The key to gaining consistent subscribers I’ve found is:
1. Write quality material and post regularly but not too often (I recommend 1-3 times per week)
2. Read other Stacks and leave comments on their posts
3. RESTACK other writers’ work and add a personal note
4. Use Notes to help attract attention but don’t post Notes constantly
5. Figure out your audience and what’s original/unique about your writing
6. Be patient
7. Don’t come off as desperate for growth. Self-promote but with thoughtfulness
