3 types of stories that WORK


Hey Reader,

Did you ever wonder why some writers and creators manage to reach millions of readers while others hear.. crickets?! 🦗

Well, there are a couple of reasons, but here's the one with the biggest impact: Great writing is great storytelling.

As humans, we thrive on stories.

Even if we want to learn something, stories help us capture the essence much better than raw, factual information.

So, if you've been wondering about what you could do differently to get more views on your content and grow your audience, the answer is to tell more stories!

Well, it'd be rude of me to tell you how important stories are without actually helping you write better ones, right?!

That's why I recently published an in-depth piece with dozens of examples that'll help you become a better storyteller. 👇

Grow your audience on Substack next year

Earlier this year, I (re)joined Substack and started to republish my existing work.

With hundreds of long-form articles under my belt and a writing business that helps writers (very meta, I know), it seemed to be the next logical step in our journey.

After only a few weeks, it was clear we had made the right choice, and 60 days later, we already received our Bestseller badges.

It's been an exciting and incredibly rewarding journey so far, and I can't wait to further leverage the platform in 2025 and help our clients do the same.

We're hosting the final live Roundtable of this year on Monday and will dive into how you can build smart systems to grow on Substack.

We'll dive into three areas in particular:

  • Substack Notes
  • Your Publication
  • Monetization

Our paid subscribers can join the session live and will get access to the full replay as well.

Upgrade to our paid tier now and join us live on Monday so you're ready to absolutely crush it on Substack in the new year. 🧡


Big love from my screen to yours,
Sinem

Hey Reader, Ever since we launched the Write • Build • Scale publication on Substack, we've been facing a challenge. We talked to dozens of creators who have been on Substack for much longer than we have. We even talked to the Substack team. And we kept facing the same unsatisfying answer: There's no perfect solution. The problem we faced was how to best combine Substack with the tools and platforms we've already been using for years. Ever since we joined the platform, we wanted Substack to...
