You're doing it the wrong way


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.

But the truth is that there are a million different ways to:

  • Grow your audience
  • Build a digital business
  • And monetize your expertise

Want proof?

We recently teamed up with 10+ creators and asked them a single question:

"What’s ONE strategy that helped you make $10k in a single month?"

The result is $10k Secrets, an anthology featuring 10+ different creators who each share a strategy that helped them earn $10,000 or more in a single month.

What I love most about this book is the diversity of approaches.

Some creators doubled down on email funnels.

Others built mini-courses, launched challenges, or ran powerful partnerships.

No two stories are alike—but every strategy worked for the individual creator, which means it can also work for you.

At Write • Build • Scale, we always highlight that there’s no black or white in the creator world.

There’s no single blueprint that works for everyone.

You have to find what fits you—what feels fun, energizing, and profitable based on your unique strengths and preferences.

So if you want real stories, practical strategies, and proof that there’s more than one way to succeed—download your copy of the $10k Secrets ebook by subscribing to the 10k Secrets publication on Substack:

Big love from my screen to yours,

Hey Reader, At the beginning of 2024, I set a simple goal: Running 5 kilometers without stopping. I did it on December 29th. Don't judge me, it was a busy year. Just kidding—I was just really good at making excuses for 12 months. Next, I signed up for a 10km race with a 12-week training plan. But through a happy coincidence, I ended up running my first 10 kilometers six weeks ahead of schedule in a pretty coastal town in Spain. 🇪🇸 It wasn't even a challenge because I had been so afraid of the...

Hey Reader, When my team and I created the Write • Build • Scale publication on Substack last year, we didn't know exactly what role Substack could play in our business. Is it a newsletter platform? A growth channel? Social media? We didn't know, and even creators who had been on the platform for months couldn't really articulate why they thought Substack would be the "next big thing" for creators. A year later, I finally understand: It was hard to clearly describe what exactly Substack is...
