I've taken a look at your profile and noticed you have relatively few likes on your notes. Here are a few things you might consider:

1. Analytical types like you and me can sometimes be too logical and not emotional enough. Maybe try writing more about feelings rather than just logic?

2. Add an image to your notes. You don’t have to be a great photographer—what matters is that the image conveys the mood or emotion.

3. Try connecting with a few Substackers as if you’re friends, just like you and I connected. If you have 10 such connections, you’ll probably always have 10 likes and maybe some restacks as well.

4. Ultimately, the most important thing is to be authentic. If you find that any of this clashes with your authenticity, then it’s not you, and sticking to something that doesn’t feel like you wouldn’t make sense.

If it's any consolation, I don't join Notes because I'm not really sure how that works. Is that like a DM but for Substack? Maybe you have a couple of hundred subscribers who are as technology-challenged as me?
