Author’s Canva creation.

I was skeptical of Substack.

When I first joined the platform in June 2023, I didn’t see what the fuss was about. It seemed to lack basic features. And the user experience wasn’t great. It felt clunky and was a ghost town.

But Substack surprised me.

I came back to the platform in July 2024. They added incredible features such as DMs and Notes and made the overall user experience better. I started to use the platform more. Understood the philosophy behind it. And did my research on the Founders.

I’ve been converted. And I was too quick to judge. My bad.

With Substack, I’ve taken my one-person business to the next level. I’ve built a new distribution channel, created an owned audience, and built a complete sales and marketing funnel on the platform.

I’ve gone from $9–18k in the 7 months on the platform.

Here’s how to add $2–5k to your one-person business with Substack.

You have a superpower.

What is it?
