Hmm, I've noticed many people that posts notes with some type of consistency in them like in format or something like series. They got really a lot of subs.

Then I've seen many who posts random and have few subs.

I wanna know do consistency of your notes type either format, category or something else matters for getting subs? How what should be the play range, ground, how broad or narrow according the psychology of user it should be?

Love to hear from your experience.

What's a more right funnel in substack

Notes→ Profile visit → subscribe

Or

Notes→ posts →read post →subscribe

I mean from which funnel you got the most?

Also I send my newsletter through beehiiv not substack, I transfer those substack subs email into beehiiv.

And for that reason I think my substack posts not get enough early likes so it can go further, is it right?Should I send through substack?

Love to hear your suggestions.

Is that a restriction to post social media stuff like memes or videos (that I do not necessarily own) as notes? Can it get my account banned?

I've a newsletter where I publish unusual amazing science and history type of stories/blogs. I send on every Sunday. So previously when i had 20-60 sub I used to get around 30-40 open rate. But now I've 140 sub and this I'm getting 30 percent open rate in recent sends.

Is 30% open rate normal in science stories/blogs niche?

Maya is having another option (which is not real) instead the direct only option of reducing yourself for being free of suffering.

I create, see, and choose the second option.

The very refusal of fact is Maya. So I'm the one who does not acknowledge it, so I'm the maya.

Now Krishna being a principle that says ego can only be free of suffering in its reduction, so devoted to Krishna only will mean choosing the direct only option which is acknowledgement of what is, so no need to creating other false option hence free from maya.

Now in yesterday days the best thing I always wanted to understand clearly was the analogy of observation or atma avalokan as the light in the room.

It's a quality not action though I don't know exactly what it means, but it's not a additional work. Like many and previously sometimes I've done like sit and focus hard on all those things, they're all sh!t.

So as said it's the light, which doesn't act but in its presence the process go good.

Because our nature is to know, to see and whatever is seen is direct seen so its fact, but after that we don't acknowledge it at some levels of our consciousness (mind whatever), and most importantly act on the avoidance of fact, even we say or it feels we are acting on the fact.

So it's more of a attitude, a rigorous attitude, a scientific approach towards myself. It's practice of gradually disowning of what comes in our mind, feeling, thoughts or action.

This disowning which is not sticking aggressively to our thoughts, feelings, action (TFA😅), will give us a gap between them and I, which then I think this will allow clear seeing without distorting it.

I was discussing things with Claude AI, so said it to write question. Love to hear from your experience -

I'm building a curiosity-driven science newsletter called ScienceClock (think "wait, that's real?" type stories). Currently at 110 subscribers with a 30-40 percent open rate, growing through Reddit and Substack mainly.

I've mapped out a rough model and wanted reality-check from people who've actually built newsletters:

**Growth assumption:**

Targeting 2,000 subs in roughly 4-6 months (and around 10k in a year) through Reddit, Substack Notes, Beehiiv recommendation network, and crosspromos. Realistic or delusional? (I've got almost 100 subs previous month)

**Revenue model:**

- 0 to 2,000 subs — basically zero revenue, maybe small affiliate income

- 2,000+ subs — start pitching direct sponsors at roughly $20-30 per placement (1/100th of subscriber count in dollars), 4 sends/month, one sponsor per send

- 10,000 subs — launch paid membership at $4-8/month targeting ~0.5-1% conversion

**Specific questions:**

1. Is the 1/100th dollar sponsor pricing formula realistic or am I underselling/overselling?

2. At what subscriber count did you land your first sponsor?

3. Is 0.5-1% paid conversion at 10,000 subs reasonable for a science curiosity niche?

4. Anyone used Beehiiv + Substack together — Substack for discovery, Beehiiv as master list?

5. What actually moved the needle for you between 100 and 2,000 subscribers?

At what subscriber count (also open rate), should I buy the plan to use ad network.

Like what are cpm really by your experience and when can it at least match the plan cost?

Considering I send 4 times a month?

Love to hear your suggestions.
