Listen Later

Episode 2 of Season 2 is here!

Today, I chat to Claudia Faith about how she grew a sustainable writing-based business on Substack, where she helps other writers get paid for their words.

In this episode, we discuss:

- How Claudia went from working with investor startups to full-time writer

- How she grew a 3,000+ audience on Substack in just 6 months

- Our thoughts on the use of AI in writing

- How our writing processes differ

- How to build trust with readers through authenticity

- Key approaches writers can take to generate income from their words

- Why Substack is such a brilliant platform for writers at any stage in their journey

Make sure to drop a question for Claudia in the comments after listening.

And as always, paid members can watch every full video episode in our Member Resource Hub.
