I ended up gaining about 300 new subs in the past week and half. Jesse Ventura's new substack added mine to their recommended list and they started coming soon after. I assume most of the new folks don't know what I do but, they didn't leave after they received my snarky & sarcastic introduction email or my latest newsletter.
In the meantime, because Substack doesn't provide any idea of who unsubscribed on free subscriptions, I create a Google Sheet that does that for you. I was going to reach out since you write about substack. I'm providing it as a free tool for those who want it. If you are interested, I'll send you the link. Is your email the standard, subpub @ ss (dot) com. (obscured to avoid spam). Let me know if you are interested.
It's true that after a while things just sort of acheivetheir own momentum. I am glad I hung on through a long, long plateau when it seemed like nothing was happening. And yes, the new recommendations system seems to be benefitting everyone! It's really great.
I had the same thing happen to me recently. After weeks of religious posting I took a break. During my hiatus I gained more subscribers than any one given post ever produced for me. It was wild, it was scary. It was like-- why are you here?? Where did you come from?? I think you are right. The more you produce, the more hooks are in the water. Even fishermen know to sit and wait.
