r/Substack_Best

Hello! I have been thinking recently about substack, and haven't really found any success in my personal substack, nor really any inspiration. I was brainstorming ideas for a possible substack publication today, and decided on one idea which I think could be good. It's sort of inspired by 'This American Life', but basically, it would feature a weekly themed article following 1-2 true stories taking place across America, be it in big cities or small towns. I think this could be a really good idea, but I wanted to know what others thought. could this work? I would have to somehow get a way for people to submit their stories that fit under the weeks theme. does this idea sound interesting, or do you think it is boring? let me know any critique you have, as well as any ideas you have. thanks for your help!

Hi everyone, newer to Substack and honestly trying to learn the platform the right way instead of falling into the “grow to 10K subscribers overnight” crash-course rabbit hole 😭

For those of you who’ve actually built engaged communities here organically, what helped the most in the beginning?

Was it Notes consistency, networking with other writers, article quality, finding a niche, restacks, etc.?

I just launched my page, Modern Love Notes, which focuses navigating relationships, but from a get-yourself-together perspective not empty validation, so I’m trying to figure out what actually works on Substack long term versus what just creates vanity metrics.

Would genuinely appreciate any advice from some of the more seasoned writers here 🤍
