Very inspired by this and the reminder that consistency is key for any content to take root. But HOW do you have a full time job AND write for two hours a day? (And workout and have friends and cook and clean and have a hobby, spend time with family, etc.) Asking as a twenty something who LOVES writing but feels already swamped getting two to three posts out per week amidst all of life’s commitments 😩
You know, as my audience keeps growing, I keep becoming more and more conscious of what I'm putting out there and keep debating about whether it's good enough or not. I want a bigger audience of course but it's so scary already- in a way.
This was truly an insightful post, cheers! I’m actually really curious what sort of content calendars people who post to both, Substack and Medium, have? Do you post the same stuff (if the audience is similar on those two platforms)?
Really excited to dive into her work. I'm sort of at the same stage as it seems she began, so it's a breath of fresh air to have such a model to follow.
I love Eve! I actually started following her around the same time you did and she really explodes right before our eyes. Coincidentally, I also follow a marketing newsletter, Why We Buy, and one day, I see she joined their team too. And I love that newsletter! So I was like wow, this girl isn’t joking :) I think she’s only working part time now, though. Which is still amazing, of course.
Wow...my main takeaways from this are consistency and patience
But also discipline and the ability to manage your time, to devote it both to what you have to do(her actual job) and what you want to do(her writing career).
Amazing tips. Will take note and I did not know Medium is capable of this.

Eve is writing nonfiction, how about someone writing fiction?
Just keep writing, my friend. Your audience will come soon enough. Have a good day Colin!
🔥 Writing (and stories like this) can provide hope for so many — particularly those facing retirement without the nest egg 👊🏻
Awesome message. It’s loud and clear : stay consistent.
There’s no secret sauce, just good old hard work and dedication.

"Tried everything " in three years. Hahaha! Try doing that for 30 years.
