    Before You Publish: How to Protect Your Best Ideas and Create Bigger Writing Opportunities

    A lot of coaches, creators, and spiritual entrepreneurs are already writing. They are publishing on Substack. Posting on Medium. Sharing on LinkedIn. Writing blog posts on their own websites. Putting thoughtful ideas into the world with consistency and heart. That is not the problem. The real issue is that many people do not realize they are making a publishing decision the moment they hit publish. In this week’s Monetize Your Mission Mastermind, Jill sat down with Krissi Driver , writing coach, ghostwriter, and content strategist, to talk about first rights, publication strategy, and how writers and entrepreneurs can think more intentionally about where their work belongs. Krissi shared that she helps writers and entrepreneurs pitch and submit to media outlets and literary publications, and that her own bylines include The New York Times, The Guardian, Business Insider, and Fast Company. Why This Conversation Matters for Coaches and Spiritual Entrepreneurs For conscious business owners, content is not just content. Content builds visibility.Content builds trust.Content builds authority.Content attracts aligned people.Content can create mission-based income when it is used strategically. That is why this conversation matters so much. Many entrepreneurs are taught to publish everywhere as quickly as possible. Krissi offers a more thoughtful approach. She explains that when your work is posted publicly, even on your own platform, that can count as publication. In other words, you may be using up your first rights without realizing it. For someone who wants to grow through mainstream publications, literary journals, anthologies, or guest articles, that distinction matters. 🎗️Don’t just subscribe for free - For a limited time only… 🎁 Paid subscribers receive exclusive access to the First Paid Subscriber Roadmap Assessment.

What Are First Rights? Krissi breaks it down simply. First rights means the first opportunity to publish a piece of work. If you publish the piece yourself first, you have already made that choice. That is not wrong. It just means some future options may be off the table. She also makes an important point that many business owners miss: Published does not only mean a newspaper or magazine.It can also mean: * A Substack post * A Medium article * A blog post * A third-party website * Even public social content, depending on the format That one shift in understanding can completely change how you plan your content. The Mistake Many Writers Make Krissi gives an example of someone who writes a personal essay, posts it on Substack, and then later sees a publication looking for that exact kind of story. At that point, the editor may decline it because the piece has already been published. That is not because the writing is bad. It is because the publication often wants original work. This is where strategy matters. Not every piece needs to go to a larger publication. But some pieces might do more for your visibility, authority, and audience growth if they are pitched first and self-published later. When First Rights Matter Most Krissi explains that first rights matter most when you are considering places that usually want original work, including: * Literary journals and magazines * Print magazines * Newspapers * Online publications * Anthologies * Writing contests She also notes that some places occasionally accept previously published work, but those opportunities are less common. So the practical takeaway is simple: Before you publish, pause long enough to understand your options. 📌Save For Later How to Decide Where a Piece Belongs One of the strongest ideas in the conversation is that there is no single perfect home for every piece of writing. Some pieces are best on your own platform. Some are better pitched elsewhere. Krissi says that if a piece is mainly there to serve your own audience with information about your business, then your own platform is probably the right place. But if the piece can benefit or entertain a wider audience, it may be a strong candidate for pitching or submission. That is a powerful filter for anyone creating content in a mission-driven business. Feeling stuck between having a powerful message and not knowing how to consistently market it in a way that feels aligned? Subscribe to the Monetize Your Mission Podcast for grounded, actionable conversations that help you grow your audience, attract aligned clients, and build a business that supports your mission. Questions to Ask Before You Publish Krissi walks through several questions that can help you make a better publishing decision: * What type of piece is this? * What is the goal of this piece? * Has this exact piece already been published? * Who is the audience? * Could it be stronger with revisions? * Should this be submitted as a finished draft or pitched as an idea? These questions are useful far beyond traditional writing. They also apply to thought leadership, personal brand storytelling, educational content, and authority-building articles for coaches and service providers. What Bigger Publication Opportunities Can Do for Your Business Krissi talks openly about the benefits of placing work outside your own platform. A larger publication can help you: * Reach more readers * Build authority * Grow your audience * Support another project * Stack bylines * Increase visibility * Earn a little money from your writing That matters for conscious entrepreneurs because visibility is not just about vanity. The right visibility can support your work in the world. It can help the right people find you. It can create trust faster. It can give your message more reach without asking you to be louder than you want to be. A More Strategic Way to Think About Content This conversation is a reminder that content is not only about consistency. It is also about placement. A thoughtful piece may become: * A Substack post * A guest article * A pitch to a mainstream outlet * A literary essay * A contest submission * A visibility asset that leads people back to your list or offers That kind of strategy helps your content work harder for your mission.

