Beyond Paid Subscribers

How to Make Money on Substack

In this episode, Scott shares how to turn Substack into a revenue engine—even if you don’t have thousands of readers or any paid subscribers yet. You’ll hear his personal journey from digital-marketing burnout to building a business that truly fits his values, plus actionable strategies you can start using right away.

What’s covered:

  • How Scott hit his annual revenue goals by June, without a large paid subscriber base

  • Why the traditional “power offer + funnel” model left him burned out

  • Leveraging Substack’s built-in network effect to attract a higher-quality audience

  • Adopting a “Forever Offer” mindset: selling access, accountability, and implementation help rather than just information

  • Creating free, high-value content that turns readers into evangelists and paying clients

  • Two “Cashflow Catalyst” campaigns you can run in days to generate revenue (no landing pages or complex funnels required)

  • The coach-as-early-exit mindset: Your goal is to coach yourself out of a job by helping clients achieve results fast
