Welcome to Substack September 🧡


Hey Reader,

When I started to publish on Substack this summer, I received dozens of emails with questions like:

  • Why did you start to write on Substack?
  • Are you leaving Medium?
  • Is Substack better than Medium?
  • How did you grow your audience on Substack so quickly?!

The short answer is that Substack is an addition to my existing channels like Medium and Convertkit. I'm not replacing those.

And to be fair, Substack has proven to be an excellent addition with lots of benefits that I don't have on Medium or Convertkit.

To pass on what we've learned over the last two months, we decided to host a special boot camp called Substack September inside our paid Write • Build • Scale community this month.

However, after giving it a lot of thought, we decided to also make Substack September accessible to you so we can help you understand:

  • If Substack is an exciting opportunity for you
  • How you could possibly use Substack
  • What (not) to do when getting started
  • And how to truly make money using Substack (beyond paid subscriptions)

When you join us for Substack September, you'll be invited to various live events like:

On top of that, you'll receive behind-the-scenes insights and will be able to build your first publication together with us over the next weeks.

We'll share with you what we did to gain more than 800 subscribers within less than two months since launching the Write • Build • Scale publication on Substack:

Alright - let's get to the point:

For less than $60, you'll be able to get access to all trainings of Substack September and you'll get year-long access to our member-only content on Substack.

We're making this offer for 2 reasons:

  • Community and engagement plays a huge role on Substack. It's the primary reason we've been able to grow so quickly and is vital for your growth as well. When you join us, you'll be part of a thriving community that'll support your journey.
  • We want to gain paid subscribers to become Substack bestsellers!

Whew - that was a lot of bullet points! 🟠

Hit reply if you have any questions - I hope to meet you at Substack September!


Big love from my screen to yours,
Sinem

Hey Reader, One of the biggest lies in the online world is that there’s only one way to succeed. Everyone claims that their path, strategy, or method is the only right one.

Hey, my friend! We've replied to dozens of questions about mini-courses lately, but one of them stands out because it came up so often: "What's the #1 thing I need to get right to ensure my mini-course will be successful and profitable?" The truth is, it's not the sales page (although that's definitely important)... It's not the launch emails (even though those are also important)... It's the course topic. The most important step in creating a profitable mini-course is to choose a winning...

Hey Reader, After working with thousands of creators over the past few years, my team and I started to notice clear patterns. And honestly? We understand exactly why most people stay stuck because we've been there too. When my co-founders and I started our first businesses, we desperately wanted to build: 1️⃣ A profitable digital product that sells itself.You don’t want to just build another course—you want to create something people actually buy, love, and recommend. 2️⃣ An engaged audience...
