Here’s the replay of our amazing kick-off call that somehow lasted 90 minutes!

So fun.

Notes growth right now is explosive.

This isn’t forever, just through Q1. We reassess in March.

How the challenge works:

  • A daily Notes Boost January 20-March 31

  • An email will arrive at 9 AM CT

  • Each day’s Boost closes at 9 PM CT

  • Daily prompts and guidance (but they're optional!)

  • Focus on meaningful engagement over quantity

Who sees your Notes:

  • Your subscribers (who are automatically followers)

  • Your additional Notes followers

  • People interested in trending topics in your category

  • Anyone who engages with similar content

What's working on Notes right now:

  • Text-only idea posts (shorter, lots of white space)

  • Storytelling posts (can be longer, more narrative)

  • Simple landscape photos

  • Drawings and illustrations

  • Authentic, shareable content

Notes strategy tips:

  • Focus on getting restacks and restacking rather than just likes

  • Use content from your existing posts rather than always creating new

  • Don’t worry about posting multiple times…
