    Listen To This Before You Go All-In On Substack

    For the past two years, I’ve been going all-in on Substack. Together with my two co-founders, we’ve grown our publication to 44,000+ subscribers and 1,400+ paid subscribers - and leveraged Substack to build a $50k per month digital business. So, it’s safe to say I believe Substack is one of the best platforms out there right now for creators, professionals, and founders who want to build a real audience and a real business. But here’s the thing: I see a lot of people flocking to Substack right now with expectations that don’t match the reality of the platform. And when reality doesn’t match expectations, people quit — often right before things were about to actually work out. That’s why I wanted to share four things you need to understand before you go all-in on Substack, so you’re approaching it with the right mindset and strategies.

    3 Things You Should Know Before Creating Your First (or Next) Digital Product

    I created my very first digital product almost a decade ago. Since then, I’ve created and launched dozens more - online courses, workshops, eBooks, templates, tools - across different niches and different businesses. Over the years, those products have generated multiple six figures in revenue. And I’m still a big believer in digital products. Why? Because you put in the work once, and then the product can sell around the clock. While you’re sleeping. On the weekends. On random Mondays when you’re not even thinking about it. Digital products have always been at the center of every online business I’ve built. But if you’re thinking about creating your first (or next) digital product, there are a few things you should know before you start. These are lessons I learned the hard way - through trial and error. Let’s dive in.
