Nobody Commented on My Posts. Until I Learned to Ask the Right Questions.

I Thought My Readers Didn’t Care—Until I Changed This One Thing.

Why Engagement Matters

When I started writing on Substack, I had this picture in my mind: I’d hit publish, people would rush in, comments would flow like wine, and my inbox would light up with notifications.

Reality? Crickets.

It took me longer than I care to admit to realize this: you don’t get engagement by accident.

Engagement is something you create. It’s the secret sauce that turns passive readers into loyal subscribers and loyal subscribers into superfans who share your work like it’s gospel.

Here’s what I’ve learned—through trial, error, and a lot of awkward silences—about how to build conversations that actually matter.
