Any thoughts on whether or not the same advice applies to Notes here?

Superficially, it doesn't seem to. I've seen plenty of people who get lots of engagement with diverse notes. "My new novel is coming out" is followed by a cute cat picture and then by a recipe for peppermint tea, or something like that. Yet all of them obviously get seen.

I'm asking, though, because my growth in followers doesn't seem to be matched by growth in engagement. I wouldn't expect it to be 100% correlated, but it seems as if I should get a little more engagement with 900 followers than with 200.

I am not sure about notes.

It generally seems like the notes algorithm is random.

People with 100 subscribers who write 'I've hit 100 subs!' get hundreds of likes.

I'll give this one a go and see how it turns out.

I’ve tried that, too, and it didn’t work for me. There must be some algorithmic curation, but I can’t figure out what the pattern is.

100%. People who figure it out will win big time at this stage.

Yes, Notes are different. For now.

It was the best decision I made in the last couple of years.

I have learned so much about myself and I am growing so much faster than I ever did before.

This alone worth more than money.
