How to Grow Your Substack Subscribers (Even As A New Writer)
6 simple things you can do today to grow your audience
Your Substack isn’t growing because no one knows you exist.
Harsh? Yeppo.
But as a new writer, you’re fighting for attention in an ocean full of voices. Hitting ‘publish’ and waiting for readers to roll in doesn’t work anymore.
Today, I have over 6,000 readers reading my stuff.
But a few years back I had no audience. I was publishing to the void.
Substack is an incredible place to start writing online this year.
Here’s how to grow your Substack, even if you’re starting from zero.
1. Find your N-word
99% of you passion writers don’t want to hear this.
And that’s why most of you fail.
The reason? You have no niche. Many writing gurus tell you to be niche-less. But that’s a stupid lie. THEY ALL HAD A NICHE when they started out and only expanded to generic mumbo-jumbo after having gathered tens of thousands of readers.
Don’t get fooled. Don’t be a sheep.
Writing without having a niche is the perfect recipe for slow reader growth.
