The Secret Weapon for Success: The Substack Scheduled Notes Tool

How I increased my views by over 30X in less than 30 days.

If you’re a writer or content creator on Substack, you know the hustle. Juggling newsletters, Notes, and community engagement is no small feat.

Whether you are a solopreneur, blogger, or creator trying to grow your audience, it often feels like you are running a never-ending marathon—all while trying to stay inspired and organized.

I have a demanding 9-5 job and want to build my Finn’sights newsletter, providing weekly insights, tips, and tools to help you grow as a writer. I’ve been stressed at 11:30 PM trying to get my weekly stories out, or I wake up at 4:00 AM with bright new ideas to jot down. I love working with data and building tools to streamline my workflow.

That is why I built the Substack Scheduled Notes Chrome Extension - a tool that transforms how you manage and optimize your Substack Notes. This tool doesn’t just save time—it helps you streamline your creative process, build consistency, and quickly analyze your Notes performance.

Let’s dive into the problems it solves and how it can help you achieve your goals.

The Pain Points: What’s Holding You Back?

Substack Notes are an incredible way to engage with your audience and drive traffic to your newsletters. But let’s face it: keeping up with a consistent posting schedule while managing ideas and measuring success can feel overwhelming.

Here’s what might sound familiar:

  • Time Crunch: You spend hours crafting Notes each week, often scrambling to post them on time.

  • Inconsistency: Missing posts? That’s a trust-breaker for your audience.

  • Idea Overload: Your brilliant thoughts are scattered across sticky notes, notebooks, and random docs.

  • Lack of Insights: How are your Notes performing? What’s resonating with your audience? Without clear metrics, you’re guessing in the dark.

The Solution: Scheduled Substack Notes

The Scheduled Substack Notes Tool is here to revolutionize your workflow.

This tool gives you superpowers, whether you’re a solopreneur building a business, a writer crafting engaging stories, or a blogger driving newsletter traffic.

  • Save Time and schedule your Notes in advance. Say goodbye to last-minute posting stress and hello to a streamlined workflow. Never miss a post, even when life gets hectic.

  • Stay Consistent: Consistency is the secret to audience trust and growth. By scheduling your Notes at regular intervals, you’ll build a rhythm your readers can count on.

  • Organize Ideas: Finally, a home for your creative backlog! Keep your Notes tidy, searchable, and ready to go. Whether it’s a burst of inspiration at 2 a.m. or an evergreen thought, you’ll have it on hand when it’s time to post.

  • Analyze Performance: With one click, you can pull engagement metrics for your Notes and save them to a CSV file. This lets you understand what’s working, refine your strategy, and grow your impact.

Scheduled Notes Impact

I love to work with data, so I tested the impact of Scheduled Notes on the views and subscribers of my Finn’sights newsletter.

Since September 2024, I have posted at least one article per week, except for the last two weeks of October, when 9-5 work became too hectic.

On November 21st, I successfully implemented the first version of the Substack Scheduled Notes and started using it regularly. I posted daily updates on my progress and engaged with the first brave beta users to get their feedback.

This is what my total traffic looks like. Over 30X growth in 30 days is mind-boggling.

Below is a view of my subscriber growth. You can see the initial growth that came from my articles in September. After I started using Scheduled Notes daily on November 21st, my subscriber growth accelerated, reaching 300 subscribers a few days ago.

The best impact, however, is how Scheduled Notes has changed people’s lives in the last 30 days. Here are some real-life examples:

These stories are the best reward that anybody could wish for!

Being an engineer, I didn’t want to rest on my laurels but worked hard to fix issues that the first users have reported.
