I’ve been writing newsletters on Substack for the past two years. TWO YEARS.

That seems crazy to me — but, it’s true.

I have a Substack on education policy and another on consumer protection issues.

I must really like it or else I wouldn’t be there for two years, right?

Right!

I do enjoy writing newsletters/blog posts on Substack.

It’s a great way to connect with an audience that opts-in to your content.

You want the audience that wants you, right?

While Substack is taking action to improve discoverability and increase the chances that Google finds your posts, the reality is that a lot of the growth on Substack is up to the writer.

  1. Write amazing content. No substitute for this.
  2. Promote the hell out of your content