    The Substack Mistake That’s Costing Coaches Visibility

    Many coaches make the same mistake with Substack. They treat it like just another newsletter platform. That approach sounds harmless, but it can quietly limit your visibility, weaken your authority, and make content creation feel more fragmented than it needs to be. When Substack is only used as an email tool, its bigger potential gets missed. For coaches, spiritual entrepreneurs, and transformational leaders, Substack can be much more than a place to send updates. It can become a publishing platform, a content hub, a relationship-building tool, and a visibility engine that helps your work reach more of the right people. In this Monetize Your Mission Mastermind session, Jill Hart breaks down what Substack really is, what it is not, and how to use it in a more strategic way so your content supports audience growth, authority building, and aligned client attraction. The Mistake: Using Substack Like a Simple Newsletter A lot of coaches hear about Substack and assume it is basically a newsletter tool with a little extra polish. That is the mistake. When you see Substack only through that lens, you miss the social side, the discoverability features, the publishing tools, the podcast support, the repurposing opportunities, and the ways it can help your content live longer and work harder. Instead of becoming a central home for your message, it gets treated like one more channel to keep up with. That usually leads to one of two outcomes. Either it gets neglected, or it becomes another task on the content checklist without producing much momentum. What Substack Actually Is One of the most useful distinctions Jill makes is that Substack has two sides. There is the publication side, where you create long-form content, posts, podcast episodes, and written pieces. Then there is the social side, where people can follow you, discover your content in the feed, and engage with what you share. That matters because it changes how you think about the platform. You are not only sending content to people who already know you. You are also creating content inside a system that can support discovery and conversation. For coaches, that is important. Visibility grows faster when your content is not trapped in one format or one delivery method. Why This Mistake Costs Coaches Visibility When Substack is underused, coaches often lose visibility in a few key ways. * First, they miss the opportunity to build a body of work that shows their thinking. A thoughtful archive of posts, podcasts, notes, and conversations builds trust over time. * Second, they miss organic discovery. Followers may see your work in the feed even if they are not email subscribers yet. That creates a softer path into your world. * Third, they miss the chance to repurpose content efficiently. One strong episode or post can become multiple assets, but only if you use the platform strategically. The result is a business that keeps creating content but does not get the full return on that effort. Followers, Subscribers, and Smarter Audience Building Another useful point from the session is the difference between followers and subscribers. Followers can see your content in the social feed. Subscribers receive your content in their inbox. Both matter, and both serve different purposes. This gives you more flexibility in how people enter your ecosystem. Not everyone is ready to join your email list right away, but they may still want to follow your work. That means Substack can support relationship-building at different stages of readiness. This is especially helpful for coaches and service providers. Audience growth is not only about collecting emails. It is also about creating enough resonance and visibility that the right people want to stay connected. Notes Are a Visibility Tool, Not Just a Feature Jill also emphasizes the role of notes, and this is one of the most practical takeaways in the whole training. Notes help drive visibility. They give you a lightweight way to stay present, start conversations, resurface ideas, and bring attention back to your longer-form content. They can also be scheduled, edited, and used more intentionally than many people realize. For coaches who feel intimidated by long-form publishing, notes can be a great entry point. They create momentum without requiring a full article or full episode every time. And for coaches already publishing deeper content, notes help extend the life of that content and bring more eyes to it. How One Episode Can Become Much More This is where the visibility piece really starts to click. Jill shows how one video or podcast episode can turn into a whole ecosystem of content. A native video post on Substack can lead to clips, notes, transcript downloads, longer-form written content, and wider distribution. That means one original conversation can become: * A full video or podcast post * Multiple clips * Notes for visibility and engagement * A written article based on the transcript * Additional content for social platforms * Searchable, evergreen content inside your publication This is a much smarter model than creating from scratch every time. For coaches with limited time, it creates a more sustainable content rhythm. For coaches who want authority, it creates more touchpoints around the same core message. Why Native Publishing Builds More Authority One of Jill’s strongest recommendations is to publish natively on Substack rather than using it only as a place to embed content from elsewhere. Why? Because native publishing gives you access to more of the platform’s tools. It allows you to work with clips, notes, transcripts, and built-in publishing features in a way that better supports visibility over time. This is not just about convenience. It is about authority. When your work lives natively on the platform, it is easier to organize, repurpose, discover, and revisit. It creates a stronger home base for your thought leadership. For coaches, that matters. Authority is built when your message is easy to find, easy to engage with, and clearly connected across formats. 📌Save For Later Small Optimization Choices Matter The session also highlights the importance of titles, subtitles, headers, and structure. This may seem like a smaller detail, but it plays a major role in discoverability. Clear titles help people know what your content is about. Strategic subtitles help reinforce the topic. Headers improve readability and help organize longer pieces. These choices do more than make a post look polished. They help both humans and search systems understand your content. If your work is transformational, nuanced, or rooted in deep coaching conversations, clarity matters even more. The clearer your structure, the easier it is for the right people to recognize the value of what you do. Templates Make Consistency Easier Another practical strategy Jill shares is the use of templates. Templates reduce friction. When you already have a repeatable structure for calls to action, signature sections, community invitations, or bio blocks, it becomes much easier to publish consistently. You spend less time reinventing the format and more time focusing on the message. This matters because many coaches do not struggle with ideas. They struggle with turning those ideas into repeatable, visible content. Templates make that easier. They support consistency, and consistency supports authority. Want aligned clients? Get daily momentum and proven visibility strategies inside. A Better Way to Use Substack for Your Coaching Business The real shift is this: Stop using Substack like just another newsletter. Start using it like a visibility system. That means seeing it as a place where your long-form content, short-form content, social visibility, podcasting, and audience growth can work together. It means building from one strong piece of content instead of scattering your energy across disconnected platforms. It means using Substack as a strategic home for your message, not just a delivery tool. For coaches, this creates a more grounded and sustainable way to grow. It helps your ideas travel further. It helps your audience understand your work more deeply. And it helps you build authority without needing to be everywhere all at once. Ultimately, The Substack mistake that costs coaches visibility is not being on the platform. It is using the platform too narrowly. When Substack is treated as just another newsletter, its real value gets lost. But when it is used as a publishing hub, a relationship-building tool, and a content repurposing engine, it becomes a much stronger asset for your business. For coaches, spiritual entrepreneurs, and transformational leaders, that shift can support more visibility, stronger authority, and more aligned growth. Substack works best when it becomes the place where your message lives, expands, and keeps working for you long after you hit publish. With love & clarity,Jill Hart | The Coach’s Alchemist Most coaches are doing all the things… posting, showing up, creating content… …and still not seeing consistent clients. Not because the content is bad. Because there’s no clear client acquisition system behind it. That’s exactly what the Client Acquisition Audit is designed to fix.

If your message is there but the clients aren’t… this will show you why. 👉 Book your Client Acquisition Audit here Hi, I’m Jill Hart, The Coach’s Alchemist.

