New to Substack

How long did it take to get your first 10, 50, 1k, 5k followers? I have 5 subscribers and I have been promoting my posts across various social media platforms from LinkedIn to IG (small followings). I am posting a lot of curated lists with affiliate links. I am also writing about personal experiences while trying to maintain a cool girl internet lore.

Also wondering, at what point should paid subscriptions be turned on. I understand that it takes a long time to build - just trying to learn as much as I can.

Thank you for reading.

brand new to tts

Hi guys, I just started posting on tts literally last week and am looking for an account audit/advice - started with a few products I had around my house, these vids would get stuck at 2 views all day. I just got some popular products today and started posting them, with slightly more traction - better background, sometimes face in, that made a difference. However I am seeing accounts with garbage videos get more views than me - wondering if my account is broken or tts algo needs more time. It just seems odd when I am viewing videos that looks like a middle schooler made them that those would have thousands of views. I am still learning the difference between BOF, BOF 20.0, MOF and TOF. I am doing a lot of voiceover with my own voice, and a few clips with someone else's voice. Would LOVE to get some insight on if I need to jump ship with this account or ride it out. I know it's a long game and not overnight success but I want to make my first sale my first month. It can't be THAT difficult. Thank you!!

brand new on shop my and looking for feedback

Hi guys, i am brand new to shop my and still trying to figure out how it works. I wanted to get some opinions on my page/setup. To anyone who built from the ground up, how hard was it to get organic traffic? I have a couple of accounts: personal ig, and 2 tiktoks: one had 9k followers and all of my pivot posts to fashion are flopping, and the newish tiktok I have around 250 followers. Help a girl out! What is the best direction to take marketing this? Also would love to hear what kind of income people are making with tiny followings!! I can see that two people marked me as trusted - how did they do this and why does this matter? Thanks so much: https://shopmy.us/shop/miamieditorialist
