The Laziest Way to Grow on Substack

Most writers think growth means grinding out 2,000-word essays, chasing SEO, and spending hours every week formatting the perfect post.

That’s why most quit.

The truth?

You don’t need to hustle like crazy to grow.

You just need to show up consistently in small ways.

Here’s the lazy version that works

• Restack 3 posts you genuinely like. You borrow audiences instantly—without writing a single word.

• Write a 3–5 sentence micro-post. Keep it simple, punchy, and relatable. People share short posts more than long ones.

• Reply to one reader comment with depth. That single reply turns a casual reader into a loyal subscriber.

That’s it.

It doesn’t take hours. It doesn’t take hustle. It just takes consistency.

The laziest growth strategy is also the most sustainable: show up, add value, and keep going.
