Write Better, Build Smarter & Scale Faster

Welcome to the Write • Build • Scale Sunday Digest!

This is your weekly dose of practical strategies, creative ideas, and honest lessons to help you grow your audience and income online.

At Write • Build • Scale, we just wrapped up our biggest launch of the Substack System yet.

We kicked off the program with 85+ new members and couldn’t be more excited to help this next wave of writers and creators grow their audience, income, and confidence on Substack:

We’ll be sharing their success stories soon, but for now… this week’s resources are all about what happens after the excitement: how to build real, lasting momentum.

Here’s what’s inside this week:


✍️ What I Wish I Had Known Before Becoming a Full-Time Creator

This week's article resonated deeply with our community because it’s real.

It’s not about hacks or hype - it’s about the truth of the creator journey.

The long hours, the self-doubt, the constant learning curve, and why it’s all worth it in the end.

If you’ve ever looked at successful creators and thought “they must have it all figured out,” this post is your reminder that every creator starts from uncertainty.


🧠 Beat Imposter Syndrome & Overcome Limiting Beliefs

If you’ve ever doubted your work, delayed publishing, or felt like you weren’t “ready yet,” this week's episode of the Write • Build • Scale podcast is for you.

In this episode, Corey Wilks, Psy.D reveals:

  • Why imposter syndrome is actually a sign of growth
  • The four subconscious fears that keep creators stuck
  • How to stop waiting for permission to create
  • Why productivity hacks won’t help until you fix your mindset

🎥 How to Build an Audience That Actually Buys

Most creators build audiences that just consume their content.

They get followers.

They get likes.

But they fail to actually monetize their work.

In this new interview with John Ainsworth, I break down how I built a six-figure creator business by focusing on one simple principle:

Get people to buy something small first.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Turn your expertise into offers people actually want
  • Use writing to attract inbound leads (without cold DMs)
  • Build a multi-tier business: from $50 mini-courses to $5K+ coaching
  • Understand why some clients will pay more for less content

This conversation is full of “aha” moments for anyone who wants to sell online authentically.

One Last Thought Before You Go…

Momentum doesn’t come from big wins.

It comes from what you do after the win.

Whether you’ve just joined a new program, launched your first product, or published your first post, your next step matters most.

So this week, ask yourself:

👉 What small, consistent action can I take to build on the momentum I already have?

Here’s to another week of small steps, steady growth, and meaningful work,
