Advice on why I'm not gaining new subscribers
Hi everyone, I'm wondering if anyone can offer some advice. I have a Substack on a niche topic that I *know* people are interested in - how to get published. I've been in the field for 16 years and am an expert on this.
But I can't seem to grow my Substack beyond 3k subscribers; I've been stuck there for 6 months.
-I post weekly with a mix of free content on how to get published and paid content on how to write and edit your book. Some of my posts are genuinely insightful conversation starters
-I post several notes each week
-I engage with other posts from similar writers, either restacking with my own comments or liking or commenting
-I have a really good ratio of conversion to paid subscribers (13%) but that will slow down if I'm not gaining new subscribers
-My back end is pretty much sorted such as my landing page, etc
-I cross post to my other platforms
But it's only my existing subscribers engaging with my content - others don't seem to see it.
What can I do to get the algorithm to promote my posts so that I get more than the 2 subscribers a day I'm currently getting? I'd really value any insight or ideas, particularly from those that have more than 3k subscribers.
Thank you!
