Write Better, Build Smarter & Scale Faster

Welcome to the Write • Build • Scale Sunday Digest, where we help you grow your audience and income with simple strategies, creative ideas, and zero fluff.

Most creators believe growth comes from brute force: publishing more, hustling harder, spending endless hours glued to their screens.

But the truth is that sustainable growth often comes from the hidden levers you might be missing.

This week, we’re highlighting three powerful (and often underrated) levers you can use to accelerate your growth.


#1: Untapped Growth Strategies

Everyone repeats the same advice for growing on Substack: “publish weekly, engage with readers, create high-quality content,..”

That's useful, sure.

But let's be honest: it's not groundbreaking.

What if growth came from the less obvious strategies?

In this week’s YouTube video, I break down 7 Substack growth strategies no one talks about.

From how to design your paid content to how you can leverage SEO for more visibility.


#2: Validating Before You Build

Another overlooked growth lever is validation.

Too many creators waste months (sometimes even years) building products no one buys, simply because they skip this crucial step.

But growth isn’t just about creating more content or "better" products.

It’s about creating the right offers for the right people.

That’s exactly what we discussed in this week's episode of the Write • Build • Scale podcast with Landon Poburan: how to validate, build, and sell your first digital product.

The episode is a full roadmap to avoid the most common mistakes and start earning faster with less guesswork.

You can catch the full episode on YouTube:


#3: Smarter Work With AI

The third lever is to leverage smarter tools.

AI won’t replace your voice, but it can free up hours of your time, sharpen your ideas, and help you publish faster without burning out:

👉 Here's a step-by-step workshop on how to use AI to write more effectively

👉 In this piece, I share exactly how to decide which digital product to create - backed up by AI prompts to help you make important decisions.

👉 And here's an AI Voice Dictation Software that's become irreplaceable in our workflows.


One Last Thought Before You Go…

Growth doesn’t come from doing everything.

It comes from doubling down on the few things that actually move the needle.

This week, ask yourself:

  • Which growth lever have I been ignoring?
  • What’s one overlooked strategy, validation step, or tool I can test right now?

Sometimes, the biggest difference comes from the smallest shift.

Keep writing, building, and scaling, my friend.
