→ In the Notes Boost Challenge, we come together as a community to boost each others’ Notes by liking, restacking, and commenting on the Note to give it momentum in the algorithm.
Challenge participants have gained anywhere from 100 to 6000 new subscribers by focusing on authentic engagement and creating Notes that resonate.
Why it works:
This is the original Notes Boost.
It’s not about empty growth or algorithm tricks.
It’s about building genuine connections with other Substack writers and creators while improving your relationship to social media (which is what Notes is) and giving you more time to focus on doing what you love on Substack.
How it works:
These challenges are an add-on for Substack Writers at Work paid subscribers and Mastermind members.
The Notes Boost Challenges give you the epic growth that’s possible on Substack right now.
Substack Writers at Work gives you proven strategies (not just theories) to keep, engage, and convert those subscribers.
Does it really work?
Don’t take my word for it.
What people are saying:
“My subscribers grew by 42% in the last 90 days, from 2620 to 3729, and that is much higher than the previous 90 days, which had crawled along with a 5% a month growth rate. I got 700 new subscribers in March which is a record for me. I had two notes go viral (thousands of likes) and quite a few get into mid-high hundreds. An amazing lift.” —Ros Barber
“I nearly doubled my subscribers in the last 70 days.
But more than the numbers, it’s the connections that matter—writers who’ve become real friends.
That’s the part I never expected. And the part I’ll never take for granted.
Thank you Notes Boost Challenge.” —Heather Hausenblas
