If this is your first time here, welcome!
Below, you’ll find a step-by-step guide and video tutorial.
The Notes Boost Challenge is well worth your time:
“My subscribers grew by 42% in the last 90 days, from 2620 to 3729, and that is much higher than the previous 90 days, which had crawled along with a 5% a month growth rate. I got 700 new subscribers in March which is a record for me. I had two notes go viral (thousands of likes) and quite a few get into mid-high hundreds. An amazing lift.” —Ros Barber
“I nearly doubled my subscribers in the last 70 days. But more than the numbers, it’s the connections that matter—writers who’ve become real friends. That’s the part I never expected. And the part I’ll never take for granted. Thank you Notes Boost Challenge.” —Heather Hausenblas
Here’s how it works:
🔲 STEP 1: Post your Note on Notes
Create a new Note or select an existing one.
🔲 STEP 2: Share your Note in the comments below
Paste your Note text in the comments below.
Add the topic of your Note in all caps at the beginning (e.g., CREATIVITY, MORNING ROUTINE).
Add your Note’s URL. (Return to the Note and click the three dots to copy.)
🔲 STEP 3: Support others in the Boost
Go through the comments, click the URLs of at least 5 people’s Notes, and comment, like, or restack.
Only engage with NOTES you genuinely connect with. (This isn’t a follow-for-follow thing.)
Return throughout the day to support members who post later.
🔲 Quick tips:
Don’t include the all-caps description on your Note, only below.
Don’t restack your comment as a Note.
Don’t restack this post.

Choose a word that describes how you want to show up during the Boost. Examples include:
Dedicated
