Season 3, episode 7 is here!
In this solo episode, I talk about one of the biggest mistakes writers make on Substack - losing readers before they’ve even hit publish.
I break down the small, overlooked details that make all the difference when someone lands on your publication for the first time, and how a few simple changes can quietly convert visitors into loyal subscribers.
If you’ve been writing great posts but not seeing much growth, this one’s for you.
What I covered:
Why most readers never discover your archive and where they actually find you instead
How to make your tagline instantly clear, confident, and reader-focused
The simple tweaks that turn your About page into a conversation instead of a résumé
How to organise your homepage so new readers know exactly where to start
Why clarity and connection will always beat cleverness and complexity
The small design and setup decisions that do your audience-building for you every day
How to fix all of this in a single afternoon using the Substack Quickfire Launch Kit
