Thanks! This was exactly what I needed to read today. I've been posting to my publication every Saturday for the last 3 weeks. And I have this Saturday's 80% written. And I was going, okay, now what? Because so far all my subscribers have been people who already know me. What I got from your post is that I need to revisit the content bucket idea. I need to post notes strategically in the multiple topic areas of my substack publication. That will not only tell people the topics I write about but also the algorithm. The trick will be how to do it in a way that doesn't feel like work. 😁 Since for me this is supposed to be fun and to find like-minded community.
I’m glad it was helpful. :) Since we can schedule notes now, I recommend doing notes as part of your workflow when you publish a post, after publishing it, go through it to find quotes and pieces you can pull out and turn into notes scheduled throughout the week.
I have another post about notes coming out next week which covers the more fun parts of the notes platform. :)

I tried your advice today — using a quote from my weekend post in a note — and I got my first subscriber who I didn’t already know. Thanks again!
Congrats! It's a great feeling when something we try actually works the way it's supposed to. :)
It is!
Thanks! I'll give that a try!
