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. 🙌

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. 😂 😅
