Thank you Annie! Notes is a wonderful space to find others, their writing and just beautiful mundane things.

Since I’ve focused more on notes, I made online and offline friends and have been able to grow sustainably faster than before.

I see it like the local farmers market where after a while you see familiar faces, have a chat and build new connections (and maybe even buy stuff aka subscriptions)

That is such a nice comparison. (Love a farmers’ market.) x

i dont have the option for paid subscribers on my stack. does that mean i get promoted less on notes? is there any information about this.

If people like what you are writing in notes, they may well head to your Substack - paid or free

right ist just ive noticed that notes switches automatically back to the explore function and this function dramatically reduces who i see. i don´t care too much about this or care to spend too much time posting, but its strange to have amassed a small following on notes and still feel like im sending things into a void on there. the easiest explanation being, its not promoted because i cannot turn any profit at this point. which is ok. i was just wondering if we know for certain that stacks are promoted on this basis. thanks for responding!

Great insight Annie yes I think consistency is key isn't it? Nice to know where you stand as a subscriber and what you will get and when. Thank you for sharing this. I have 3k+ subscribers through F&F but it doesn't make sense to move them over as this is a different endeavour. Any tips for starting from scratch? I'm thinking expert collabs, online events and just talking about it non-stop! All of which I have not started yet as I find my voice on here. Any thoughts welcome! x

What makes you think that your found and flourish community wouldn’t want to come over here? X

I think it’s more a case of GDPR. I can definitely invite them to join but not sure I can just add them onto this list. X

I love your newsletter, and have to say thank you, @annieridout, as your post about “The Creative Way” pulled me out of a dark spiral, and reminded me to keep things simple. 🥰
