New to Substack, wrapped up week 1 and looking for advice

Hey 👋

Launched a Substack 7 days ago and just wrapped up week 1.

So far we’re at 67 subscribers, around 1.4k total views, and open rates ranging from 45–85% depending on the post (high? low?).

The numbers look promising (maybe?), but we know week-1 stats can be misleading. We’re brand new to Substack and would really appreciate advice from people with more experience.

If you were starting over today, what would you focus on in the first few weeks to drive real growth or improve conversion?

Any lessons you wish you’d learned earlier are very welcome 🙏

Thanks a million!
