Notes drove more than 60% of my growth to 10,000 subscribers. But most people I talk to post one or two a week, get crickets, and decide Notes don't work for them. The problem isn't Notes. It's reps. So I'm thinking about running a 5-day Notes challenge. One note a day for five days. I give you the prompt and the structure. You write it, post it, and report back. Small commitment. Real reps. Actual data on what works for YOUR audience. If you'd join, Drop a 👍 or comment below if you're in. Enough hands and I'll build it out for the community.

I just hit 10,000 subscribers on Substack. It feels like a big and very personal milestone because it represents all of the heart I've poured into building my portfolio business and newsletter audience. It also represents my commitment to helping people stop depending on one paycheck, one client, one platform, or one product. I looked at the poll where I asked you guys where you are on your Substack journey, and many of you are struggling to grow. I'm sharing this news today as encouragement and to show that anything is possible when you put your mind to it, including getting 10,000 subscribers. My Substack Notes Secrets mini course is now live in the classroom. This is where I share the entire system I used to hit this milestone and consistently get new subscribers to my 9-To-Thrive newsletter. If you're ready to grow your publication, I highly recommend you take the mini course. so tell me, how often do you publish your newsletter?
