Welcome!
Learn the secrets behind Substack Notes.
Every week, I run tens of millions of notes and millions of Substack articles through the only dataset of its kind and send you exactly what the algorithm is rewarding right now.
You don’t need more Substack advice. You need Substack data.
Everyone on the platform is writing, posting notes, and guessing what works. Most of that guessing is based on personal anecdotes or recycled tips from other newsletters. None of it is based on what’s actually happening across millions of creators in real time.
That’s the gap. The Substack Data Report closes it.
I analyze tens of millions of notes and millions of Substack articles every week, the only dataset of this kind, and translate the patterns into a digest you can actually act on.
“Without data you’re just another person with an opinion. With it, you’re the only one in the room who actually knows what’s going on.”

P.S.
Knowing the patterns is only half the job. The other half is executing on them consistently. That's exactly why I built WriteStack: a tool that helps Substack creators schedule Notes at the right time, track what's performing, and grow their list without the manual grind. Think of it this way: this newsletter gives you the intel. WriteStack helps you act on it.