    A Case of Mistaken Identity - Organize Your Substack With Categories, Sections, And Tags

    It may be your structure. A lot of people start Substack thinking they are building a newsletter. But what you are really building is a publication. That means your readers need more than good posts. They need clear pathways to explore your work, understand your message, and stay inside your world longer. That is exactly what categories, sections, and tags help you do. In this Monetize Your Mission Mastermind session, Jill breaks down how to organize your Substack so it supports visibility, reader trust, search discoverability, and stronger client attraction over time. Why Substack Structure Matters When your publication is organized clearly, people can tell what you do much faster. They can find the content that matters most to them. They can follow related topics more easily. And they are more likely to keep reading instead of clicking away after one post. This kind of structure also gives search engines and AI systems more context about your work. Instead of seeing random disconnected content, they can start to recognize the themes, topics, and pathways your publication is built around. That matters more than ever. Substack is no longer just a place to send emails. It can become a content library, a search asset, a community bridge, and a client attraction tool when you set it up intentionally. Feeling stuck between having a powerful message and not knowing how to consistently market it in a way that feels aligned? Subscribe to the Monetize Your Mission Podcast for grounded, actionable conversations that help you grow your audience, attract aligned clients, and build a business that supports your mission. What Categories Do On Substack Categories are the broadest layer of organization. Think of them as the main umbrella your publication lives under. They tell both readers and platforms what larger conversation your work belongs to. Depending on your work, that could be business, education, health and wellness, faith and spirituality, culture, or another aligned category. The important thing is not choosing the biggest category just because it sounds impressive. In many cases, a smaller and more aligned category gives you a better chance of standing out. A broad category may have more traffic, but it often comes with more competition. A smaller category can create more relevance and make it easier for the right people to find you. The question to ask is simple: Does this category fit the heart of my work while still giving me room to be a whole person inside my publication? That is usually the sweet spot. 📌Save For Later How Sections Help Readers Understand Your Work If categories are your umbrella, sections are the rooms inside the house. This is where your Substack starts to feel organized and intentional. Sections help you separate different content types, themes, or reader pathways. You might have one section for podcast episodes, one for teachings, one for visibility strategy, one for personal reflections, or one for community updates. The goal is not to create as many sections as possible. The goal is clarity. When someone lands on your publication, they should be able to understand what you do and where to go next without having to sort through a mixed pile of unrelated posts. A strong section structure helps your Substack feel easier to browse, easier to binge, and easier to trust. In most cases, keeping your sections in the three to seven range is more than enough. That gives you room to organize your work without overwhelming your readers or spreading your content too thin. Why Tags Matter More Than Most People Realize Tags are where many creators get messy. It is easy to treat them like social media hashtags, but that approach usually creates confusion instead of clarity. A better way to think about tags is this: tags are searchable topic labels. They help connect related pieces of content across your publication. They allow posts from different sections to live under the same theme. And they create extra pathways for readers to discover what they care about most. For example, you might write about client attraction in a teaching post, mention it again in a podcast recap, and return to it in a visibility article. Tags help tie those pieces together so a reader interested in that topic can keep going deeper. That is what makes your publication feel useful and connected. How To Use Tags Strategically A strong tag strategy is usually simpler than people expect. You do not need dozens of tags. You do not need a brand new phrase for every post. And you do not need to label every tiny nuance. What works better is choosing a smaller set of relevant, repeatable tags and using them consistently. That means: * choosing phrases your audience would actually search for * using a few strategic tags per post instead of a huge list * keeping your naming consistent * letting your tags reinforce the themes you want to be known for This helps your publication feel more coherent over time. It also helps your readers and the platform understand what your work is really about. Build A Library, Not A Timeline This is the mindset shift underneath the whole conversation. If you treat your Substack like a timeline, every post has to work on its own and then quickly disappears beneath the next thing. If you treat your Substack like a library, every post becomes part of a larger body of work. That changes how people experience your publication. They do not just read one thing and leave. They find a trail. They follow a topic. They move from one section to another. They begin to understand the depth of your work, not just the latest post you published. That is what strong structure creates. A library is easier to navigate. Easier to trust. Easier to recommend. Easier to grow. The Real Goal Is Not Just More Subscribers It is possible to grow a subscriber count without building real momentum. What matters more is whether the right people are finding you and engaging with what you share. Are they reading?Are they staying?Are they exploring more than one post?Are they joining your community, replying to your emails, or moving toward your offers? That is the real measure. A well-organized Substack supports more than discoverability. It supports authority. It supports connection. It supports aligned growth. When your content is easier to understand and easier to navigate, the right readers are more likely to stay in your world. A Simple Next Step For Your Substack If your publication feels disorganized right now, start small. Review your categories and make sure they truly fit the work you want to be known for. Look at your sections and ask whether they help a new reader understand your world quickly. Then review your tags and tighten them until they reflect the language your audience is already using. You do not need to rebuild everything at once. You just need to start organizing with more intention. Because when your Substack is structured well, your content works harder for you long after you hit publish.

