The % of posts I've read on Substack in my first 2 weeks that have been genuinely helpful is remarkably high.

Oh, that's such amazing feedback, Matt. Welcome to Substack. I hope you are already enjoying it here! :)

I'm loving it. I'll love it more when I have my first billion subscribers. :)

Thank you for the feature, Sinem. Wouldn't have come even close to creating a Substack About Page without the guidance from WBS 🫶🏻 Appreciate you guys!

I love digging into your publication, Ilham. You are doing such great work! :)

Love it. Small tweaks to how your Substack is set up can drive more growth than just writing better content.

I am on that phase right now, improving and testing my brand look, my About page, my Sections, etc. But since I am starting these days to slow down due to a bit of burn out, maybe I will focus at my pace on making the right parts clearer and easier to say yes to :)

So much valuable information in this post! I will try to apply all three of these tweaks. Thank you, Sinem, and the Write Build Scale team for making this quality content available.

Hey Sinem, it’s been a while since I’ve seen a post from you guys and this popped up as just the right time ✨

Thank you for sharing these tips about the home page and DM’s 🫶🏻 if I haven’t already, I’ll be adding WBS to my list of recommendations - you guys are awesome ☺️

Thank you very much for this video. It helped me a lot to understand substack publication.

Thanks for the examples on how to implement the steps. Not many people do this.

This is exactly what I needed. I wanted to add the 'Subscribe' block on my homepage and began scrolling through Substack Help. What was I thinking?🤔 I immediately came back to WBS and went straight to this post.

I'm going to use it to gain subscribers and also to pitch my ''free assessment' and other digital products.✨

Thank you Sinem.💛

Specific to recommendations, I sent a few Loom videos to people whose writing I enjoyed and who I had been engaging with in comments and notes.

All very brief (~30 seconds) just saying hi and that I was recommending them. It went a long way to establishing connections and friendships to this day!
