How We Solved Our Substack Notes Content Problem (And Why You Might Need This Too)
Introducing Note Stack: Our End-to-End Solution for Substack Notes
I'm bouncing in my chair as I write this.
We've finally solved one of the most frustrating problems in content creation for Substack. If you're posting on Substack Notes (or plan to), this is about to change everything.
Substack Notes is the hidden growth engine most creators aren't fully leveraging. It's like Twitter/X without the toxicity - pure short-form content that supercharges subscriber growth.
But here's the reality we all face - consistently creating strategic Notes is surprisingly difficult. A few months ago, we found ourselves:
Sharing random thoughts with zero strategy
Struggling to figure out what to post each day
Seeing wildly inconsistent results from our efforts
Wasting hours every week on manual posting tasks
Having no clear view of our past content or future publishing plan
What do we do when there's an itch that needs scratching? We build something to solve it. So we created a system for ourselves that transformed how we approach Substack Notes.
Then something interesting happened - every time we showed another creator what we were using, their reaction was immediate: "I NEED THIS!"
The results were so good that we knew we had to turn our internal tool into something all creators could use.
And now it's here.
Note Stack
An end-to-end solution for Substack Notes
After months of development and testing, we've created a complete ecosystem for building, planning, and publishing strategic notes on Substack.
It's transformed how we approach content creation, and the results have been incredible.
There are 3 parts to the system:
Note Builder
Note Planner
Note Publisher
Here's how it works:
1. Note Builder: From Blank Screen to Strategic Content
Note Builder is a custom GPT that transforms any topic into 20 strategically positioned notes.
Instead of random thoughts, each note is crafted with purpose based on:
5 awareness levels (from completely unaware to ready to act)
4 emotional triggers (inspiration, curiosity, frustration, empowerment)
6 post types designed to drive specific behaviours
Feed it a past piece of content, idea, topic, or whatever’s on your mind. In 20 seconds you have 20 unique new notes ready to go.
No more staring at blank screens!
2. Note Planner: Strategic Organisation in Notion
Once we had the content, we needed a way to organise it strategically.
The Note Planner Notion system is where the magic really happens.
Add new notes in seconds
Visualise your entire content strategy at a glance
Identify patterns and gaps in your approach
Drag and drop content onto a calendar based on strategic timing
See exactly which emotional triggers and awareness levels you're targeting
The best part? Note Builder gives a CSV file that you can import into Note Planner in one click. All your notes are automatically formatted with columns that map to the Note Planner system properties (not manual work at all).
The difference between random posting and strategic publishing is night and day.
3. Note Publisher: From Notion to Substack in One Click
Finally, we created the missing link.
A Chrome extension that connects Notion directly to Substack Notes.
Once your content is planned in Notion:
Syncs with your Notion database (manual or automatically at set times every day)
Publishes your notes automatically based on your schedule
Eliminates copy-pasting and formatting issues
Keeps your content flowing even when you're focused elsewhere
The results changed everything
Since implementing this system, we've seen:
5+ hours saved each week on content creation
More consistent engagement and growth
More variety in our content that attracts people at their stage
Most importantly, we've eliminated that constant "what should I post?" anxiety that was draining our creative energy. No more needing to remember to manually log into Substack to post Notes each day.
