THE MACHINE
Paste a Note.
What happens to it? It gets checked against 3 things that turns your readers into subscribers. Nothing else. It takes about a second.
Nothing tripped. Does that mean it is good? No. It means no hard error — whether anyone felt anything, no checker can tell you.
THE CHECKABLE TWO ARE THERE
Both of the ingredients a machine can check are in this draft. The one that decides most of it is still the one no checker can see.
So the problem is probably not the writing. It is who is reading it.
WHAT TO DO ABOUT THATThis checks one Note against 3 ingredients. Useful, and narrow.
The wider version is the audit I ran on my own publication before I built any of this — 5 numbers your Substack dashboard will not show you, ending with the one that explains why your readers have not paid you.
It is a free 5-day email course, one number a day. If you would rather just take the numbers and unsubscribe, that is genuinely fine by me.
All the risk is on me. Your email address goes onto my list, and you can unsubscribe at any time.
P.S. If you skipped past it — the 5-day Publication Audit is the form above. One number a day, pulled from your own Substack. Day 5 is the one that changed what I was building.
