My Substack Starter Course Is Here to Help You Start Smart
7 days, 7 emails: Launch and set up your Substack for long-term success
Every single day, I get messages from my subscribers asking:
How do I find people who want to read my newsletter?
What’s the difference between a follower and a subscriber?
What’s a Post? A Note? A Publication?
What do you mean by “update your publication description”? Where do I do that?
You get it…
When I started almost a year ago, I was so overwhelmed that I actually gave up after just one week.
I remember thinking, “Well, maybe Substack just isn’t for me.”
Thank all the writing gods I eventually figured it out—after hours of research, trial and error, and learning all the tips and tricks.
But it took me months.
Look at this ⬇️ graph. In the first couple of months, I made so many mistakes I lost count—and they cost me subscribers and money.
Most People Struggle with Substack at First
And I know I’m not alone. For most of you, the biggest challenge is simply getting the hang of how Substack works.
Here’s the thing: you can burn a lot of bridges early on if you don’t set up your Substack the right way.
I still have students struggling because of a few mistakes they made in the beginning.
And then there are others—those who signed up with me early—who now tell me:
“Without your guidance, I would’ve quit before I even got started.”
So today, I want to give you access to my newest creation:
➡️ The Substack Starter Course

April marks my final month before hitting one full year on Substack.
I started with nothing—no audience, no email list, no platform. Just daily writing.
3 months in: my first two paid subscribers (from one Note).
6 months in: steady income.
11 months in: my highest-earning month ever.
Substack changed my life. As a writer, creator, and solopreneur.
I went from investor-driven founder to building on my own terms.
If I can, so can you.
