It causes me mental anguish knowing that people are charging BIG money for Notes formulas!!!

You don’t need to be famous on Substack to have a note go wildly viral!
I cannot stress this enough!
You DO NOT have to be a bigwig on Substack to have one (or many) of your notes fly off the shelf.
You DO NOT need thousands of subscribers or followers to go viral on Notes.
You also DO NOT need to pay for Notes coaching or masterclasses to go viral.
I sent out a survey to 5,600+ subscribers a few weeks ago, asking a few simple questions. Some of the questions were essentially the same, but phrased differently.
If you could get help with one area of Substack right now, what would it be?
If you could learn ONE specific Substack skill from a short tutorial, what would it be?
What is the biggest thing you struggle with on Substack right now?
I can’t even begin to tell you how many times NOTES came up in the responses. How to write them and how to use them for Substack growth is a massive concern for most of you.
It genuinely pains me to see thousands of writers obsessing over how to go viral with Notes. The reason it pains me so much is that we all came to Substack to WRITE. Period. And then the onslaught of social media disguised in Substack clothing hit us, and here we are.
If chasing vanity metrics and virality is the biggest goal, we could have just stuck with toughing it out on traditional social media.
Keep in mind that going viral on Substack Notes still only keeps you within the Substack ecosystem. It does not necessarily translate into paid subscribers or external eyeballs on your work.
Having said that….
Let’s get you active on notes and hopefully summon the viral gods to come visit you! Below, we’ve got screenshots, instructions, and links to several viral note examples you can glean some intel from.
If you’re a free subscriber, please consider the following paywall an invitation, not a boundary. I created this specially for YOU…and you know it’ll be good, you wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t! 😉
