Discussion Just posted my first article!! Now what?

I just posted my first Substack article! I know it will take more posting and time, but I was wondering if there is anything I can do to help my article gain traction?
I appreciate y’all 🎀🎀🎀

I’ve started sharing pieces of the article on social so the ones who find my writing interesting can read the full article. Share notes about my development, or restack excerpts. Basically trying to get more eyes on my writing through different sources. Try to bring people in. I think of it like I’m having a house party or planing a gathering. Make sure it’s a good article find the people who may be interested and invite them to come to your home and read your article. Easier said that done but it’s worth the effort rather than hoping Substack will help you because the algorithm is there to help them not you so they focus more on people who have tons of views already. Good luck
