That's weird. I just started doing that last week. At the end of every Medium article, I leave a CTA to subscribe to my Substack. I haven't had any traction yet, but I will at least write 30 articles on Medium with a CTA to my Substack and see how that goes. Seemed like a damn good idea at the time. Guess I was on to something. I only thought about it because my Substack is growing at a snail's pace, and I wanted to get some traction. So, let's see what happens.

sorry for typo mistake unable to edit comments here. I meant "always" not "alwats"- that was a typo error. Sorry about that, I should have checked before clicking "submit"

Amazing! Words can't express my gratitude 🙏 for this helpful article! I was thinking of moving all my Medium posts to Substack, but, you helped me in avoiding a silly move that I was about to do. Really appreciate how you explained the procedure for making use of both the platforms while also taking care of SEO issues. You alwats hit on the painful spot and show the solution spot-on. This is what beginner writer like me are looking out for...Thanks again. God Bless you!

The CTA trick is really smart. I used the friends link, but linking to Substack is much better.

Yeah it really does. Since I started doing it 4 years ago, it’s been quite a cool trick

That's very useful, thank you Burk. Do you edit the text when you post on Medium, or paste it as-is?
