Grow Your Substack Without the Guesswork.

$37

Growing a Substack isn’t just about writing more. It’s about understanding what makes people discover your work, subscribe, come back, share it — and eventually buy from you.

After spending my first months figuring this out through trial and error, I built two Substack publications to a combined community of 7,500+ followers and subscribers. In What I Learned Growing to 7,500+ on Substack, I share what actually worked, what didn’t, and what I would do differently if I were starting again.

This isn’t theory. It’s the system, lessons and strategies I learned by building my own publications from the ground up.

What’s Included:

How to position your Substack so people immediately understand why they should subscribe (including how to find your central idea, define who you’re writing for and create clear content pillars).
How to create newsletters people actually want to open, read and share (from stronger headlines and signature formats to creating a publishing rhythm you can realistically sustain).
My approach to Substack Notes and how I use them for discovery and growth (including what I learned from experimenting with Notes and why I stopped treating them simply as another place to promote my newsletter).
How to turn readers into a real community (and why replies, conversations, collaborations and repeated interaction can matter just as much as subscriber numbers).
The growth loops that helped me stop relying on simply publishing more (including content, network and conversation loops that create more ways for readers to discover and return to your work).
How I use Instagram to lead people towards my Substack (and why I think of social media as the pathway while the newsletter is where the deeper relationship happens).
The simple Substack rhythm I use to keep growing without being online all day (what I focus on daily, weekly and occasionally — and what I stopped spending time on).
How I started turning my audience into income (including what my first month selling taught me, how I find product ideas through my readers, and why you don’t need a huge audience before you start monetizing).
How to create and launch your first digital product simply (from identifying the right problem and choosing the right format to pricing, launching and learning from your first buyers).
How to turn one product into a small sales system (so your newsletter, Notes, social content, landing page and reader feedback work together instead of constantly having to create something new).

Whether you’re starting your first Substack or already publishing but struggling to grow, this guide gives you a practical look inside what I learned building mine — so you can take what works for your publication and shorten the distance between starting and figuring it all out.

This guide offers guidance based on personal experience and proven practices, but results will vary depending on your effort, consistency, audience, and external factors.
