I appreciate all the ways I can add value to my subscribers! I am going to try a poll next time! Thank you for this!

Polls are great, as they give you better insights and data than time-consuming research. And so easy to make on Substack.

Love this Jerry. You’ve inspired me to create a new header 😊.

That's awesome, Gail! The new header is so simple and effective. Think of this like your personal brand billboard.

Great post. I've never done a poll before, so I'll have a go at one this week.

Recommendation “broken” hack: I used to get a number of subscribers from recommendations, but something happened a few months ago, where now I get “followers” instead. Is there a hack to revert back?

I have never heard of that. The best way to solve this would be to ask Substack directly.

Me too. I wondered if when I got recommendations at first it was because readers hadn't seen me before, but after a while anyone who is likely to subscribe, already has subscribed.

But I used to get a lot of recommendations, now I get hardly any.
