Substack Premier Membership FAQs
How long does the Premier Membership last?
Your Premier Membership lasts one year.
Who is it for?
Those who’ve actively been on Substack for more than three months. You may not know the backend and may still feel like a fledgling, but you understand the basics.
Also, those who’ve worked with me 1:1 for three or more sessions or have taken my Substack Foundations Course or Blueprint Course.
What if I'm brand new to Substack?
The Premier tier is designed for writers past the brand-new beginner stage. If you’re just starting, I suggest enrolling in my Signature Substack Accelerator Course in October 2025. Get on the waitlist here.
What if I have a large Substack and devoted audience?
It’s not suited to those with large Substacks and an established audience of superfans who feel like they’re hitting a ceiling on Substack. I suggest working with me 1:1.
What if I fall behind?
It’s not possible. We’re always talking about every quadrant and part of the Substack Growth Framework, and your monthly summary will keep you updated.
What's the difference between Paid and Premier membership?
Paid membership is DIY—you get resources, weekly guidance, live sessions on 2025 Substack trends, and community Notes Boost Challenges. Premier is guided and mentored—everything in Paid PLUS monthly growth plans with feedback, accountability, group coaching and office hours with me, and live cohort connection with committed Substack writers.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes, you can pay in installments via Affirm, Klarna, and Cash Pay.
Are there refunds?
No. All Premier Membership sales are final. Make sure you're ready to commit before joining.
Can I pause or freeze my membership?
No pausing or freezing. If you need to step away, you'll miss that month's content and calls.
When can I join the Premier membership?
The Premier Membership is only available during specific enrollment periods when doors are open. You can't upgrade between these periods.
How does the Premier Members Spotlight work?
Premier members get featured in Substack Writers at Work and exposed to tens of thousands of readers. This isn't a competition—it's based on the criteria Substack uses to feature Substacks.
What's included in the 30-Day Blueprints?
Step-by-step monthly guides with custom templates based on my Substack Growth Framework. These aren't generic—they're built from real client data and results.
How do Office Hours work?
These are Premier-member-only sessions where you get direct access to me for all your Substack questions. Schedule and format details are in your member portal.
What's the Substack Strategy Handbook?
My complete A–Z guide for navigating the platform and building a profitable Substack. This is exclusively for Premier members and covers everything from my proprietary framework to advanced optimization strategies.
What kind of feedback will I get?
Direct feedback from me during your mini-audit (if you choose to have one), personalized answers to your Substack in Office Hours, and community feedback during breakout rooms and meetups.
Will I get individual attention from you?
In a group setting, yes. This isn't 1:1 coaching, but you do get direct access and personalized guidance, plus a mini-audit, a snapshot version of what I give my 1:1 clients in private sessions for $550.
What if I don't like group settings?
Premier includes significant group elements—live calls, breakout rooms, and community interaction. If you prefer purely individual work, consider my 1:1 strategy sessions instead.
Can I share Premier content with others?
No. All Premier content, calls, and materials are for members only and not to be shared outside the membership.
What technical requirements do I need?
Reliable internet for live Zoom calls, ability to access Substack and email, and basic comfort with digital platforms.
