Well, this week flew by! Yesterday was the Monetize Your Mission Mastermind and though it was a last-minute scramble with rather jumbled notes I think we pulled it off okay.
It turned into a mini-Audit of several Substack publications.
@Sandy E asked about the order of things to implement what was discussed, so I thought I'd share the answer here publicly because it's a good question.
To begin with if you're just starting out with Substack go to the classroom and do the first three courses/steps Build Your Foundation, Setup Your Publication and then Create Your Profile Then I offer a Client Acquisition Audit to help you with applying these 3 steps. I will recommend you upgrade to VIP or simply purchase the Substack Setup Intensive at the end of the call.
(This community is setup to get you started with Substack and the classroom is organized like this:
Build →Publish→Grow )
During the audit, you will get a lot of value in terms of clarity around your offer and the next steps to take for Substack whether or not you chose to upgrade.
Once you go through those 3 foundational pieces - you're ready to start adding content because you will have you categories, sections and tags mapped out as well as our client journey and your payment option turned ON. No sense creating content for visibility when that visibility doesn't lead anywhere right?
Once you've added content - either created originally or sucked in through an rss feed you can start categorizing it and posting.
If you have set up your 3-5 sections it's good to have at least 6 or so pieces or each one as it will complete the "grid" on your home page.
At that point go pretty up your home page.
If you chose to do this section by section - as you add a section and fill it then create a feature or posts & modules section for it on the front page.
Now that we have all that answered go watch the Mastermind. https://youtu.be/dTk-SXIK3tE
And if you've gone through the Substack Setup Intensive you are entitled to a Substack Audit - #🔎Substack Audit which you can schedule there.

After the mastermind I walked into the living room to find my husband adding the light kit to the fan we had installed a couple weeks ago (the 6 week project that was supposed to take a couple hours) Really installing a light kit should have been hook up 2 wires and good to go - but it was a 3 hour project because it wasn't all that straight forward and my husband was tired before he started. 15 pictures and 4 conversation with Lumina later - we now have light in the living/dining area where no over head lighting existed before! Gotta love AI and can I mention that @Ken Hyra's daily notes have helped my almost 31 year old relationship so much with having patience to give my husband space to be his own person. and that @Deborah Oppenehim 's community has helped keep the spark alive too. Just wanted to thank you for doing what you do - you are making a difference.
