DAY 17: Your Notes Boost begins now!
Meet other Substack writers and creators! Stop feeling like you're posting into the void on Notes!
If this is your first time, welcome! Boost hours: 9 AM - 6 PM CT. For a step-by-step guide, FAQs, and tutorial video on the Substack Notes Boosts, go here.
Today’s prompt:
5 types of Notes go viral: Type 2—Twist an Instagram feel-good message
Try an Instagram feel-good message but give it a twist.
Find a super-optimistic view or an inspiring quote.
Then give us a specific time in your life when this wasn’t true but it was okay that it wasn’t true or you learned something else.
This can make your Note less saccharine sweet, more real, more you.
Preview of tomorrow’s challenge: 5 types of Notes go viral: Type 3—life update. Try a Facebook-ish life update. What’s something that happened that you’d want to share with a friend? Whatever you just thought of is perfect.
