Love the tips here, and the unconventional approach to the newsletter layout, as well as growth strategy! Thanks for sharing, Substack! I've been trying to grow my subscribers and I've had some decent jumps after certain interviews. But like you said, it's gotta be with people of greater "influence" (anyone else cringe when they say that word? Ha)

It's a bit too grand to call it a strategy, but it is interesting to see what provokes growth and what doesn't. But then growth isn't the be and end all! Thanks so much for reading.

Hi! Do you also track sources of new subscribers? Does substack as a platform contribute to getting new subscribers or it's only your effort on twitter, other social networks?

This is a timely post. I like it so much I shared in on our Medium post.

The authors of food newsletters should have sufficient information about cooking procedures or food properties, and I personally am not keen to study this issue. Thanks substack
