Grow on Substack
without guessing.

I write on Substack about [YOUR NICHE/TOPIC]. Write me 8 Substack Notes: 2 educational (teach something specific), 2 growth-focused (about building an audience or business), 2 entertaining (a specific personal story or observation), and 2 inspirational (a mindset shift, no generic quotes). Each Note should be under 150 words, start with a specific detail or number (not a question), and end with something that invites a reply. Here's a recent post of mine for context and voice: [PASTE A RECENT POST OR NOTE]

I write on Substack about [YOUR NICHE/TOPIC]. Write me 5 Substack Notes, one for each stage of awareness: (1) someone who doesn't know they have this problem, (2) someone who knows the problem but not the solution, (3) someone comparing solutions, (4) someone who knows my specific approach but hasn't tried it, (5) someone ready to act. Each Note should match that reader's mindset exactly - don't sell to a cold reader and don't over-explain to a ready one.

Here's my best-performing Substack Note: [PASTE YOUR TOP NOTE]. Write 5 variations of this same core insight, each from a different angle - a personal story version, a contrarian take, a numbered-list version, a question-first version, and a mistake-I-made version. Keep the core insight identical; only change the framing and opening line.

Here's a full post I wrote: [PASTE YOUR ARTICLE]. Extract 10 standalone Substack Notes from it - each one should be a complete, specific idea that works on its own without needing the rest of the article for context. Don't just quote sentences; pull out the single sharpest point from each section and rewrite it as its own short, punchy Note.

Here's the opening line of a Substack Note I'm drafting: [PASTE YOUR OPENING LINE]. Rewrite it 8 different ways using these hook formulas: a specific number, a contrarian statement, a confession/mistake, a direct question, a 'most people think X but' structure, a mid-story cold open, a before/after contrast, and a blunt one-line claim. Keep each version under 15 words.

I write on Substack about [YOUR NICHE/TOPIC]. Write 10 Substack Notes specifically designed to get replies, not just likes - each one should end with a genuine, specific question (not 'thoughts?') that a reader could actually answer from their own experience in one sentence.

Here's one idea or insight I have: [PASTE YOUR IDEA]. Give me 21 different Substack Notes built from this single idea, each using a different angle: a personal failure, a reader example, a contrarian take, a step-by-step breakdown, a myth-busting frame, a before/after, a question to the audience, a prediction, a comparison to something unrelated, a confession, a list, a single statistic, a quote reaction, a 'here's what nobody tells you' frame, a mini case study, a warning, a definition reframe, a timeline, a cost/benefit frame, an 'if I started over' frame, and a blunt opinion.

Here are two of my Substack Notes - one that performed well and one that didn't. BEST: [PASTE YOUR BEST NOTE, with like/restack/comment counts if you have them]. WORST: [PASTE YOUR WORST NOTE, with counts]. Compare them and tell me specifically what structural, topical, or stylistic differences likely explain the gap - not generic advice, but what's actually different between these two specific Notes.
