You are simply amazing - thank you for sharing this strategy. Will build it into my plan (I am still in the construction phase … but hey … no time like now)!
Feed back time.........Honest opinion time, maybe my susbstack is not the best one to trial this idea. Engagement was really good, lots of "likes" and quite a few comments which was all very positive. At the moment, no new subscribers, unfortunately. I am really pleased that I gave it a try and will give this another try as I like to try and post notes daily or at least every other day, so this is a good way of keeping up a regular online presence.
This is a masterclass in prompt engineering and audience psychology! Turning archives into algorithm-aligned growth assets is exactly how creators should be thinking about compounding content.
I talk about latest AI trends and insights. Do check out my Substack, I am sure you’ll find it very relevant and relatable.
I'm going to try this out, thank you. I have been on substack for 32 days, so I'm going to just do this with an essay I wrote on Monday (I know, that's not what you said).
I have 104 subs at the moment and gain around 2 per day atm.
Not a huge fan of letting ChatGPT write the notes, but the algorithm is a machine too.
I write well and people like it, but do not see it without me "grinding" notes everyday, and even then. Let's see.
Thanks again. Let me know if you want me to keep you posted on my progress.
Yes, it really does. I'm not knocking Claudia's system, because it just plays into the relentless advice to post, post, post to Notes in order to build a readership and helps writers to do that. That magic number of 3-5 notes per day is now embedded in the Notes mythos, but I have to wonder -- if everybody's doing this now, isn't that going to create a glut of AI-sounding notes? And wouldn't that drown out the really original notes not boosted by AI? And what about the many writers on here who vow never to use AI in any form?
You're right. I get it that time is at a premium and the pressure is on to produce, be more present, etc. But as you say, anybody can feed a bot a prompt and say they're a writer, artist or whatever -- and that diminishes the effort real artists put into their work.
Is there nowhere left to simply create and enjoy other’s creations at the speed of life rather than the speed of light? I’m sure these are hard earned insights meant to benefit all who read. I suppose I’m just so weary from the amount of pressure on every form of social connection to optimize, generate, “post 3-5 times a day”, “hustle”, “get your bag, girl” and every other flashing shiny reminder of the Trump Taj Mahal Casinos I would run through with my head down, shoulders hoisted up to protect my ears from the bling, clang, smash, chime of tacky brass fixtures and the empty promises of quarters in the slots as I tried to walk a straight and narrow line from the employee parking lot of my teenage summer job - choking on the smoke and the grift as I fought my way out into the light of day on the boardwalk in Atlantic City.
Everywhere you looked was the branded territory of the distraction architect. Who’s work proved that all that glitters is not gold - again and again and again until the architect’s greed and distraction tactics pulled all but himself into the black hole of the former shining star of a city by the sea.
The good people of Atlantic and Ocean counties, NJ who bowed, scraped, shuffled, and hustled to the beat that the distraction architect demanded. Their future’s sucked into the bankrupt void of the gravitational pull while the distraction architect walked free and clear - just like the time before and time before that.
For Atlantic City was merely the training ground. The trial run of a future moment in time when the good people of the Democratic Republic of The United States would once again be tricked into hustling, “bootstrapping”, and generating the shiny distractions of the virtual casinos that lined what was once promised to be the the information superhighway just as they did the boardwalk of the romantic enchantic Atlantic City down by the old New Jersey shore.
And once again the distraction architect looked down at the good people - the “chumps” as he so affectionately called them - and spun the wheels, dunked the once sacred ground in an orange brassy gold he created in the image of his own skin tone, and threatened to bankrupt not just their wallets but their souls as gravity sucked them into the tilt a whirl ride of the 2nd Trumponian age.
An age brought to you by Elon, Peter Thiel, Zuckerberg, David Ellis, and every other drug pusher who churns out the modern day opium of the masses while convincing the good people it’s green juice, smoothies, and good old fashioned hard work. Simultaneously evading the questions of why they’d never allow their own children to to get hooked on the social media designer drugs of their own making - while the distraction architect’s heavy thumbs spew tyranny, hate, and suspicion of one’s neighbors as the bombs bursting in air over the unsuspecting Caribbean gave proof through the night that, just like Atlantic City, our country’s in despair.
This is absolutely outstanding and worthwhile. I edited the prompt for what I’d like to convey and it worked really well.
yeeeeah, that makes me really happy - thanks for sharing that! :)
Wow, turning old content into fresh Notes? Talk about recycling at its finest! - I'll be robbing that prompt, thank you very much. 😁
please do :D
So much value in one post.
You're a rockstar Claudia!
oh thank you so much!!

thank you, so glad that you liked it :)
Awesome. Such a helpful resource 🔥
thank you, Dennis! :)
Thank you so much 😍
you are so welcome :)
Sharing this is so generous! I’m excited to use this.
🙌🙌

that would be great! would love to see how this prompt performs on other people's posts
Alright, I'll keep in touch
I don't link the post that the notes are taken from, ever? Do people look for it themselves?
This looks fantastic. I haven’t used GPT yet, but this might turn me!
let me know in case you give it a try :)
And it worked. Just subbed you. Nice @Claudia Faith 👏
amazing :)
exciting ;D
All of this shows just how shallow most notes are!
Yes, it really does. I'm not knocking Claudia's system, because it just plays into the relentless advice to post, post, post to Notes in order to build a readership and helps writers to do that.

I hate the idea of AI to write anything. It’s ruining writing and will make things even more untrustworthy than they currently are.
Anyone can produce a story, poem, video or photo with little effort. The lazy, talentless and the scammers love it!
You're right. I get it that time is at a premium and the pressure is on to produce, be more present, etc. But as you say, anybody can feed a bot a prompt and say they're a writer, artist or whatever -- and that diminishes the effort real artists put into their work.
Discovering this post (and its Substack) makes me sad. So disappointing.

I like the idea of speed of life rather than the speed of light.
