I had one note go viral, it kind of still is I think, and so far it got me 1600 new subs (I'm new here and was at 300 a week ago when this started). I'm grateful but also feel like I'm scamming them or like I didn't earn this... they signed up without reading my writing, right? Is that a crazy reaction?

I didn’t know. Can you make money from Notes too?

Mr. Sami Sharaf, you are not the only one. I had no clue either. And I have been writing on Medium.com and trying to seriously get my Substack Newsletter off the ground.

This is a great feature. I can’t wait to “use” it for the first time :)

Thanks for sharing the update on Notes, Kristina. I am new to Substack and still finding my way around the platform so posts like this are helpful. You've inspired me to post a daily note. 🙂

I rarely get any subs via notes. Only followers…

In my first days on Substack I have only written notes—no newsletter, zero posts. But today I already got my first subscriber 😯

Hi Krista, of course there's more to it but yes. People might have been following me for a while and then one post on Notes made the difference.

This can be an idea, a photo, a quote, a question, a life lesson shared.

A friend of mine is writing al lot about US politics she's getting new paid subscribers via Notes.

Another one is writing about Michael Luhmann Medium is the message, and this way got a new paid subscriber.

Since it's here all about recurring income, Substack calculates then how much money you could make with this one person.

Monthly costs 9 this would be 108 or annually 90 bucks or founding tier.

If 2 or 3 subscribe they add this to the the other recurring income so that they'll tell you what the ARR annual recurring income will be.

Does this help?

Hi Jeannette 👋

Notes is a wonderful and lovely space to be. I'm there 2-5 x per day posting some thoughts or slices of life.

I live to connect with other stackers through gardening, corporate life, marketing, my newsletter but most importantly my personality

I love gardening and art and will share about that too. So happy to find a place where we're people first!

What an insightful read, Kristina, thank you! I had totally diverted my attention to X, but you're giving proof that Notes is also the place to be! You'll be seeing more of me there!
