SUMMARY:WEBINAR | Your Words\, Your Readers: Building a Substack That Lasts
DESCRIPTION:What separates a thriving newsletter from one that fizzles out after three posts? A best-selling Substack founder has answers you can use.\n\n\n\nFor publicity/platform-buildingIncluded in the Season Pass \n\n\n\nIn recent years\, many writers have turned to Substack and other newsletter platforms as a way to explore niche interests\, publish creative work\, and bypass gatekeepers to connect directly with readers. Newsletters in all formats can help writers grow an audience\, gain craft confidence\, and build a publicity platform to support publishing their books\, public speaking\, and teaching careers.  \n\n\n\nIn this session\, we will start from the beginning and look at how to create a newsletter for anyone eager to begin. We’ll address important and often-overlooked areas like the Substack name\, About section\, and style. We’ll also look at common questions: How often should you post? How long should your posts be? What should you write about (and what if you change your mind)? How do you sustain momentum beyond the first few months? Finally\, we’ll discuss how to gain readers and continue growing your audience over time. \n\n\n\nNote: While this webinar will include technical elements specific to Substack\, the underlying principles of newsletter set-up\, frequency\, audience awareness\, and platform growth will apply to any newsletter or email-sending platform. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn this webinar\, you will:\n\n\n\n\nLEARN HOW to start a Substack and what pitfalls to avoid\n\n\n\nUNDERSTAND best strategies for maintaining a newsletter over the long haul\n\n\n\nSTRATEGIZE how to grow readership and build a platform\n\n\n\nGET INSPIRED to launch a Substack and connect directly with readers\n\n\n\n\nThis webinar is ideal for writers who… \n\n\n\n\nhave a Substack (or other type of newsletter) but feel stagnant\n\n\n\nwant to learn whether or not to launch a newsletter (and are curious about pros and cons)\n\n\n\nare excited about their newsletter and want to keep growing it\n\n\n\nare overwhelmed by the prospect of a newsletter and want to see if it’s the right fit for their own platform\n\n\n\n\nClosed captioning is available. ✔All registrants receive the recording. ✔ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT YOUR PRESENTER\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA down-to-earth\, practical\, and encouraging teacher\, Becky Tuch is the founder ofLit Mag News\, a bestselling Substack dedicated to demystifying the world of literary magazines.Lit Mag News has over 17\,000 subscribers and has been listed in Writer’s Digest’s 101 Best Websites for Writers.
