Finally. A Substack Course That Shows You Where Everything Actually Is
You've heard Substack is where women like you are getting clients without fighting an algorithm every single day.
You're not wrong. But nobody's told you how to set it up.
Let's fix that.
You've probably already opened Substack, clicked around, and closed the tab.
Maybe you tried to figure out your About page and gave up halfway through. Maybe you searched YouTube for "how to set up Substack" and got twelve different videos, none of which showed you the thing you actually needed to know. Maybe you're already publishing and you just found out your email platform is sending duplicate emails to the same people, and you have no idea how long that's been happening.
None of that is because you're bad at this. It's because Substack was built by people who assumed you already knew where everything was.
Nobody walked you through it in order. You got left to piece it together from scraps.
Substack works differently than social media.
You're not chasing an algorithm or hoping the right person scrolls past you at the right second. You're building a home base, one that's actually yours, where the people who find you stay found.
But a home base only works if it's set up right.
Substack 101 walks you through the exact setup, in order, so you're not googling your way through it or watching a random video from someone who skipped the step you actually needed.
Here's What You'll Get
Substack 101 starts with the foundational setup. You'll get your account built, your About page written and edited, your logo sized correctly, and your first post published, all in a day, all in the right order.
From there, it covers what nobody else tells you. The technical stuff. The things that quietly go wrong if you don't know to look for them.

This is for you if you've heard Substack is worth trying and you want to get it right the first time instead of rebuilding it in six months.
It's for you if you're already on Substack and something feels off, duplicate emails, a logo that looks wrong, a publication that's somehow doubled itself, and you haven't had time to track down why.
It's for you if you're tired of learning things sideways. You want someone to hand you the order of operations and let you follow it.
What Makes This Different
Most Substack tutorials assume you already know your way around. They'll show you how to write a post and call it done.
This course was built by someone who's spent sixteen years teaching tech to women who didn't grow up online. Every lesson assumes nothing. Every step is connected to the one before it. If something in Substack can quietly break your setup without you knowing, it's in here.
