I'm still trying to understand how Substack works. I started writing here for about a month ago. Even though I try to write consistently twice a week, only one of my subscribers came within Substack.

I write on Islamic Calligraphy and Arts, and based on the searches I've made so far, I'm pretty confident that I'm the only up to date and consistent publication in my field here. Still I have little to no traffic even though I pay attention to posting details and sections like tagging, using Notes, Chat, etc. All of these discourages new writers like me who try to spread valuable information for those who are interested.

I hope the algorithm will be more specific in the future. I still see irrelevant featured posts under certain categories.
