Write • Build • Scale Sunday Digest

Write Better, Build Smarter & Scale Faster

Welcome to this week’s Write • Build • Scale Sunday Digest, your weekly dose of practical strategies, creative ideas, and honest lessons to help you grow your audience and income online.

If there's one theme behind everything we're sharing this week, it's this:

Your skills are already worth money. You just need the right systems to monetize them.

Whether you're thinking about starting on Substack, scaling a one-person business, or finally getting serious about building an audience, this week is all about turning what you know into consistent income.

Here's what's inside this week:


✍️ The Fastest Way to Make $1000 on Substack

If you're writing on Substack (or thinking about it) and wondering "Could I actually make money doing this?!"—the answer is YES.

Most writers think making money on Substack is about writing more, but it's actually about thinking like a business owner.

In this comprehensive guide, you'll learn:

  • ✅ What to put behind your paywall (and what NOT to put there)
  • ✅ The sweet spot for pricing your paid tier
  • ✅ How to run promotional campaigns that actually convert
  • ✅ The retention strategies that turn one-time buyers into long-term subscribers
  • ✅ Why focusing on annual plans can transform your revenue

This is the exact system we used to go from zero to over 800 paying members since joining Substack last year.


🎧 How to Build a $30K/Month One-Person Business

In this week's podcast, Michael Lim shares how he scaled his one-person business past $30K/month by focusing on leverage, not just hustle.

This isn't about complicated funnels or overnight success stories. It's about smart systems and knowing exactly where to focus your energy.

You'll discover:

  • The 3 P's framework: How to turn your profession, pain, or passion into profit
  • Why any niche—no matter how weird—can scale to six figures
  • The step-by-step path from freelancer → consultant → digital product creator
  • How to validate offers using social media before you build them
  • The easiest way to add leverage: one offer at different price points

If you've been overcomplicating your path to six figures, this episode will simplify everything.


💡 The Most Powerful Growth Hack Online

Sometimes the best advice comes in the smallest packages. This week's Substack note hit a nerve:

The truth? Your audience doesn't need you to be perfect.

They need you to be real, consistent, and willing to show up even when it feels uncomfortable.

Growth happens in the gap between where you are and where you think you should be.

One Last Thought Before You Go…

Your expertise is already valuable.

Your experience already matters.

Your perspective is already unique.

The only thing standing between you and consistent income is the right system to package and deliver what you know.

So this week, ask yourself:

What's one skill I have that could help someone solve a real problem?

Start there. Everything else is just details.

Here's to turning your knowledge into income and your passion into profit.

Warmly,
