Full disclosure: I bookmarked this so I could read it later, but I’m pretty sure, without even reading it, that I probably broke all these rules. Thankfully, for whatever it’s worth, at least here on Substack, I don’t feel punished for it. I look forward to reading this later.

Thanks Sarah! It’s taken me over a year of hanging out here, but I finally feel like I understand my Substack’s core DNA. I love how you position this time as a strength, not a failure. I’ve updated my About page, and now I can work through your checklist to launch. Wheeee! 🤸🤸🤸

Thank you - when will the course in Nov. be? I am just starting to go through your posts and trying to find a strategy for what I want my Substack to be. Still in the lost/overwhelm stage. I know I will need to relaunch at some point. I also think I will need to hire a VA to. help with the logistics of my Substack, so need to look for that.

Hello. I am new here kind of. Of been kicking things around on medium and then came over here. I really dont have any traction on anyhting. Maybe because my writing just sucks. But I kind of relaunched everything. I am in a major life reboot and just started sharing what I am learning. Because of you (my first paid subscription) I did my first video. I also participated in your notes. No one liked it or restacked it but I responded to others and it started to give me a little push. I just wanted to let you know...thank you. I am planning on how to go 1-1 so i can hone these skills. Not sure how yet. Sub stack is a little hard to get around on for me. But you are teaching me so much. You rock!!!!

Sarah, you are the best! I am just rethinking my Substack, so this is incredibly helpful!

I've already changed my focus from interactive mini mystery games to focusing on pet detective/ pet rescue stories. But I've been planning to add an additional aspect that will be for PAID subscribers. It is based on my God-given vision to build a Disneyworld-like attraction for animal lovers--a companion animal museum, pet memorial center, and retreat center. It will cost millions. The exciting / scary part is that I don't even have the capital or the experience to do this, but I DO have the faith! Sarah I'm so glad that you mentioned the DNA training in November. I'll wait to launch this until after that class!

I'm so confused as to what I'm supposed to name my substack. I've changed it a couple times but it just doesn't seem right. Any advice? I mean I know that other things matter too but this is just one thing I'm really confused about.
