Great explanation of the many options available to solopreneur creators once they have some great quality content behind them.

Thank you, Graeme and you bring up a great point: it takes time to build a funnel and you need to focus on quality content first.

I'll start publishing in September, but I'll make sure to save this for future reference! I always end up learning something new when I'm reading your newsletter and thinking, "Aah, that's how it's done!" Thank you for being transparent with us!

Brilliant framework, I just started my Substack but as soon as I have enough content I will revisit this post, saving it.

Gracias Veronica.

That's great, Ramon and good luck with your Substack!

I'm going to host a webinar in August about Substack strategy and monetization. It's for paid subscribers but I also have free resources such as this article about my own strategy:

Thank you for sharing. This is something Iโ€™m thinking through hard at the moment. I turned some of my posts into an ebook recently after reading your book - but Iโ€™ve only sold one copy ๐Ÿ˜ฑ and Iโ€™m not sure how I could do a course based on the niche I write forโ€ฆ So, I love all the ideas - but need to think about how to translate them into my Substack world!

Hi Holly!

I'm glad this gave you some points to think about.

I did a course on Substack by sending a weekly email to my paid subscribers on the topic of Personal Brand.

I would say don't overcomplicate it and get started.

Good luck!

Super valuable as always!

I am working on consolidating top 100 lessons from consuming over 500 podcast episodes for the newsletter and publishing that as an ebook on Gumroad.

Secondly, rolling out a cohort based monthly call for paid members. Focus will be to overcome the lack of implementation of ideas I discuss in my newsletter. Your post provided additional ideas as well. Thank you as always Veronica

Those are briliant ideas and very aligned with your podcast, which is fantastic as you are building an ecosystem.

Good luck and I'm glad I gave you some food for thought ;)

Thank you for adding that, Hamza, and I couldn't agree more.

In my case, I have books, digital products, and I'm growing a library of content.

What type of income streams do you have?
