I do write notes. Almost daily. And get almost no engagement. I can only assume that they are not what people want to read? I write comments on other peoples notes too. In my notes I write about farming and sustainable living - and human stuff sometimes - my newsletters are well read but not my notes. I am flummoxed.

Thank you for a great article - I am always happy to learn more about this.

Thank you Kristina! I guess I have been engaging in notes for about 6 months. On Substack over a year.

And why? Huh. A HUGE question. Why indeed. Mostly to have conversations about stuff I guess. With people who are interested. Sometimes (like a few minutes ago) I write a note to simply get something SAID. Sometimes ideas gather in a persons brain like roadblocks snd demand to be said. And won’t let anything else past. Sometimes they are off brand. But it feels safe here. I am so used to not getting any feedback from my notes that I get quite - um - honest!

I share others work almost daily - there is just so much wonderful work here. And I publish my own newsletter at noon every Sunday.

My goal is a note each day and newsletter once a week. Paid subscribers get two farm videos a week. On a good week.

I have another publication on Wordpress that is daily so I am careful not to over commit. I am a farmer with a business after all.

Oh my! This is too long! I look forward to hearing from you again. Thank you so much for taking the time!

2x videos per week for piad? Wow! Most important thing is to offer value. Value, value . value. You can also poll your audience to find out more or ask them what they want more about. You could also start a paid chat and chat with them about a specific topic you cover in the videos. Just some thoughts. Hugs!

Hello Cecilia, just checked your notes.

You know. talking into the void is what we all feel. It's great that you're engaging with the notes posts of others.

How long have you been writing on Notes?

How often do you publish something or share the work of others?

What's your goal with Notes?

I love your topic and would love to learn more about it.

There are multiple in my feed who write about similar stuff like you and sustainable living and farming is a huge topic here as we all are looking for a SLOWER living.

After you answered my questions, I'll give you some feedback.

Hugs! You got this!!
