A lot of people have been asking me about Substack lately because I’ve been sharing my successes on my social media platforms.
How do you actually grow?
Can you really make money writing?
Do you need a huge audience before you start?
So I decided to sit down and share everything I’ve learned after my first nine months on the platform.
Today, my Substack brings in $1,120 per month in recurring revenue with 155 paid subscribers—and one of the most surprising parts of the journey is that almost 70% of my subscribers discovered me through Substack itself.
If you’d rather watch or listen while you’re driving, walking, or doing chores, I’ve also recorded a YouTube video where I walk through the entire journey.
👇 Watch the full video below.
If you enjoy the video and want the complete breakdown, I also wrote a much more detailed article. Inside, I share:
how I priced my subscriptions
why I started charging from day one
my strategy that brings in most of my new subscribers
how much time I actually spend on Substack every week
my monthly revenue growth
screenshots of my analytics
what I’d do differently if I were starting today
and why I think Substack is one of the most approachable online income streams you can build.

Whether you’re thinking about starting a newsletter, looking for another stream of online income, or you’re simply curious about how Substack works, I hope my experience helps you skip some of the trial and error.
Maybe this won’t become your main business, but it might become your next income stream.
Perfect for you if you like to write!
💜
