]]><![CDATA[Welcome to Your Premier Membership!]]>https://www.substackwritersatwork.com/p/your-substack-premier-membership-4c7https://www.substackwritersatwork.com/p/your-substack-premier-membership-4c7Tue, 26 May 2026 15:47:14 GMT

Stay ahead of the curve.

I’m so, so happy to have you in the Premier.

The Premier Membership is my high-touch, ongoing group membership program, where you stay ahead of the curve as Substack gets more crowded and competitive.

The Premier isn’t about giving you more to do; it’s about more growth in less time.

In each Monthly Strategy Session, I give you behind-the-scenes intel based on what’s happening in my client sessions and on the platform in real time. You get the most up-to-date actionable steps, dedicated sessions to implement them, and guidance from the leading Growth Strategist.

At the same time, you get a dynamic curriculum to strengthen your Substack’s foundation and use Substack’s new data features to discover what’s really working for you and what to do based on your data, not random theories or what other people do.

Everything we do is rooted in my proprietary Substack DNA Growth Framework.™️ My approach is the only proven system across four years of pattern recognition and 1000+ case studies to grow subscribers, convert paid subscribers, get engagement, and sharpen your Substack’s value—the keys to every successful Substack.

How this works

Attend one Monthly Substack Premier Strategy Session the second week of each month:

  • Monthly group Strategy Sessions with me—where I give you an ongoing curriculum based on my proven Substack DNA Growth Framework to help you spark and maintain real, long-term growth + group mastermind-style “pods” + the most up-to-date information about what to focus on right now

    • Thursday, 2-3 PM CT + 3-3:30 bonus Office Hours.

    • Friday, 9-10 AM CT + 10-10:30 bonus Office Hours.

    • Saturday, 10-11 AM CT + 11-11:30 bonus Office Hours.

      • Replay + highlight reel will be emailed within 36 hours of the Saturday call.

Attend as many Weekly Office Hours and Implementation Calls with me as you like, where you get accountability, a chance to put everything we do into practice, and access to me, your personal Substack Growth Strategist, to get answers to your Substack questions

  • Thursdays at 1 PM CT (exceptions: holidays, in cases of illness or emergency, and on monthly call days).

  • Replays are available on our Premier Members homepage.

You also receive:

  • Full Premier Membership Library

  • Everything in the Substack Writers at Work paid subscription

NEW!

  • Access to all live intensives with guest experts and me, including these three:

    • How to Use Substack to Build Your Business Intensive with six-figure business owners and Substack phenoms Jeannine Ouellette, Nadine Kenney Johnstone, and me (June 6, 2026 | 12 PM - 3:30 PM CT)

    • How to Write a Profitable Newsletter Intensive with special guest teachers (September)

    • How to Turn Your Substack into Your Own Personal Media Platform Intensive (January)

Plus, you get to stop reading all the “how to do Substack” nonsense posts from other people because you know you’re in the best hands.

Notifications

  • The registration links, calendar invites, and an overview of what’s to come are sent on the first of the month.

  • You’ll be sent a reminder of Office Hours every Thursday and a reminder of the Monthly Strategy Sessions that week.

Make sure you get all our emails:
