Substack Notes Kickstarter Bootcamp 2026
Why Some Writers Shine on Substack… and Others Stay Invisible
The truth no one tells you about Notes — and the simple system that gets you seen, even if no one knows your name (yet) — to go from a hidden gem to a paid Substack Notes writer.
Hey there, future Substack rockstar! 👋
I’m READY to help you kickstart your Substack Notes journey and create a profitable newsletter that puts you a step ahead of the rest.
So I’d love to invite you to join this year’s LIVE one-of-a-kind community of writers, dreamers, and builders who share one goal: Boost their Notes presence as smoothly as possible.
Want to invest in yourself in 2026?
Then take this as a loving kick in the pants. This Bootcamp only happens once a year. That makes this your moment to form friendships, build smart strategies, and create the frameworks and mindset that can shape your entire 2026 writing business and beyond.
You're wildly capable of so much more. We both know it.
You have something beautiful to say. Your stories can change lives, get attention, build a real community, and make good money.
So if you’re ready to stop with business as usual, let March 2026 be the month you finally take action and crush your goals.
This is YOUR moment!
Because here's the truth…
Every day you don’t post on Notes, someone else is building the audience you could have had.
- They’re getting discovered.
- They’re growing their email list.
- They’re converting readers into paid subscribers.
Meanwhile, you’re left scrolling, overthinking, wondering:
“Is it too late for me to start?”
I know that pain because I lived it. When I started in January 2024, I had no audience on Substack, no clear “voice,” and zero clue how to "do" Notes the right way.
But once I figured out the system — how to combine personality + expertise + proven posting frameworks — everything changed and I even started to make money posting on Notes.
This is exactly why I created the Substack Notes Kickstarter Bootcamp - no fluff and all action. 🎉
It's my fun, hands-on, on-demand experience designed to take you from feeling...
- small, stuck, and invisible… to
- consistent, confident, and building momentum on Substack Notes.
I’m going to teach you:
- how to combine your heart
- your experience
- your "YOUness"
- your expertise
...with the proven 4‑Step Substack Notes Strategy to…
- (finally!) kickstart your short‑form writing journey
- find your tribe and build a real community
- connect with others and grow your audience
- be seen, heard, and valued for your voice
in an E-A-S-Y way!
This time, I’ll be co‑hosting with Bootcamp alumni who started from zero and learned how to navigate the internet streets with Substack Notes.
Together with:
- Gail K. - 69yo, reinvention coach, viral Notes writer
- Sara Redondo - MD, viral Notes writer, top Substack #Health bestseller
I''ll show you how...
...to (finally!) get paid to be you in 2026!

Substack Notes Accelerated Our Growth — Here’s Our Story

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.

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.

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!
I 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
Meet Dr. Sara Redondo

Hi 👋🏼 I'm Sara Redondo, Medical Doctor, Holistic Practitioner and Viral Substack Writer
“The greatest medicine of all is teaching people how not to need it.” — Hippocrates.
That’s the purpose of my newsletter, Zenith Within.
After losing my mom to cancer, something shifted. I became a medical doctor, and writing became a way to heal — and to help others.
When I joined Kristina’s Bootcamp, I was a doctor who never thought I’d become a writer. But Substack Notes changed everything.
By sharing openly about holistic health, prevention, and the mind-body connection, my posts got re-stacked hundreds of times and my Notes started going viral — bringing in hundreds of new subscribers overnight.
That virality meant more than numbers. It meant building a community. It meant finally being seen. It meant knowing my message mattered.
Today, I write for 40,000 readers who want lasting well-being for themselves and their loved ones.
The Bootcamp gave me the clarity and confidence to grow. It transformed my story into a bestselling Substack and a thriving global community. And soon I'll publish my first book, Delicious Longevity.
Substack blooms for those who plant with care.
In my opinion, growth starts when you stop pretending.
If you're done performing and ready to tell the truth of your life, you're so welcome to join us!
Which sounds most like you?
- New to Substack? Perfect! This Bootcamp takes you from zero to prolific Notes writer!
- You already have a teeny tiny list of 1, 10 or more subs, but feel stuck? Le's unstuck you!
- No "social media audience"? Great news! Authenticity beats follower counts every time.
- Worried you won’t know what to post? Don’t worry, you’ll get proven templates and prompts to lean on.
- Short on time? All good! Just a few focused sessions — with replays ready whenever you are
If you nodded “YES” to any of these, this Bootcamp was built for you.
Meet Gail Keyes-Allen

Hi 👋🏼 I'm Gail, rising Substack bestselling writer, 69yo, reinvention coach, viral Notes writer
When I joined Substack in February 2025, I was burned out and even at risk of losing my home.
Instead of hiding, in The Old Black Lady Chronicles, I started sharing openly — my age, my struggles, even the parts of my story I once thought worked against me.
That honesty changed everything. My Notes went viral, bringing thousands of likes, hundreds of new readers within just a few months.
I grew my Substack to 3,000 subscribers and earned $16,300 after almost giving up on my business entirely.
Becoming visible on Substack Notes gave me my confidence back.
It turned me from feeling invisible to being seen, led to interviews (including with AARP’s Ageless Ambition), new coaching clients, and most importantly, it reminded me — and now I remind the women I work with — that dreams don’t expire, rules are meant to be broken, and the most powerful chapter of your life can start right now.
Reinvention has no expiration date. Your most powerful chapter can start at any age.
With almost 70, I’m living proof: you’re not too old, and it’s not too late. Notes can change everything, if you dare to show up as your most authentic self.
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 Kickstarter, Substack Kickstarter, Medium–Substack Flywheel, SEO, Online Writing, Online 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.
