This validates what I've been toying around with for my Substack. I have a lot to say and a lot of content I want to import from another platform, but didn't want to spam my readers. I've just learned how to properly use Sections as well so my content is categorized nicely.
Posting without sending emails allows you to post long content daily (for SEO purposes and search engines). Notes are short posts that aren't really evergreen to get traffic or exposure.
You’ve articulated something that’s been bugging me about moving work stuff to Substack. I’m going to implement this straight away and get do a once a week roundup instead. Thank you!
I learned so many Substack tips for you in the short time I’ve been on the platform! I use it as a newsletter first since I already have a dedicated blog.
So I'm really curious about this, because I too post daily on substack, but I do it in notes. I do a "daily dose of fiction (exactly 100 words) and I get usually anywhere from 20 -50 likes on it and maybe some restacks. I then take all the notes and pictures i send out (my substack is cat themed, we do lots of cat pics) on saturday for anyone who missed them. This rhythm seems to work for me. I get more engagement in notes though than I do in my newsletter. But I'm still getting engagement.
As usual, this was like you were reading my mind. Thank you!!! Such a simple thing, but I was stuck here, not wanting to annoy my subscribers. Who knew it was as easy as this.

Such a great strategy, Burk. I suggested this to a client and his publication was transformed into a powerhouse. Grew his revenue by 9000%!!!!
So are you saying posting, without email, is better than using notes?
No. Totally different thing.

Interesting. Curious as to why not use Notes instead of daily posts?
I post long content daily. That's for SEO and search engines.
Notes are to drive traffic to those stories or my profile.
Notes are not really good for search engines and SEO.
Exactly what I was wondering.
maybe you should make another segment for people who want to receive every post you know
I thought about that too. Might try it
What a wonderful process; thank you very much for sharing it
Thank you. I’ve been postponing publishing for this reason, now I have the hack.
Absolutely grand idea!
Yes! This is actually something I’ve been wanting to do and was wondering if it would work.

Just occurred to me that you can also create an email that is a summary or links to your posts and send only that! 🤯
Exactly
Thank you Burk. Found your blog few months ago while deciding whether to post my Linkedin articles on Substack as well. Your tips are fab.

Also a good strategy. I do post longform content daily.
Perfect timing 🙏🏼
Good advice. Thanks!
