    Why Your Niche Isn’t The Problem (The Genius-Idiot Rollercoaster)


    If you're struggling, thinking that your niche is too saturated or that competition is killing your client opportunities, this episode is for you. The problem isn’t anything your’e telling yourself. I walkthrough the “Genius-Idiot Rollercoaster” framework that so many of us entrepreneurs and creators seem to be chained to, riding on a never-ending loop. It's a cycle of self-doubt and overconfidence that most writers, freelancers, and business owners face when trying to grow their online presence and land clients. I break down why this game of emotional pingpong is inevitable—and share why quitting isn’t the answer, how to endure the up and down nature of business, and what soft skill you as a creator need to master. Whether you're building a ghostwriter, entrepreneur, or CEO, this insight will help you stay focused on what matters and remain level-headed through the highs and lows.

    👻 Become a Premium Ghostwriter: https://premiumghostwritingblueprint.com/?el=6StepChecklistPD&htrafficsource=podcast_organic


    6 Step Checklist To Build A $100,000+ Paid Newsletter On Substack


    In this episode, I share my proven 6-step framework for building a $100,000+ paid newsletter on Substack, the same approach I used to grow Category Pirates and Write With AI into 6-figure newsletters. This walkthrough covers key strategies like harnessing a traffic engine, making your newsletter topics tangible, and leveraging Substack's unique free-to-paid model to maximize reader engagement and conversions. And at the end, I confront the most common questions and faulty beliefs I hear about starting a paid newsletters. If you're a writer, business owner, or complete beginner aiming to generate substantial recurring revenue and build a long-term audience, this checklist will help you structure, scale, and monetize your newsletter effectively on Substack and beyond.

    (00:00) Step 1: Pick a topic attached to a traffic engine
    (01:34) Step 2: Make your newsletter tangible.
    (06:29) Step 3: The “One Free, One Paid” Strategy
    (09:10) Step 4: Send paid snippets to your entire free list.
    (11:12) Step 5: Put the paywall preview at a cliffhanger.
    (12:27) Step 6: Leverage Substack notes.
    (13:35) Q: How long should a newsletter be? Do you start charging immediately? Does anyone use email anymore?
    (15:07) Q: Subscribers, Open Rate, and CTR - how do you improve these metrics?
    (16:33) Q: How do you continuously provide high-value content to maintain a long-term audience?
    (18:12) Q: What if I’m too young/old and have no prior experience?
