Seems like this is all it takes to grow an investing Substack insanely fast:
Make an anonymous page with a catchy, finance-related name
Say you are a “portfolio manager” at some big-name firm
Use AI to make flashy header images
Make posts on $NVDA, $PLTR, $HIMS, $TSLA, or any other stock with a cult following
Spam notes with Warren Buffett quotes, hot takes on the above stocks, or repeated references to your (made up) backstory
I’ve seen multiple accounts go from 0 → Thousands of followers within a few weeks using this exact formula.
It works. It’s ridiculous. And it’s oddly fascinating.
p.s. I write a no-BS investing newsletter called Elias’ Investing Journal, where I dig into microcap stocks most investors ignore. Subscribe to see no fluff investment research, including my latest post about an overlooked software stock trading at 4x earnings.