    How To Use LinkedIn To Grow Your Substack Audience

    If you are writing on Substack but not actively using LinkedIn, you may be leaving a powerful subscriber growth channel untapped. That is the heart of this conversation with Sam Rathling. Sam is known for helping business owners use LinkedIn in a way that builds visibility, credibility, and real relationships. In this interview, she shares practical ways to stop treating LinkedIn like a static profile and start using it as a living ecosystem that can support your content, authority, and audience growth. For Substack writers, that matters a lot. Most coaches are doing all the things… posting, showing up, creating content… …and still not seeing consistent clients. Not because the content is bad. Because there’s no clear client acquisition system behind it. That’s exactly what the Client Acquisition Audit is designed to fix. In this 30-minute session, we’ll look at your current setup and identify the specific gaps that are keeping you invisible or inconsistent with clients. If your message is there but the clients aren’t… this will show you why. 👉 Book your Client Acquisition Audit here Why LinkedIn Matters for Substack Growth Many people think of LinkedIn as a place for resumes, job updates, or corporate networking. Sam offers a different view. She describes LinkedIn as a professional networking platform where visibility and trust create opportunity. That opportunity might look like clients, collaborations, podcast invitations, referrals, speaking opportunities, or new readers entering your world. For Substack creators, that means LinkedIn can become a steady source of the right people discovering your ideas and choosing to subscribe for more. This is especially important if your Substack is built around thought leadership, coaching, healing, transformation, or conscious entrepreneurship. The people who resonate with your writing are often already on LinkedIn. The missing piece is making it easy for them to find you and follow your work more deeply. 📌Save For Later LinkedIn and Substack Can Create a Flywheel One of the most useful parts of this conversation is when Sam talks about how LinkedIn and Substack can work together rather than compete. She explains that you can create a flywheel between the two platforms. You can repurpose ideas from Substack onto LinkedIn, use LinkedIn to bring people back to your Substack, and let each platform strengthen the other. That means your Substack does not have to do all the heavy lifting alone. LinkedIn can help with discovery.Substack can help with depth.LinkedIn can help people notice you.Substack can help them stay with you. That is a much healthier way to think about audience growth than relying on one platform in isolation. Your LinkedIn Profile Can Help Convert Readers into Subscribers Sam spends a meaningful part of the interview explaining how to make your LinkedIn profile more effective. From a Substack perspective, this is one of the biggest takeaways. She points to several profile areas that can help move people into your ecosystem: Your header image Sam gives examples of people using their LinkedIn banner image to direct attention to a newsletter or Substack. This is simple, but strategic. If someone visits your profile and immediately sees what you write about and where to subscribe, you are creating a clearer path from profile visit to subscriber. Your featured section This may be the most important Substack takeaway in the whole interview. Sam calls the featured section your conversion mechanism. In other words, this is where you intentionally guide someone from LinkedIn into the next step of relationship. She specifically says this is a great place to feature your Substack, your articles, your podcast, or any content hub you want to grow. If you are serious about growing subscribers, this section matters. It gives curious people an easy next click. Your About section Sam also emphasizes the importance of the first lines of your About section. Those opening lines should quickly establish trust and make people want to learn more. Then, further down, you can mention your Substack, your community, and the next step you want readers to take. This is a reminder that subscriber growth does not only come from posting more often. It also comes from making your profile work better when people land on it. Visibility Is What Brings New Readers In Sam’s core equation in the interview is: Visibility + Credibility = Opportunity That applies beautifully to Substack growth. If your writing is excellent but your visibility is low, fewer people will ever discover it. If people see you but your profile and content do not build trust, they may not feel ready to subscribe. LinkedIn helps solve both problems. It gives you a place to become more visible through content, comments, and conversations. It also gives you a place to build credibility through profile clarity, authority signals, useful posts, and consistent engagement. Once both are in place, more opportunities open up, including subscriber growth. Subscriber Growth Does Not Start With Pitching This is one reason the conversation feels so aligned for thoughtful writers and conscious entrepreneurs. Sam is very clear that LinkedIn is not about rushing into direct messages and pushing offers on people. Her approach is based on building relationships, staying top of mind, and treating the platform more like a networking room than a sales machine. That matters for Substack too. Most people do not subscribe because they were pressured. They subscribe because they became interested. They saw your perspective. They noticed your consistency. They trusted your voice. They wanted more. LinkedIn can help create those early trust points before someone ever lands on your Substack. The Best LinkedIn Content for Growing Your Substack While the interview is broader than just subscriber growth, there are several content clues that translate well for Substack writers. Sam talks about the importance of educational content, useful insights, and save-worthy posts. She also explains that LinkedIn’s current environment favors content with relevant keywords and clear value, rather than relying on old tactics like hashtag stuffing. For Substack creators, this opens up a simple strategy: * Turn a strong Substack idea into a LinkedIn post * Share one key lesson, story, or takeaway * Create curiosity around the bigger conversation * Let your profile and featured section do the work of moving people deeper That does not mean every LinkedIn post needs to be a direct subscriber pitch. In fact, the interview suggests the opposite. Lead with value. Build trust. Create relevance. Then make the next step easy. Comments and Connections Can Grow Your Audience Too One of the most practical reminders from Sam is that growth on LinkedIn does not come only from your own posts. She talks about the value of commenting on the posts of people in your target market and being an active participant on the platform. Thoughtful comments can increase visibility, spark conversations, and help more of the right people discover you. This matters for Substack writers who feel overwhelmed by having to constantly publish more. Sometimes subscriber growth starts with engagement, not output. A smart comment on the right post can lead someone back to your profile. And if your profile clearly points to your Substack, that interaction can become a new reader relationship.

What This Video Really Delivers This is not a narrow tutorial on subscriber funnels. It is better understood as a strategic conversation about how to use LinkedIn to build the visibility and trust that make subscriber growth more likely. If you watch this interview expecting a rigid formula, that is not quite what it is. If you watch it wanting to understand how LinkedIn can support your Substack ecosystem, help the right people find you, and create a stronger bridge between professional visibility and long-form audience growth, then yes, this conversation delivers. With love & clarity,Jill Hart | The Coach’s Alchemist PS Most coaches and spiritual entrepreneurs are not stuck because they need more content. They’re stuck because no one ever showed them how to turn their message into a movement… and their visibility into actual clients. The ones quietly building freedom-based businesses right now are following a very different roadmap. Inside You World Order, you’ll discover what most creators never connect:✨ The message that attracts aligned clients✨ The structure that turns content into conversations✨ The visibility system that keeps working long after you hit publish✨ And the community that helps you stop spinning your wheels alone This is where clarity turns into momentum.And momentum turns into income, authority, and freedom. If you’ve been feeling like you’re doing “all the things” but still missing the bigger picture… You probably haven’t seen the system yet. 👀 🔥 Begin your journey → You World Order Skool Community This is a public episode.

