Writers want to write. They don’t want to market.

But if you want to get paid to write these days, you have to market and sell too.

The grand promise of Substack was that writers could focus on the writing while the platform found you an audience and helped you make money.

Both of them lied.

Sure, some writers do make money on these platforms, but as we’ve already debunked, those writers are often doing the bulk of that labor themselves.

STILL. There are some legitimate ways Substack, Medium and even social media platforms bolster your audience building and monetization.

And they are replaceable when you know what to replace.

Introducing The 3×3×3 Growth System.

A three part system to guide you in becoming your own best marketer whether you’re ditching Substack or just taking control of your publication’s growth.
