Proven Technique That Got Me 250 Subscribers in Two Weeks

Lost in the Numbers

Back then, I had 1,000 followers.

But here’s the truth: I didn’t even know what that meant.

“Followers?” I thought. What is this? Why does it matter?

I wasn’t strategizing. I wasn’t measuring. I wasn’t tracking.
I didn’t even understand the role followers played in the game of visibility.

I was just… there.
Sitting on a number.

And I see so many creators there too. Staring at that number like it’s static. Like it’s meaningless. Like it’s some random count of anonymous people who don’t matter.

But here’s the revelation I had to learn the hard way:
Followers are not numbers.

Followers are humans.

Humans wired with ancient instincts. Humans with a nervous system tuned to recognition. Humans who crave what every cell in their body is designed for: belonging.

The Psychology of Why This Works

Let me break it down.

• The Need to Belong — Baumeister & Leary (1995) called belongingness a fundamental human motivation. Humans are not optional social creatures. We survive and thrive when we feel seen.

• The Reciprocity Principle — Robert Cialdini’s research shows that when you give first — attention, a gesture, acknowledgment — people feel compelled to give back. It’s the oldest social contract in the world.

• The Visibility Effect — Neuroscience confirms: when someone feels acknowledged publicly, dopamine is released. They light up. Their system reinforces the bond.

So when you think, “Oh, I only have 1,000 followers,” you’re missing the point. You’re not sitting on numbers. You’re sitting on 1,000 nervous systems wired to respond to recognition.

This is why the strategy I’m about to reveal works.
Not because it’s clever.
But because it’s primal.

The Turning Point

Until I discovered one little thing.

One thing that turned “lost with 1,000 followers” into gaining 250 subscribers in just two weeks.

The whole fucking game shifted.

And that’s where the real story begins.

✦ STOP ✦ — This Is Where the Paid Section Begins

If you stop here, here’s exactly what you’ll miss:

• The exact tactic I use daily — brilliant, repeatable, and never written about before.

• The step-by-step script that converts free subscribers into paid ones.

• The psychological mechanics that make this unstoppable.

• And the proof: 250+ subscribers in two weeks.

This is not theory.
This is a proven technique.

I got from 500 to 700 Likes and 7000 to 11000 views in 2 days!

How?

I pushed this note for 2 weeks. Then I got tired (and when I get tired, I stop—because this has to stay joyful).

I thought that was it: ~6,000 views. Not bad!!

But somehow this note catapulted itself again.

And all I did from there?

Your Wall Is a Mirror of Your Nervous System

Every time someone posts something on your Substack wall, you have a choice.
And that choice is not random. It reveals everything about your nervous system.

Option 1: The Polite “Thank You”

You hit like.
You write “thanks.”

But you don’t really mean it.
And people know.

That’s not real.
That’s not growth.
And it doesn’t move you forward.

Research shows: when people engage in “surface acting” (pretending to feel something they don’t), their stress hormones actually increase.¹ You’re not just faking it — you’re dysregulating yourself further.

Option 2: Passive-Aggressive

Or you snap back:

“Why are you posting this on my wall?”
“What’s the point of this?”

This is protection mode.
Fight response.

And according to polyvagal theory², when your system perceives threat, your body narrows in: less curiosity, more defensiveness.

Translation? You stop growing.

I AM CHOSEN

By Lisa Riesner

I breathe. It must be 6:47 a.m.

I turn to the side and begin my reprogramming. The soft voice of Erica, my hypnotherapist, eases me into a half-dream, and I smile when she says:

“And you know how magnetic you are. You are the legacy, Lisa. Because you breathe.”

The light in Ibiza is soft, golden.

He’s still asleep beside me, breathing slow and silent. I love his smell—woodish and fresh herbs. The smell of home. Of secure love. Our bond of choice.

I kiss his shoulder and turn my body slowly, feeling my weight, my aliveness. I exhale.

What a gift—one more day here on Earth.

Oh Lord.

Barefoot, I step into our prayer room, the original mountain stones cool under my feet. I kneel. Thank you, Lord, for the blessings.

I sing a worship song. I cry. I laugh. I look up at the morning sky through the open glass roof.
Amen.

The kitchen smells like the sea. My lemon water flushes my system; I laugh as I run to the toilet. Then, coffee with fresh cow milk. My morning journal waits for me at the long wooden table.

The curtains float in the morning wind. Alice, who comes twice a week, slips in quietly. She knows how much I honor the silence.

I journal. Not wishes anymore—reminders. Of who I already am. Of what I already live.

Three new article ideas spill out in messy keywords. One is about my parents, who will visit tomorrow. They stay in the guest house now; we each have our own space.

By 8:00 a.m., I’m on the terrace in my robe, pressing record—a three-minute voice note to the CHOSEN. community. Their replies are instant:

“I needed this.”
“Your voice changed my day.”
“Thank you for reminding me.”

At 9:00, I swim in the ocean—the same one I used to dream about on winter nights in Copenhagen. Now it’s my front yard. Salt on my skin. Gratitude in my lungs.

Back home, Alice has prepared banana, avocado, lemon water, and nuts. I coach two clients—one booked a role today, one launched her Substack in tears of relief: “I finally feel seen.”

Then Alice says, “Lisa, Rebecca is ready with the horses.”