  5. Why Community Is Becoming the “Home” of Online Business

    Why Community Is Becoming the “Home” of Online Business

    Most entrepreneurs are exhausted trying to keep up with social media. Post more.Create more reels.Stay visible.Chase engagement. And somehow… even after doing all of that, many still feel disconnected from the people they actually want to help. Inside this week’s Monetize Your Mission Mastermind, Mona Weathers from Next Level Growth Hub shared a powerful perspective: Community changes everything. Not just because it gives people a place to gather.But because it shortens the path to trust. Community Creates Faster Trust One of the biggest takeaways from the conversation was this: Conversations build trust faster than content alone. A community gives people a chance to: * See your consistency * Watch how you help others * Engage in conversations * Feel connected before they ever buy Mona shared how she sold high ticket offers with fewer than 100 members because the foundation was built around relationships, not vanity metrics. That’s a powerful reminder that you do not need a massive audience to monetize your message. You need the right people and a clear path. Why Systems Matter More Than Hustle Mona also talked about how systems changed her life and business. As a mom, homesteader, and entrepreneur, she realized she could not keep growing through constant hustle. She needed systems that protected her energy and created sustainability. That led her to focus on three core business pillars: * Traffic * Community * Income Without systems around those three things, most businesses stay stuck in inconsistency. Your Community Needs Clear Foundations One of the strongest parts of the conversation centered around foundations. Your community cannot just be “a place online.” People need clarity: * Who is this for? * What transformation happens here? * What should they do next? * What conversations are we having? Mona explained that even your About page should function like a business card. People should instantly understand what your community is about and whether it is for them.

  6. How Smarter Systems Can Help Skool Community Owners Grow With More Ease

    May 7

    How Smarter Systems Can Help Skool Community Owners Grow With More Ease

    Running a community can be deeply rewarding, and it can also become surprisingly messy. What starts as a meaningful space for transformation can slowly turn into a long list of manual tasks. Welcome posts need tagging. Member follow-up slips through the cracks. Testimonials live in screenshots. Important conversations disappear in the feed. Retention becomes reactive instead of intentional. That is why this conversation with Joe DiFilippo matters. Joe is the creator of Skooly, a tool built specifically for Skool owners and users. In this interview, he walks through a growing ecosystem of features designed to help community builders save time, improve member experience, and create better systems around engagement, organization, and retention. A Tool Built From Real Community Problems One of the strongest parts of this conversation is that Skooly did not begin as a generic software idea. Joe describes how he spent time inside Skool, pivoted through different models, and eventually landed on what he most wanted to do: build software that solves real problems for community owners. His focus is practical. He wants to reduce friction, automate repetitive tasks, and help owners respond quickly to what members actually need. That orientation matters. Too many tools ask business owners to reshape themselves around the software. This conversation points in the other direction. The goal is to create support around the way real communities work. The Bigger Opportunity for Coaches and Community Builders For conscious coaches, spiritual entrepreneurs, and transformational leaders, community is not just a content container. It is a trust ecosystem. It is where people ask for help.It is where they witness each other’s growth.It is where belonging becomes visible. And because of that, the systems behind a community matter more than most people think. A strong community does not only need inspiring content. It also needs structure that helps members feel seen, helps leaders stay responsive, and makes next steps clear. That is where many of the Skooly features Joe demonstrates become especially useful. 📌Save For Later Tagging and Segmentation That Make Welcome Posts Easier One simple but powerful feature covered in the episode is the ability to create member lists and tag groups of people more efficiently. Joe shows how community owners can load members, group them by criteria like level, tier, course access, or recency, and then use those lists inside posts and comments. This makes it easier to welcome new members, reach a specific cohort, or acknowledge a segment without manually tagging one person at a time. He also explains that “new members” can be customized by date range, which makes this even more practical for recurring welcome rituals. For coaches, this is more than convenience. This is about creating visible belonging. A warm, well-timed welcome can help a new member feel recognized right away. And when that recognition becomes easier to deliver, consistency gets easier too. DM Sequences That Support Relationship-Building Another standout part of the conversation is the DM automation system. Joe walks through Skooly’s sequence builder, showing how community owners can trigger messages when a new member joins, requests access, starts canceling, has a payment decline, levels up, upgrades, or downgrades. He also explains that messages can go either to the member or to the owner as an internal alert, depending on the use case. This opens up important possibilities. A welcome sequence can help new members take the first right action.A follow-up can deepen a conversation after someone responds.An alert can help an owner personally step in during a retention moment. For mission-led businesses, that blend of automation and humanity is the sweet spot. The goal is not robotic communication. The goal is making sure important touchpoints do not get missed. Feeling stuck between having a powerful message and not knowing how to consistently market it in a way that feels aligned? Subscribe to the Monetize Your Mission Podcast for grounded, actionable conversations that help you grow your audience, attract aligned clients, and build a business that supports your mission. Testimonials and Pages That Strengthen Authority One especially relevant section for visible coaches and experts is the way Joe describes testimonial capture and page building. He explains that users can pull testimonials directly from posts or comments, build customizable testimonial pages, invite members to submit through a form, and even use AI prompts to help members write stronger testimonials. He also shares that Schoolie now includes a drag-and-drop page builder for landing pages and related assets, with options for videos, GIFs, CTAs, and embedded code. This matters because authority is often trapped inside conversations. A client says something powerful in a comment.A member shares a breakthrough in a post.A result is visible but not yet organized. When you can turn those moments into social proof more easily, your visibility gets stronger. Your message gets clearer. Your next aligned client has more evidence that your work creates real change. Insights That Help You Understand Community Health Joe also walks through the analytics side of Skooly, including community health indicators, retention-risk tracking, post-performance insights, best-time-to-post heat maps, course progress views, and member segmentation. He describes how community owners can identify who is at higher risk, explore engagement patterns, and filter members by activity such as recent posting. This is where growth becomes more intentional. Instead of guessing who needs support, you can look.Instead of posting randomly, you can learn from patterns.Instead of treating all members the same, you can segment more wisely. For coaches who care about client results and not just audience size, that kind of visibility can be incredibly valuable. The Deeper Lesson Beneath the Software What stood out most in this interview is not any single feature. It is the philosophy underneath the tool. Joe keeps returning to the same idea in different forms: community owners need help solving real operational problems. They need systems that support engagement, retention, focus, and follow-through. They need tools that reduce noise and make space for better service. That is a lesson well beyond software. As a coach or spiritual entrepreneur, growth often does not come from doing more. It comes from building cleaner pathways around what already works. Cleaner onboarding.Cleaner communication.Cleaner visibility.Cleaner retention.Cleaner proof. When the structure becomes stronger, the mission can move farther. Not Quite GHL (Yet) But Close… If you lead a community, this episode offers a useful reminder: the backend experience shapes the front-end transformation. Members feel it when things are organized.They feel it when they are welcomed well.They feel it when follow-up is timely.They feel it when the community experience is coherent. And leaders feel it too. Better systems create more breathing room.More breathing room creates more presence.More presence creates better leadership. That is the real opportunity here. Not just more automation.More intention at scale. If this conversation sparks something for you, start with one question: Which part of your client or community journey feels more manual than it needs to be right now? That answer may point directly to your next growth edge.

  7. Streaming TV for Coaches, Creators, and Spiritual Entrepreneurs

    May 1

    Streaming TV for Coaches, Creators, and Spiritual Entrepreneurs

    Most coaches and creators think streaming TV is either too expensive, too complex, or only available to people with massive audiences. Want aligned clients? Get daily momentum and proven visibility strategies inside. This conversation with Karin Crawford opens up a much more practical reality. Streaming TV can become a smart next step for coaches, authors, educators, podcasters, and spiritual entrepreneurs who already have content and want to turn it into more visibility, more authority, and more intentional monetization. The bigger takeaway is not just about getting on TV. It is about understanding how to make better decisions with the content you already have. Why This Conversation Matters A lot of conscious business owners are already doing the hard part. They are creating videos.They are teaching.They are showing up on YouTube, Substack, podcasts, livestreams, and interviews. What is often missing is a clear strategy for distribution. Karin brings a grounded lens to that problem. She helps people understand the streaming TV landscape, vet the right opportunities, and avoid wasting time or money on options that look impressive but do not actually move the business forward. That matters because more visibility is only useful when it leads to aligned action. What Streaming TV Actually Means One of the most helpful parts of this conversation is that Karin breaks down the ecosystem in plain language. Streaming TV is not just one thing. It can include: * placing your content inside an existing network * creating your own channel inside a larger ecosystem * building a subscription-based content experience * using livestreams and pay-per-view events * creating ad-supported content with revenue share * collaborating with aligned creators to share audiences That distinction is important. Too many people hear phrases like Roku, Hulu, or streaming TV and assume the opportunity is out of reach. Karin explains that there are more accessible entry points than most people realize, especially for experts and educators with strong niche content. The Real Question Is Not “Can You Get on TV?” The better question is this: What is the right streaming path for your content, audience, budget, and business model? That is where this conversation becomes especially useful for coaches and spiritual entrepreneurs. Not every platform is right for every creator.Not every piece of content belongs in the same environment.Not every visibility opportunity is worth paying for. Karin talks about several factors that shape success, including: * the kind of content you create * how engaged your current audience is * what budget you are working with * how consistently you can keep producing * whether your content is better suited for placement, a series, or its own channel That kind of discernment saves money, saves time, and helps creators move forward with more confidence. Why Conversions Matter More Than Vanity Metrics This may have been the strongest business insight in the episode. At one point, Karin explains that the best analytics are not always episode-level platform stats. The deeper metric is conversion. Are people taking the next step?Are they joining your list?Are they clicking your offer?Are they moving into your world? That is a crucial reminder for anyone building a mission-based business. Traffic without resonance does not create momentum.Views without action do not create income.Exposure without alignment does not build trust. For conscious coaches especially, that is the difference between creating content for attention and creating content for transformation. Test Before You Pay Jill adds an important layer to the conversation here. Before paying for distribution, sponsorship placement, or streaming expansion, it makes sense to test your ideas where you already have traction. That could mean: * posting on YouTube * publishing on Substack * observing which topics get stronger engagement * watching which calls to action actually convert * identifying the content that already resonates Then, instead of guessing, you lead with the videos that are already performing. That is such a grounded strategy. It takes the pressure out of trying to be everywhere at once and replaces it with a staircase approach. Start with what works. Then expand from evidence. Streaming TV as a Repurposing Strategy Another strong thread in this episode is the idea that streaming TV is not necessarily a replacement for YouTube. It can be an add-on. That is especially relevant for creators who already have a body of work sitting on existing platforms. Instead of always chasing new content, there may be an opportunity to: * repurpose older high-performing videos * repackage evergreen teachings * organize content into a more intentional series * extend the life of videos that still solve real problems For coaches and transformational educators, that can be powerful. Your best message should not disappear just because it was published two years ago. Multiple Monetization Paths Karin also walks through different ways content creators can think about monetization in the streaming TV space. That includes: * driving viewers into your offer ecosystem * creating a subscription-based channel * using ad-supported models * earning revenue share in some cases * inviting sponsors into your content * collaborating with other aligned experts who serve the same audience The sponsorship piece is especially interesting because it opens up a different mindset. When you provide access to a specific audience, that attention has value.When your content creates trust, that trust has value.When your platform gathers aligned people, that ecosystem has value. Mission-based income does not have to come from one source. A More Grounded Way to Think About Visibility What I appreciate most about this conversation is that it does not treat visibility like a vanity game. It treats visibility as infrastructure. That means asking: * Where does my audience already pay attention? * What kind of content makes them move? * What platform supports my long-term goals? * What will strengthen authority without scattering my energy? * What gives my best work a longer life? That is a much more mature question than simply asking how to get more views. Bringing It All Together… For coaches, health practitioners, transformational leaders, and spiritual entrepreneurs, this episode offers a refreshing reminder: The next growth move is not always to create more.Sometimes it is to place, package, and position what already works more strategically. Streaming TV may not be the first step for everyone.But for the right business, it can be a meaningful next layer of reach, authority, and monetization. And even if you are not ready for that step yet, the bigger lesson still applies. Test your message.Track conversions.Choose platforms with intention.Build visibility that supports aligned clients and real transformation. I Believe In You, PS You don’t need to start from scratch or hustle harder. You just need the roadmap — and the right mentors — to alchemize your message into a thriving, freedom-based business.

