The AI prompt I use to generate engaging notes that consistently grow my audience.
⚠️ Only a few spots left for the AI Writing Accelerator before we close doors until Version 2! (No set date for re-opening)
If you've been on Substack for any length of time, you know that Notes are no longer optional—they're essential for growth. According to top creators, approximately 25% of new subscribers come directly through Notes engagement.
That's huge. That’s also my own experience.
But creating consistent, engaging Notes takes time and mental energy that could be spent on your main content. That's why I developed this Substack Note Generator prompt.
The power of Substack notes for newsletter growth
Substack Notes function like social media posts within the platform's ecosystem, but with a crucial difference: when someone subscribes to you through Notes, they're added directly to your email list. This creates an incredibly powerful subscriber acquisition channel that doesn't exist on platforms like X or LinkedIn.
I've personally experienced this with AI Disruptor—Notes consistently drive new subscribers to my publication every single day. I’ve almost all but quit LinkedIn and X. One day I will return, but for now, my ROI is way higher here on Substack.
Why I created this prompt system
When I first started using Notes, I struggled with the same challenges many writers face:
Overthinking what to post
Inconsistent publishing schedule
Notes that failed to engage readers
Time-consuming creation process
I spent weeks analyzing high-performing Notes from top Substack creators, identifying patterns in what works, and developing a system to generate effective Notes consistently.
The result is a prompt that uses AI (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini) to create engaging Substack Notes from virtually any content source—whether it's your existing newsletters, random thoughts, or even NotebookLM briefs.
