You need to take the first scary steps, put your work out there, and be proud of it. Even if you're not 100% sure whether you're doing the right thing. Once you get started and build consistency, it only becomes easier. I'm about to invite you for a special experience where my team and I will take you by the hand and help you start writing on the internet within a week.

Ever since we joined the platform, we wanted Substack to...
