Substack is the best new tool for Speakers (not just writers!)

One Substack writer, who began as an unknown just like you, now earns $1million a month (much to everyone's surprise!) on Substack.

Although this is certainly not the norm for everyone, this is the reality for one person who decided to get on this platform and talk about what they believe in.

There are a lot of others that have left their jobs to join sub stack simply because they started a conversation about something they were passionate about. The key? Authenticity.

I Own a speaker bureau.

If one of my speakers has a sub stack with a lot of subscribers, you can bet they're getting book offers and invitation invitations to speak at corporations.

These numbers matter, even if you don't start your sub stack for anyone else but you. The reason the numbers matter is because you're saying something that people love.

Whether it's about shame, blame, ADHD, mental health, or fixing cars, if you have thousands of subscribers it's because whatever you're saying, has resonated with a sub group of people on sub stack.

You're not gonna be for everyone, but that's OK, it's possible to get rich in a niche. Just be you and provide value.

Sub stack is one of the frontiers of growth that hasn't yet hit its peak. And this is good news if you're just starting out.

Regardless of whether you want to make a lot of money or not, if you're a writer or a speaker, this is a great place to not only find your voice, but say what's on your mind. Like most social media the most authentic people here win!

So let’s talk about how:

For the past 15+ years, I've spent nearly every week either coaching, authors and speakers, editing, or writing or publishing their books, designing covers and planning out marketing campaigns. I have spent many days auditioning speakers for TED talks and helping them craft their talk.

I have one specific goal: to equip world changers.

Disclaimer: I am not the author earning $1 m a month on Substack, because I'm too busy teaching other people how to grow their sub stacks.

I spend most of my time helping other authors understand how publishing works and crafting books that get them speaking engagements.

I don't spend any amount of time on my own sub stack because that's not my mission.

Over the past year I have created several Sub stack accounts for authors and speakers, because Substack is a platform still in growth mode! And that's good news.

Here are three things you can do to get more subscribers if that's your goal.

#1. use the notes feature not just this article feature

#2. Post on one topic and be authentic.

#3. Comment, like, subscribe, follow and spend more time doing this than you spend posting on your own account and you will grow your subscriber base.

Don't be an introvert on sub stack. Be an extrovert and welcome collaboration!

Lastly,

Once you've got more than a couple hundred subscribers, start collaborating, actively with other others by going live on video sharing other peoples pages, and inviting people to collaborate with you on article articles or podcasts.

The more you collaborate the better.

Want to offer a free course? Do it authentically and include other people that you admire or follow. Their followers will notice!

The secret to grow growth on sub stack is to stay in your lane so to speak. If you're in healthcare post about healthcare, but don't forget to also talk about your own life as if you're a human.

And then let's not forget to acknowledge everyone else whether they have one follower or 100,000!

The greatest most exponential growth comes from celebrating others.

to your success,
