Looking for advice on growing a niche on Substack
Hi everyone!
I’m relatively new to Substack and would love to learn from people who have been here longer.
I’m building a very specific niche around making technical concepts easier to understand through visual, hand-drawn doodles. I’ve noticed that when I share this kind of content on other platforms, it does get some reach.
But I’m struggling to understand how discovery works on Substack itself.
How do you get your work in front of the right audience here, especially when you’re trying to build a niche rather than just write about broad topics?
And how do you get meaningful feedback from readers — to understand whether what you’re creating is actually useful?
Would love to hear what worked (or didn’t work) for people who have grown a niche on Substack. Thanks! 🙂
