Viral meme on Substack got me 21 new subscribers (and counting)
I write a leftist newsletter/blog on Substack, which has a short-form feed where you can also post images. I posted an anti-capitalist meme, and after about a week it started to really take oof. It's got ~1.6k likes and almost 300 shares, and it is still circulating now. It's carried me across the 100 subscriber mark, and I've noticed my other posts are getting more visibility now too.
If you use Substack, I highly reccomend simple memes and the like that are relevant to your audience's interests. I've gotten a couple subs here and there from some with less exposure, but one good post that resonates with people can really kick your publication into gear.
Hopefully y'all will find this insight helpful. I'm sure it could be replicated in other niches.
