Why Most Newsletter Growth Stalls at 100 Subscribers
Most creators quit Substack before they ever get traction.
Not because their ideas are bad…
But, because they miss one simple lever:
Distribution.
There’s a better way
You can write the best piece in the world.
However, if nobody sees it, it dies in your drafts.
The fix?
Treat Notes + partnerships as mandatory.
👉 Write to publish.
👉 Notes to distribute.
👉 Partnerships to multiply.
Do this every week for 90 days, and your newsletter won’t just “exist”… it will grow.
PS: This issue is sponsor-friendly. If you’d like to feature your tool or brand in front of readers building newsletters and side hustles, reply here.
The 90-day framework makes sense - long enough to build momentum but short enough to maintain focus.
