Writing Challenge: November 2024
This months theme: CONSISTENCY + RELATIONSHIPS
This is it!
The final piece of the puzzle.
Now you have everything you need to grow your Substack:
the monthly Notes30 Challenge where you grow your subscribers,
the weekly Write2Sell column where you learn how to convert them to paid and keep them paying, and…
the monthly Writing Challenge where you apply the knowledge from the Write2Sell column in practice and grow your paid subscribers
Why a Writing Challenge?
If we look at the 5 elements you need to grow your Substack, this challenge covers the essential two of them:
content - where you deliver on your promise in your offer
relationship building - where you connect with your audience and keep them engaged
and if you’re into paywalling, it also covers:
selling - where you sell without selling, by using your content and the value it delivers
The Substack Monthly Writing Challenge - November 2024
What is it?
It’s a challenge for writing.
But not just writing.
It’s built to help you apply everything from the Write2Sell column in practice. Because learning how to do things is nothing if you don’t apply what you learn.
So, in this challenge, we’ll apply things in practice.
How?
Every month we’ll have a dedicated theme from the three elements:
Writing
Relationship building
Selling through value
As a reminder: last month’s theme was CONSISTENCY in writing.
NEW THIS MONTH:
