New: On-demand stream of this workshop now available!
***
You can now buy the on-demand version of my (super fun 💪) 2-hour workshop where I'll walk you step-by-step through setting up your very first Substack newsletter online. 🙀 (Yup, I’m lookin’ at you if you’ve been intimidated / procrastinating / laboring / overthinking all the things.)
You'll be able to see every step I take on the screen, and do it with me live from home. By the end of this ultra-practical workshop, you’ll have your very own brilliant Substack newsletter set up and—whew!—actually published. 💥
No. More. Over. Thinking. It.
We also talk newsletter strategy, content, frequency & everything paid newsletters. Come hang out with me and let's make you a brand-new newsletter for 2025!
- Topics: Setting up your Substack newsletter step-by-step (don’t worry, even if you’re not techy, this is delightful—and it’s 💯 free to use), deciding on a free vs paid strategy, walking through best practices (offer a free trial?! auto paywall posts?!), understanding how the Substack ecosystem works, learning all of the fun features you can use (including some of the sanity-saving ones), setting up your design, categories, sections, menus, emails, payments, about pages, and more; understanding notes/chat/video/audio capabilities, and—drum roll—working out what (the hell) you’re going to write, how often you’re going to write (the hell out of) it, who (the hell) is going to pay for it, and getting the confidence you need to go, go, go (hopefully not to hell). By the end of this workshop, you’ll have your very own Substack newsletter…live. AND I WILL MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT CHICKEN OUT. (I’m the best insurance for your courage. ⚡️)
- Why with me? I’ve been writing a much-loved commercial newsletter since 2009 and have earned multiple 7 figures exclusively from this awesome channel…which is why you rarely see me on social media. 🤭 This is my 15th year as a professional newsletterist! I also give excellent flyfishing tips.

P.S. Flyfishing tips? Did I really say that?
ChatGPT gave you the summary.
I give you the rest. Live experiments in remote work, publishing, and AI, from someone who’s been doing this for 17 years. (Still not a newsletter about fish.)

I run business experiments in remote work, internet publishing, newsletter growth, and using AI to make your projects pay so well your Stripe notifications start sounding like a slot machine at a Reno bowling alley. This is not a newsletter about fish.
Free. Daily or weekly, you pick.
