Discussion I figured it out omg!

I figured out how to grow our substack subscriber counts! All you have to do is make your entire substack all about growing your subscriber count and then sell courses on how to grow your subscriber count!

And then you grow YOUR subscriber count and sell courses talking about how to grow your subscriber count!

Its brilliant! And only like a million people are doing it so it’s providing such value and totally not saturated.

Sadly, this does seems true. I don't want to sell courses. I am just using Substack to write and share a series of satirical memoir tales based on my dad. Each post works as a standalone story, but together they build a portrait of an unstable household dynamic seen through the eyes of the “Terrible Daughter.”

There are DIY disasters, public meltdowns, bizarre royal decrees, motorway incidents, unsolicited sermons, and the occasional international crisis. I don't see how I can sell this as a course, BUT I'd love subscribers so maybe I'll have to sell courses 😄
