So…I’m curious whether writestack.io will use these findings to generate top notes ideas for you based on on the analytics you’ve done here. It’s such a great tool!

WriteStack relies more on your writing style rather than always go for best practices. As your writing style changes, the AI will adapt :>

I don't know how many words this post of yours is (it clearly doesn't matter, we're unconditional when the research and presentation is tops!) The reader also feels cared for by you as you look out for our best interest too. Some hoarders would keep it all for themselves. 😮 It is all fascinating to me and eye-opening too! I'm just getting started here on Substack and am very glad I found you! Thank you. 💐

This is super interesting! I have t seen much information on this. I’ve been struggling to figure out the “rules” of notes, other than it’s the source of followers and subscribers.

Solid and sensible analysis. While statistically based and clearly empirical, this Note was well researched, actionable and philanthropic. Thank you very much madam.

Interesting. Before reading this article, I felt like note engagement was something Magical - Almost lightning in a bottle. But now I think there might be some method to the madness. I think I will start to use your suggested note template for daily notes and see the results for myself.

In my short time on substack I have noticed some of these trends. This is laid out in a way I think I can start implementing it.

Wow, this is a game changer. Worth the price of premium subscription to Write Build Scale alone.

Thank you for this.

Inspires me to use one of these techniques each time

Teaches me there is always something new to learn

Motivates me to see if I've used these tips in my own writing in the past

Great article

I grew up a fatherless African-American boy in Washington Heights, a predominantly Dominican neighborhood where George Washington once lived. The streets were filled with the War on Drugs, and I spent 54 years of my life navigating that reality and trying to survive it.

When COVID came, it took almost everything from me—my life as I knew it, my relationships, and eventually my mother. I went through a psychological storm and fell into addictions with alcohol and cigarettes while trying to understand what my life had become.

Somewhere in that darkness, I began writing. At first it was just a way to keep my mind together and remember the sacrifices it took to survive the streets and the battles of my life. But as I kept writing, I realized something important: I didn’t just have a talent for writing—I had a talent for surviving.

From that pain and recovery I created a storytelling form and company called Poetic Cinema, turning my experiences into art, books, and a living archive of memory and survival.

My name is Vernon, though many people in my community know me as Benson. Through my writing I became known as The Black Knight of Washington Heights, telling stories about survival, humanity, and the strength it takes to keep going.

What a treasure trove of information. I will be implementing these immediately. Becoming a paying subscriber was my best move this week.