  8. Why Your Content Is Not Converting and How Better Hooks Change Everything

    Apr 24

    Why Your Content Is Not Converting and How Better Hooks Change Everything

    You’re showing up. You’re creating content. You’re doing your best to stay visible. But if people are seeing your posts and still not clicking, replying, or moving toward your offer, this session will help you understand why. The issue may not be that you need more visibility. It may be that your message is not landing clearly enough for the right person to recognize themselves in it. If you want the right people to feel like you’re speaking directly to them, this session is for you. More Visibility Isn’t The Answer If… In this session, I break down how to create hooks that make the right person feel like I’m speaking directly to them. I share why visibility alone is not enough, how messaging changes everything, and what makes someone actually stop, pay attention, and want to know more. 📌Save For Later What I Cover in This Session I walk through a simple framework for stronger hooks: identifying who you’re speaking to, naming the burning problem, and opening a loop that creates curiosity. This is not about writing something clever for the sake of it. It is about helping the right person feel seen and guiding them naturally toward the next step. Inside the session, I also share live examples showing how small shifts in wording can completely change how a message lands. We explore how different platforms need different kinds of hooks, why Pinterest needs stronger keyword alignment, and why email hooks often work better when they sound more personal and human. Why This Matters More Than Ever I also talk about how I use ChatGPT as a support tool without letting it replace my voice. Your stories, your perspective, and your lived experience are still what make your content connect. AI can help you move faster, but real connection still comes from sounding like yourself. If you’ve been creating content consistently but it is not turning into clicks, replies, or clients, this training will help you see where the disconnect might be and how to start fixing it in a simple, practical way. If You Do Not Have a Bridge Offer Yet If this session helps you realize that your content needs a clearer next step, and you do not have a bridge offer yet, get the Mini Offer Creation Engine. It will help you create a simple offer that bridges the gap between your free content and your paid work, so your hooks lead somewhere meaningful.

  9. New Substack Features That Help Coaches Save Time, Stay Consistent, and Grow

    Apr 17

    New Substack Features That Help Coaches Save Time, Stay Consistent, and Grow

    If you’re a coach, healer, creative, or spiritual entrepreneur trying to build a business with content, the challenge usually is not a lack of ideas. It’s the lack of a simple system. That is why this conversation matters. In this Monetize Your Mission Mastermind, we walk through several of Substack’s newer features and shows how they can help you create a publication that feels easier to manage, easier to monetize, and more supportive of long-term growth. This is not about chasing every shiny new tool. It is about using the right features to make your content more sustainable, more visible, and more aligned with the way you actually work. Why These New Substack Features Matter For most coaches, the goal is not just to publish more. The goal is to create a content ecosystem that leads somewhere. That means: * more consistency * better reader experience * more audience trust * more conversations * more aligned subscribers and clients The core message throughout this session is simple. When your Substack is set up well from the beginning, everything else becomes easier. Your posting gets faster.Your calls to action get clearer.Your content becomes more shareable.Your audience journey makes more sense. Schedule Notes in Advance One of the most practical features discussed is note scheduling. This gives you the ability to batch your visibility instead of having to remember to post every day in real time. I show how to create a note, schedule it for later, and then return to drafts to find and edit it if needed. That alone can help you stay visible without constantly interrupting your workday. For busy coaches, this matters. Consistency creates momentum, and momentum creates discoverability. I also remind viewers that scheduled notes still need attention after they go live. If someone comments, the relationship part begins there. Visibility without interaction leaves growth on the table. Use Templates to Save Time This was one of the most exciting parts of the conversation. Templates inside Substack are not only for whole-post structures. They can also be used for smaller repeated blocks, which makes them incredibly useful for: * signatures * calls to action * branded visuals * recurring reminders * promotional snippets This small feature can remove a surprising amount of friction from publishing. Instead of hunting through folders for the same image every time or rewriting the same CTA over and over, you can insert what you need in a few clicks. That is the kind of improvement that helps content become sustainable. here’s an example: Feeling stuck between having a powerful message and not knowing how to consistently market it in a way that feels aligned? Subscribe to the Monetize Your Mission Podcast for grounded, actionable conversations that help you grow your audience, attract aligned clients, and build a business that supports your mission. Make Your Posts Easier to Read Substack may be a writing-focused platform, but readers still skim. That is an important point I return to later in the session. The newer visual formatting tools like drop caps, call-out blocks, pull quotes, centered text, and stronger section design can make your content feel more polished and easier to move through. This matters because readability affects retention. A well-structured post creates more chances for your reader to keep going, pause on a key insight, or click into your next step. For coaches and transformational leaders, this is especially useful because your content often includes teaching, story, invitation, and reflection all in one piece. Visual flow helps carry that message. 📌Save For Later Upgrade Your Subscribe Banners Next, we walked through Substack’s custom subscribe banner options and why they matter for monetization. This feature allows you to do more than place a generic subscribe box on the page. You can now better align your banner with your brand and use it strategically based on where the reader is in the journey. For example: * a non-subscriber can be invited to join for free * a free subscriber can be invited to upgrade to paid * a paid subscriber can be shown the value of founding membership * a founding member can be encouraged to share This is powerful because it turns your subscribe experience into part of your client journey. It also reinforces an important marketing truth. People need to understand what they are being invited into and why it matters. Go Live or Record from Desktop One of the biggest updates we cover is the ability to go live or record from desktop. For anyone who has tried doing everything from a phone, this is a major shift. Desktop access makes it easier to: * present more clearly * manage guests * share your screen * create longer-form teaching content * record podcast-style conversations * repurpose content later I explained how a live or recorded session can become much more than a single piece of content. It can become: * a video post on Substack * a podcast episode * a transcript-based article * clips and short-form content * YouTube content * social content across other platforms That is where real leverage begins. One conversation can turn into an entire content set. Repurpose What You Already Have Another useful takeaway is that content does not always have to start from scratch. I encourage you to re-use what you have already created, especially video content. Existing YouTube videos, Substack lives, and recorded teaching sessions can all become source material for new posts, clips, notes, or traffic pathways. This is especially relevant for coaches who are trying to build visibility without burning out. A strong content strategy is not about doing more. It is about getting more life out of what you already made. Visibility Leads to Conversations Near the end of the session, it all gets tied back to the deeper purpose. The point of using these features is not just aesthetics or productivity. The point is visibility that leads to relationship. That can happen through: * note interactions * restacks * chats * comments * live conversations * subscriber growth * community invitations And those conversations can eventually lead to: * clients * paid subscribers * community members * collaborations * referrals This is an important mindset shift. Content is not separate from connection. Used well, content becomes the bridge. The Bigger Lesson The strongest message in this mastermind is not actually about features. It is about foundation. If your Substack is not set up with the right structure, call to action, and overall direction, then even the best new tools will feel scattered. But when the foundation is clear, these features become force multipliers. Posting gets easier.Repurposing gets smarter.Branding gets stronger.Monetization gets cleaner.Growth feels more sustainable. Looking For More? If you’ve been looking for a way to make your content system feel more grounded, more strategic, and less chaotic, this conversation is a strong place to begin. Substack is continuing to evolve. The real opportunity is not just keeping up with new tools.

