Fast-track your geowth! Top Substack Creators GRow with Substack Notes

Ready to go from seeing no traction, posting into the void to a paid Substack Notes writer who finally feels seen?

Hey there, future Substack Notes Rockstar! 👋


The Substack Notes Bootcamp is opening its doors for another 2026. This 4-day LIVE cohort. Based Bootcamp is for beginners who are not seeing any traction, and aren't getting "This Note Made You" notification. Or simply want to save hours of their lives by learning from 3 Substack Bestsellers that have gone before them:


  • Viral Notes writer and bestselling author Karen Salmansohn,
  • Oprah-featured psychotherapist Ellen Scherr,
  • and yours truly, Kristina, top 15 international part-time Substack Bestseller, all went from zero to building a healthy, sustainable, and thriving email list on Substack by making Notes the #1 growth driver.



Inside Bootcamp you'll learn:


Exact methods, frameworks and writing principles

  • Consistently publish Notes
  • find you ideal readers
  • get likes, comments, and re-stacks
  • win follower
  • covert new subscribers
  • paid subscribers and raving fans

Timeframe:


Show funnel:

Master short-form writing on Notes - interact and engage - find your ideal audience in the feed - - get discovered - win people to follow you - convert new subscribers with every note you post -


Myths:


Linda Lebrun, I talked with her: 4 Mythts - take the quiz:

  1. My audience isn't there - 20M monthly subscribers, there's an audience for everyone
  2. Only writers on Notes posting about Substack - not correct. Only shows you what you're looking for. So in the beginning you might see these but over time as you train the algo it will know what you really need: Gail Keyes shared; my people are popping upt in my feed like popcorn
  3. Takes too much time, don't want to add more to my plate - you don't need to. You can now batch create and schedule Substack Notes. There's a tool, a computer engineer patrick God created called StackBuddy (30-day access included!) which shows you best time to post, most successful psots, which posts converted paid subscribers, what to post more of, link tracker, also cross-publish to LinkedIn to build a flywheel.
  4. I shouldn't restack - wrong. Re-stacking is one of the most powerful ways to grow. When you re-stack someone else’s Note, you’re endorsing them and that generosity loops back.”

I thank Kristina so much for helping me get started on Substack. Today was a big highlight! My viral post made its way onto the Oprah website. Jumping into this whole thing was so overwhelming! But Kristina made it feel doable.

Her guidance got me unstuck and actually moving forward, which is exactly what I needed. It means more than you know to have someone in your corner when you're trying something new."

Kristina gave me the confidence to START to hype myself. I now add new subscribers to my list every single day.

My publisher told me to start a Substack. I felt completely overwhelmed. I was stuck. Kristina changed that.


Her guidance helped me find my voice and my rhythm.


Today, my newsletter has almost 5,000 subscribers. More than that, it has opened doors I never expected. My email list truly changed what I believed was possible for me.

Substack Notes Accelerated Our Growth — Here’s Our Story

Kristina God — Your Host (All 3 Days)

Hi 👋🏻 I'm a Substack Bestseller and Top #25 Education publication globally

I'm an award-winning marketing and brand manager, as well as a part-time freelance writer. I love teaching dreamers how to make money as a part-time writer while keeping their 9-5 or even escaping the cubicle and turning their passion into a living.


Once I figured out the why behind my part‑time online writing, everything changed — and I want the same for you.


I started writing (almost) daily on Medium in winter 2020… in my bathrobe. After giving birth to my baby, I kept going and quickly became a Top Writer in more than 50 categories, ranging from Parenting to Technology on the platform.


In fall 2022, I added my Substack newsletter, The Online Writing Club, because I didn’t want to put all my eggs in one basket. I started with zero subscribers and zero income. At first, I was flailing — not because I didn’t want to grow, but because I was pregnant and sick most of the time. Showing up consistently felt impossible.

Kristina God — Your Host (All 4 Days)

Fast forward to January 2024: I launched a paid version of my newsletter. Within just 60 days, I became a Substack Bestseller with hundreds of paying subscribers — all while supporting new writers, creators, indie authors, small guys, and dreamers like you.


Now, my newsletter is among the Top 25 publications globally — proof that even if you start from zero, with the right system and the right support, you can grow into something far bigger than you imagined. And I did it all part‑time.

Kristina God — Your Host (All 3 Days)

I earn $3,700/month with Substack


Fast forward to today, The Online Writing Club with 17,000 subscribers, is bringing in $3,700+ per month only (!) with paid subscriptions!


tripled my part-time income, have more than 350 paid subscribers, earn $44,000 in ARR (annual recurring income), belong to the Top 25 global writers and the top 50 Substack authors in Germany.


130,000+ Monthly Views

Additionally, aside from needing to take a break because I'm in the sandwich generation, my views have skyrocketed to over 130,000 per month!


The secret?


Showing up (almost) daily on Notes, engaging, and truly being part of the Substack community. But, of course, there's more, which you're gonna learn inside.


🚀 Consistency + Community + Connection = Growth.ers


How I Make Money with Substack Notes — Part-Time

REAL Substack Notes Results from REAL Tribe Members & Alumni

As a part‑time online writer, Kickstarter Bootcamps are my thing.

I’ve hosted the Medium KickstarterSubstack KickstarterMedium–Substack FlywheelSEOOnline WritingOnline Courses, and Hype Yourself Up! Bootcamps.


And the best part?

I’ve taught these exact systems to hundreds of small, hidden writers — people just like you — who are now:


✅ Landing their very first readers

✅ Hitting their first 100, then 1,000, and even 30,000+ subscribers

✅ Earning their first paying subscribers (and growing beyond what they thought was possible)

✅ Publishing bestselling newsletters and books


These aren’t “influencers.” These are everyday writers who once thought their dreams were out of reach — until they put these systems into action.


These aren’t unicorns. They’re real people with a message — who finally learned how to be seen on the internet streets.
