inside the QUEST.
And if you want the shortcut: the Viral Notes Writer does all of the above for you. You tell it your niche and your numbers, it writes subscriber-getting Notes in your voice using the templates and rules from this analysis. It takes my Notes task from hours to about 15 minutes a day, and it’s what brought Lisa her first take-off Notes.
Bottom line
I spent a year optimizing my Notes for likes. But likes and subscribers correlate at 0.27. Let that sink in.
1,891 of my 2,121 Notes brought zero subscribers. My 2 almost viral ones brought 608, and I can’t repeat either. But they both follow the 5 templates I gave you above.
What I CAN repeat: the 210 quiet Notes that brought 1-2 each, built on the 5 templates above.
Replies predict subscribers twice as well as likes. Profile visits predict them best of all. So: fewer wisdom lines, more of the 5 shapes, more real questions, screenshots when I earn them, scheduled into US afternoon and evening.
From 92 to 786 subscribers a month in under a year - this happened with the same effort, just different Notes.
Notes built for likes get you likes. Notes built to convert get you subscribers. And when one of those goes almost viral? You get a very good month.
Yana
P.S. You don’t have to figure Notes alone, I can build an customized AI minion for you that brings you subscribers on autopilot. Here’s where to start.
Another masterpiece Yana. I’m going to ingest all the learning!
And here is the latest information. 67,229 Impressions and 391 new subscribers! @Yana G.Y. your notes writer course is the reason this note and now my others are doing so well! Thank you for your guidance and suggestions. You are AMAZING! Now I am back at the Substack Quest to help me with the conversions and every other golden nugget you provide!
