I've written a recent post on Substack around "How to Build a Six-Figure Newsletter on Substack in 2025." I share how I went from Zero to 3,400+ subscribers and a $5K+ per month operation in less than 6 months...all while posting LESS content and making MORE revenue.

"Your account has been suspended."
That's the message I woke up to last year. Three years of content creation, 100K+ followers, all gone in an instant.
I felt sick to my stomach. I'd built my entire business on borrowed land.
Maybe you can relate?
Creating content, building an audience, gaining traction... but deep down, you know it could all disappear tomorrow.
Here's what nobody tells you about social media: The bigger your following gets, the less connection you have with your audience.
But with my newsletter? Everything changed.
Within 6 months:
? 3,700+ engaged subscribers
? 35%-40%+ open rates
? 5-10 product sales daily
? Direct conversations with readers

Here's Why You Need a Newsletter in 2025:
1. You Own Your Audience
Think about it: When was the last time an email platform disappeared overnight? Your email list is the only audience you truly own.
2. Direct Connection
No algorithms. No filtered messages. Just real conversations with people who want to hear from you.
3. Authority Building
Every email builds your credibility. Every open strengthens your relationship.
4. Easy Monetization
Instead of hoping for viral posts, focus on serving your subscribers. The result? Consistent sales without begging for attention.
The Side Hustle Nobody Talks About
With today's uncertain economy, having a newsletter isn't just smart – it's necessary. It's your low-overhead, high-impact side hustle that can grow into something bigger.
When I started my Substack earlier this year, I was burnt out from client work. Now? I've built a system that generates consistent income with less than 10 hours of work per week.
Here's Your Quick Win:
Look at your last viral post. Turn it into an email. Focus on storytelling and one key takeaway. That's your first newsletter.
Remember: Every day you wait is another day you're building on borrowed land.
