I ended up on here because I wanted to get a message out and a few people told me that I needed to use substack for that purpose. My substack ended up taking off and in the space of 8.5 months I've gotten almost 18,700 subscribers and 1.5 millions views despite having no following prior to entering here. That is an amazing degree of reach and something that I 100% owe substack for facilitating.

The thing I really like about this platform is that it incentives making good quality content and being genuine, which is very rare on the internet (I would not want to spend my time being a content creator otherwise), and has an audience which is also extremely receptive to it. I am also astonished that substack gives you access to your mailing list and makes it easy to export (as that is extremely generous on their part).

You all have a great business model and I hope I can continue to support it!

That's really incredible! I've had a (much smaller) but similar experience here in the past 3 weeks with almost 8K views! Congratulations to you—you have a new subscriber too!

Indirectly but not directly, still need to put more things into place first.

Midwestern doc..... I just wanted to say that I found your substack first and that led me onto more stacks after that.

Appreciate your writing more than you’ll ever know. Thank you

That is an incredible following in such a short amount of time. I have just started a marketing guide for small businesses on Substack, and wonder if I could interview you please about your phenomenal growth?
