Build a Solid Foundation for How You Want to Connect and Build Your Community on Substack
This is so much more than Build Your Substack in a Day, it's a masterclass in building your brand on Substack with bonus behind the scenes.
Substack is NOT an intuitive process just ask my clients + past workshop participants. This is why I created this workshop and we are doing this step-by-step together!
This workshop will leave you feeling accomplished with the clarity of how Substack can work for you and your business.
Join live on Friday June 6th from 12:00 to 2:00 pm EST for a deep dive!
Create your profile + publication and work on the action steps to create your community through newsletters, Notes, podcast, audio, and or video.
Join the live online workshop to walk through the building of a brand new Substack publication with templates + a checklist. This will also be recorded with a transcript.
Who this training is for
- You’re exhausted and drained and can’t handle another platform but know there is something about the energy of Substack, so you want to intentionally create your newsletter and build on the platform.
- You want someone to guide you through the process of setting up your Substack, including how to add elements like a podcast, audio, and video without spending countless hours learning a new platform.
- You’re ready for a shift in the way you’ve been building your presence; what you have done for years is no longer working for you!
- You haven't implemented what you wanted to do yet this year. Perhaps, it was getting into a regular posting schedule for Instagram but you can't bring yourself to do it. Or maybe Reels aren’t something you are interested in creating.
- You want to know that people are actually seeing your content vs. creating to hear crickets.
- You just want to press the reset button. I hear you and will guide you along the way to setting up your publication step-by-step.

"I went from beta testing a Squarespace site to starting a Substack, something I had never heard of before. I attracted a client that she had been considering reaching out to me for months, and after seeing my consistent Substack newsletter prompted her to get in touch. Working with this client has helped me identify new opportunities to expand my sources of income, and more importantly, how to broaden the reach of Gardens of Sol and make urban garden education more accessible!" — Brittney Portes
