Stop asking:

What should I post today?

And start asking:

What conversation do I want to start today?

The creators who succeed on Notes aren’t always the ones posting the most.

They’re the ones who become recognizable.

Jess, the restack note framing is the one that most people get wrong, and you've nailed exactly why adding your perspective turns a share into an actual recommendation: which of the ten do you find creators resist the most?

Hi, Melanie! Thank you so much 😊 I’m going to start adding my perspective to the restack note more often and see how it goes! I think on substack most people are resisting the Video note. 😂 😅

Looking forward to getting your astute insights, Jess! I just made the classic restack mistake, LOL!

Jess, this is a great primer for anyone unsure of what to say in Notes. I've gotten into a rhythm over time, and am still tweaking, but I definitely do a balance among most of the things you've mentioned, so this was good positive reinforcement for me that I'm on the right track.

Some things hit, some things miss, but I think most important is besides having your own notes out there is engaging with the notes of others.

You nailed it, Melanie!! At least a third of our subscribers come from simply engaging on other people’s notes and posts rather than just our own writing. I’m glad my article was helpful for you. 🙌

Ok, everything's going to be great to try!

I had to stop and say thank you:

I have been restacking my Posts with more than one sentence. This is such a crisper method!

We make it so hard on ourselves. Cheers!🔮
