Find your DNA, optimize your short description and bio, launch strategically, and make Notes work for you
Welcome to Stage 2 of your Substack Writers at Work paid-subscriber-only pathway!
This series assumes you’ve already completed or are comfortable with the Substack Newbie Pathway.
These 4 workshops, tutorials, cheat sheets, and expert guidance below are the next step in your Substack growth.
They aren’t quick tricks and hacks. They’re the kind of deeper work successful Substack writers and creators do to earn an income, get subscribers, and get real engagement.
No need to do them in order. Skip any that aren’t relevant to you and proceed to the next.
For paid subscribers.
Nothing from AI or a random Google search. 100% my expertise.

What’s next:
Introduce yourself in the chat if you haven’t already! If you have, that’s a community space for you to connect, get headline help, and ask questions. I do pop-up AMAs at certain times; otherwise, it’s your space. Magdalena is in there to moderate if you need anything.
If you work better 1:1 and want to get my eyes and guidance on your Substack, I see a limited number of private clients—book your Single Strategy Intensive here or 3-Session Substack Accelerator Package here.
If you want to accelerate your growth, you can get on the waitlist for the next opening of the Premier Level Membership here.
