I see a lot of people thinking that starting a Substack is somehow the secret to finding new clients and making good money in your online business, but y’all should know by now that it’s never that easy. Yes, there are people making good money with that platform, but they typically already have an audience they’ve built some other way—not to mention the fact that they don’t own their shit, Substack does! If you want to monetize your emails and blogs, you absolutely can (and should!), but there are far better ways to do it.
Let’s chat.
Welcome to Maestro on the Mic, a podcast that helps online business owners find their passion, generate more profit, and build a life that they love. I'm your host, Dr. Shanté Cofield, aka The Movement Maestro, and I’m stoked to have you here. I hope this podcast inspires you to make moves and do the thing. Action is the answer.
In This Episode You'll Hear:
- What the hell is Substack?
- Own all of your shit as soon you can
- An audience doesn’t appear out of the blue
- You need tech tenacity
- Growth takes time (and luck!)