I Won. But Really — I Remembered

I entered a writing challenge — HERE ON SUBSTACK
Not for the money.
Not for the win.
But because I felt the woman I’m becoming asking me to write her into the now.

And I did.
I wrote her — as if I were her already.
Not one day. Not someday.
But now.

And today…
I found out I won.
A $500 prize.
My first writing challenge, my first win as a writer, and a message from the very man who subscribed to my channel, bought my kit, and believed in what I’m building.

And here’s the truth:
I didn’t win because I’m lucky.
I won because I showed up in alignment.
Because I saw my future, and I let her speak through me.

This is the magic I’m here to remind you of:

You don’t need to fake it.
You don’t need to wait.
You only need to remember.

So today, I don’t just celebrate $500.
I celebrate the frequency of being CHOSEN.
By myself.
By life.
And now — by others.

And here’s the wild part...

This isn’t just about a giveaway.
It’s been three weeks since I joined Substack.
And in that time...

— I’ve earned $530 through my writing
— I reached #62 and #72 in the Spirituality Bestseller charts
— I’m at nearly 14,000 views
— I have 162 email subscribers
— And over 400 followers
— And… more meaningful conversations and emotional connections than I’ve ever had on a platform before.

This has been a homecoming.
Not just for my work. But for my voice.
For my nervous system.
For my next season.

And so yes — I’m celebrating. Loudly.
Because when you walk toward your future self,
When you lead with devotion,
When you dare to let people see you —

This is what happens.
You become the one who gets chosen.
Because you already chose yourself.

Thank you, Kurt.
Thank you, future self.
Thank you, imagination.
Thank you, Substack.

This is just the beginning.

I have an open heart, I receive the love the gifts, Your ears are my canvas.

Here is the full winning piece:

You Want It All. But You Don’t Want to Pay.

16,471 views.
170 subscribers.
Not even a handful of paying supporters.

And you tell me you love it.

You send heart emojis. You whisper “thank you” in the comments.
You say it changed something inside of you.

But where are you when the real exchange begins?

Where are you when it’s time to honor the voice that gave you those goosebumps?

Because what I’m giving you…
This isn’t content.

This is my frequency.
This is trained. This is torn open. This is crafted.
This is a woman risking it all — to speak what others won’t.

This Is Not Free to Make

I don’t type these posts casually.
I don’t just upload a Canva quote and go.

I record my voice — a voice I trained for years as a professional actress.
I speak to your nervous system, to your subconscious, to the part of you you’ve forgotten.

I spend hours writing. Then recording. Then formatting. Then publishing.

I do this with my heart beating like a war drum and my soul wide open.

I show up for you daily.

Not as a content creator —
But as a frequency keeper.

You Want Truth, Healing, Beauty… But Not the Price Tag

Let’s be honest:
We scroll past real work every day, wanting its impact but not its responsibility.

We consume transformation like snacks.
We expect depth to come free.
We demand access to someone else’s pain, devotion, and talent — without offering anything back.

To write the article I had to experience it, the experience has cost me: pain life time, maybe my own coaches with an hourly pay I dont want to bother you with but it is def HIGHLY above what my membership costs.

To create the image I am showing you I sit here up to 1-3 hours, because do not think AI get’s my vision right.

I just had a conversation with someone who gets so frustrated created with AI and I was FURIOUS many times!

Why not pay for my efforts and my heart, what is so …un -overcome -able?

If I gave you a lipstick or a mug, you’d pay. A car, You would def pay, A new dress? Def!

But I’m giving you your own soul back, and suddenly you hesitate?

This is the lie we’ve been sold:
That art, voice, and emotion should be free — especially from women.
Especially from spiritual women.
Especially from women who are too powerful to need help.

But that’s the very reason you should pay.

Because I’m building this for real.
Because this isn’t a side hobby — it’s my life.

What Are We Doing Here?

If you feel this work — if it has cracked something open inside you —
then the most powerful thing you can do… is to honor it.

Honor it with your money.
Honor it with your presence.
Honor it with your sharing.
Honor it with your yes.

Because otherwise, you’re just scrolling through someone else’s lifeblood, nodding “beautiful,” and moving on.

That’s not reverence.
That’s extraction.

And I’m not here to be extracted.

You Don’t Have to Pay Me. But You Do Have to Be Honest.

If this is not your kind of work, fine.

But if you keep reading, keep listening, keep whispering “wow” — and you still won’t support?

Then ask yourself: why not?

Is it really about money?

Or is it about worth?
Your own.
Mine.
Ours.

This Is Not a Guilt Trip. It’s an Invitation.

An invitation to choose integrity over invisibility.
To stand with the voices that wake something in you.
To say, “I see you. I feel you. I honor you.”
With more than words.

If You Read This and Felt a Hell Yes…

If you read this and thought —
“This is it.”
“Whoa.”
“This helped me.”
“This is what I needed.”
“Lisa, I’m grateful.”

But because your yes deserves to move.

Not just watching — but walking beside me.

They Say They Made $30K on Substack — But It’s Not What You Think

The Trap of ARR

On Substack, when someone says:

“I made $30,000 in a month!”
or
“My newsletter now makes $50K!”

It’s usually not true.
What they’re actually showing is Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR).
