Power-up Your Substack in 2025

You’re invited to join me, Karen, in a private 4 session workshop for 10 Substack creators.

You’ll get direct access to me in a supportive small-group environment, plus a peek behind the scenes of my publications.

The goal is to get you a thriving, impactful, income-generating publication in less than 4 hours per week.

We’ll get there by implementing my proven recipe for Substack growth:

  • Week 1: We’ll use a structured process to review your current offer and create a roadmap to a publication that feels great to you and your audience. By the end of week one you’ll have clarity about where to from here.

  • Week 2: My 4-part framework for growth. Successful publications use a 4-step system for getting new people to read, subscribe, stay around and upgrade. We’ll map out how this looks for you and get you on your way to effortless growth.

  • Week 3: Networks. Connections with other creators and thought leaders in your space make growth and long-term success easier and more fun. Learn to leverage the power of community and collaboration.

  • Week 4: Monetization. Begging for subscriptions isn’t the best way to grow an audience. We’ll explore five ways to monetize a Substack publication and discover which method feels right to you. (Want to make an impact without monetizing? Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered with a bonus podcasting module)

Here’s what you’ll get:

  • A road map for your next 12 weeks on Substack, so you know where to focus your energies and what you need to do to get your next 100 subscribers and your next 1,000 dollars

  • A strategy that feels right for you and your readers, without begging, haggling or hours of social media posts

  • A collaborative, supportive group environment, hosted on Zoom

  • Access to my expertise, as we work through your questions together

  • A clear path for growing your publication into one that can easily make you an extra $1K online

Whether you want to make an impact on more people by sharing your wisdom, or want to improve your own life with extra income, join me to get there faster and with more confidence.

Investment?

Substack Powerup costs just $US97 per week – if you get even five paying subscribers it will be more than enough to cover the fee.

When?

The workshop sessions are on Thursdays at 12pm PST (that’s 8pm London, 3 pm New York, 7am (Friday) Sydney), starting 30th January 2025.

Bonus: private community group

You’ll get access to a private community group where you can meet and support your fellow workshop members, swap recommendations and discuss collaboration ideas together. Who knows, you might just find your new Substack bestie!

Bonus: Q and A session

I’ll hold a one hour Q and A session two weeks later, to answer any questions you got while implementing your plan.

Who am I?

I’m the proud owner of a paid publication on the topic of food safety (yup, I don’t only write about writing on Substack). I launched in 2021 and it currently makes $22,280 per year, working on it one day per week. Together with my free publication, Pubstack Sucess, I have 8,488 subscribers.

My Substack style is low hype, low stress and free from the hyperbole of the online bros. It’s less about going viral, more about building with care: I’m all about finding a path that will create a meaningful impact for you and your readers without chasing stats and churning out social media content.

Oh, and I’m a qualified adult training facilitator, and I literally wrote the book on making money on Substack.

Final words

  • Clarity for your Substack journey.

  • An implementable framework for growth and profits in less than 4 hours per week.

  • Personalised advice to get your publication thriving in a way that feels right for you.
