What is Substack Notes? (and how to use it)

Without getting caught up in algorithms or short-form burnout

Substack Notes can feel confusing, overwhelming, or even a little controversial. Is it social media? Is it a feed? Should you post there at all? And if so… what?

I get it… learning a new platform can feel overwhelming… especially when it’s many things combined into one.

So I put together a video walking you through exactly:

• What Substack Notes is

• How it works

• The difference between posting from your publication vs your profile

• and how I use Notes in a way that genuinely supports my writing and creative world… and you can too.

If you’re wondering:

• Should I use Substack Notes?

• What do I post there?

• Is there a strategy behind it?

• How do I use Notes without feeling like I’m back on Instagram or Facebook?

…this video will help you understand a simple, aligned way to use it for your publication.

Specifically, I share:

1. What Substack Notes actually is

2. Why the Notes feed exists

3. How to post from your profile

4. What makes Notes different from your publication

5. The 3 ways I personally use Notes

6. What to avoid when posting that makes the Substack community cringe

7. And how my Substack Starter Kit (paired with my Idea Generator Bot + Growth Bot) can help you create Notes that support your publication instead of distracting from it

Whether you’re brand new to Substack or refining your creative strategy, this video will help you understand Notes in a way that feels intentional and aligned with your long-form work.
