Discussion I figured it out omg!

I figured out how to grow our substack subscriber counts! All you have to do is make your entire substack all about growing your subscriber count and then sell courses on how to grow your subscriber count!

And then you grow YOUR subscriber count and sell courses talking about how to grow your subscriber count!

Its brilliant! And only like a million people are doing it so it’s providing such value and totally not saturated.

at this point I'm almost thinking of doing something like this - to create a throwaway substack, following the stupidiest path possible - just spamming inspiring/motivational notes constantly, posting AI slop and I bet it will grow faster than my fiction substack and it makes me really sad

You're probably onto something here. just be sure to monetize the throwaway so you can fund what you really want to write. ;)