  10. I Was Called the “Substack Queen” on This Podcast… Here’s What I Actually Teach

    Apr 15

    I Was Called the “Substack Queen” on This Podcast… Here’s What I Actually Teach

    Recently, I had the opportunity to be featured on a podcast where we talked about building a sustainable business from home and using Substack as the foundation. The conversation was simple. Most entrepreneurs are working way too hard for very inconsistent results. And it usually comes down to one thing. There’s no system. What We Talked About on the Podcast The host asked about my daily routine, my business, and how I help coaches and spiritual entrepreneurs get visible. But what stood out most was this: Substack is not just a newsletter platform. It’s a full business engine. Inside the conversation, we broke down how it allows you to: * Create written, audio, and video content in one place * Build an email list automatically * Monetize without complicated funnels That combination is rare. And it’s why I’ve chosen to focus on it so heavily. Why Most Entrepreneurs Feel Scattered One of the biggest themes that came up in the interview was how overwhelmed people feel trying to be everywhere. Posting on multiple platforms. Trying to keep up with algorithms. Creating different types of content for different spaces. That approach creates noise, not momentum. What actually works is having one central hub. For me, that’s Substack. The Moment Everything Changed for Me For a long time, Substack wasn’t producing results. About two years in, there were only around 40 subscribers. At that point, a decision had to be made. Figure it out or walk away. That’s when everything shifted. Instead of treating it like “just another platform,” it became the system. Content hub.Email list.Monetization. All in one place. That’s when things started working. 📌Save For Later What I Shared About Visibility Visibility starts with clarity. That was one of the biggest takeaways from the conversation. When your message is clear, people know what to associate you with. That’s how being called the “Substack Queen” even happened. It wasn’t branding. It was repetition. * Same message. * Same focus. * Everywhere. Subscribe to get the free Getting Started Guide, and when you’re ready to go deeper, step into the full Substack Setup Intensive as a paid subscriber. The Part Entrepreneurs Usually Skip 🔥Offers. This came up in the interview too, and it’s something a lot of people avoid. If you’re not making offers, you’re not in business. That doesn’t mean being pushy. It means knowing: * what problem you solve * where someone should start * what the next step is When that’s clear, offers feel natural. You don’t need to start from scratch or hustle harder. You just need the roadmap — and the right mentors — to alchemize your message into a thriving, freedom-based business. That’s exactly what we do inside The Coach’s Alchemist Academy — where clarity meets community, and transformation becomes your new normal. 🔥 Begin your journey → You World Order Skool Community The Rule That Simplifies Everything Toward the end of the conversation, I shared something that guides how I run my business. The rule of ones. One system.One focus.One primary method. for ONE YEAR! Trying to do everything slows you down. Focusing builds momentum. What This Means for You If things feel scattered right now, it’s not because you’re doing something wrong. It’s because there’s no central system holding everything together. That’s the shift. Not more content. Not more platforms. A better structure. Want to Build This for Yourself? This is exactly what I help people do. Inside the community, we: * Set up your Substack the right way * Build your client acquisition system * Turn your content into something that actually brings in clients You don’t need more noise. You need a system that works. 👉 Join the community - https://skool.com/you-world-order👉 Or book a Client Acquisition Audit and we’ll map it out together I Believe In You, Connect with Gale Bates: Entrepreneur | Goal Strategist | Mentor Watch my YouTube Series: Entrepreneurs Who Work from Home This is a public episode.
