How to make (more) money through your writing
|
Hey Reader, Are you aiming to make more money through your writing in 2025? Maybe it's the first year you're giving online writing a shot at all? Either way, I've got something for you: My amazing co-founder Jari has written an incredibly useful guide that'll help you go from struggling to making a full-time income through your work (while ultimately working less than 25 hours/week!) >> The full guide is available for our members on Substack. Here's the 5-step process in a nutshell:
Action Point: Write down three challenges you’ve faced and successfully solved. Next, think about which one aligns best with the people you want to reach. This is the foundation of your writing business.
Action Point: Choose one writing platform (we're betting on Substack this year) and commit to it for at least six months. Avoid the temptation to spread yourself thin across multiple platforms.
Action Point: Start your email list today. Even if you have zero subscribers, focus on creating high-quality content that solves the problem you identified in Step #1.
Action Point: Set up your first (or next) paid offer. Think about how you can package your expertise into a product or service that solves your audience’s problem.
Action Point: Write down your top priorities for the next six months. Keep them visible and use them as a filter for any new opportunities that come your way. If you join our paid plan on Substack today, you'll not only get access to the full deep dive but you'll also be invited to our first live Workshop of the year happening on Monday: We host these hands-on workshops to remove any roadblocks and answer all your questions, so you can leverage the massive growth opportunity on Substack right now. Join us today to participate LIVE on Monday (or get access to the full replay next Sunday). |

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...
Hey Reader, Quick question: Did you already set your (writing) goals for the year?!

Watch Now If the first few days of the year haven't been great for you (or if you caught a cold just like me), treat today as a "second start" of the year! It's...
Hey Reader, I write hundreds of newsletters per year, but this one is particularly close to my heart. The start of a new year is a special time for most people, but for me, it's also a reminder of how I took the leap to build my writing business. Five years ago, I decided to go all-in on my writing. I set a simple New Year's Resolution to write every day. And I actually did it. Three months later, my work was read by close to a million people, and I was hitting 5 figures in earnings per...
