"120,000 followers is impressive," he said. "But your Substack is kind of sad..."

Sure, my LinkedIn following looked great on paper. But May 2024 my Substack was sitting around ~100 subscribers. My friend was right...it was kind of sad.

Every day I'd craft what I thought were perfect LinkedIn posts. They'd get decent engagement. Sometimes they'd even go viral.

But at the end of each week, I'd check my Substack numbers...and nothing.

Maybe you can relate?

The LinkedIn-Substack Flywheel Effect

You're building in public, sharing insights, dropping value bombs. Your LinkedIn game is strong. But your newsletter growth? It's stuck in first gear.

Here's what I discovered after months of frustration:

The problem wasn't my content. It wasn't my writing. It wasn't even my call-to-actions.

It was my system. Or really, my lack of one.

See, I was treating LinkedIn and Substack like two separate islands. Post here, write there, and hope somehow people would swim between them.

Then I stumbled onto something I now call the LinkedIn-Substack Flywheel.

When I started implementing this Flywheel, the shift was dramatic:

• 3,300 new subscribers in under 4 months
• More engaged audience than ever (open rates 40%+)
• $20,000+ in digital product sales

But the real breakthrough? It was repeatable.

Every. Single. Time.

This wasn't about posting more. It wasn't about being louder. It was about understanding how these platforms work together.

Here's a Quick Win

If you're looking to grow your Substack from LinkedIn, here's a quick win you can implement today:

Your LinkedIn posts need a strong CTA (Call-to-Action) that drives Substack growth. Here's my proven formula...

"If you enjoyed this post, you'll love my newsletter where I share [specific value proposition].

Join 3,300 subscribers here {link to your Substack hero post}

Or drop a '📫' below and I'll send you the link."

This simple addition doubled my conversion rate from LinkedIn posts to Substack subscribers. The key is offering both a direct link AND a comment option - it works with LinkedIn's algorithm while giving readers choice.

This isn't about posting more. It's not about being louder. It's about understanding how these platforms work together.

Tomorrow, I'm sharing the exact post template that consistently converts LinkedIn followers into Substack subscribers. Not the usual "Hey, subscribe to my newsletter!" stuff.

This is the template that consistently drives 20-30+ new Substack subscribers per post.
