Designed by the author as an artifact of Substack Mastery Book

The new version of Substack Mastery is now available for purchase in bookstores and for reviews on Goodreads.

Dear beta readers,

Thank you for your valuable feedback on the previous seven chapters, which is helping me refine this book and enhance it as a valuable resource for fellow writers. I have covered seven critical aspects that have helped many readers jumpstart their Substack journey. Receiving gratitude messages daily warms my heart and inspires me to make this book a valuable knowledge source for the community.

As I mentioned in the purpose of this new book, I am not here to tell you what to do and how you do it. Instead, I discuss what has worked for me, what successful people have done, and why some failed quickly. I hope you can draw inspiration from these examples to craft a strategy and plan that aligns with your goals, needs, and aspirations.

What follows is a summary of how I approach growing my audience, meeting their needs, and maintaining a sustainable writing business. We are all unique, and what works for me may not work for everyone…
