This month’s topic:

What’s working/ general questions/ wins/ requests: The first half of the meeting is open for anyone who has questions, would like to share ideas or tips, would like feedback about anything they are doing or thinking about doing on Substack, and to share wins and successes.

The second half of the meeting is for discussion around a main topic. This month’s topic came up in last month’s meeting. Most Substack writers are hoping to create an income through their newsletter. As we all know, creating an income through paid subscriptions is challenging and perhaps not even possible for many writers. But paid subscriptions are only one way to create income for your work.

This month, we’ll brainstorm ideas for gathering your community and then creating things of value that serve your readers and create an income so that we can all keep doing what we do.

Important reminder: These meetings are a gathering of colleagues to discuss the work here on Substack, not a webinar with an expert who is there to tell us how to do something. Think of them as a virtual gathering at the water cooler where you can voice questions and challenges and offer your own ideas and expertise in exchange.

How to get the most out of the meeting

Come to the meeting prepared to ask questions and offer feedback. We all have different areas of expertise and one of the most valuable things about a mastermind is the shared knowledge pool. So, bring your questions and your challenges so we can all go to work on them! And also, be prepared to offer feedback, tips, and ideas to others in the group when you have something to offer.

Did you learn something new recently? Hear an excellent tip or idea? What’s working for you? What’s frustrating you? What are you curious about? Gather your thoughts and be open to sharing. I know from experience that this is a smart, welcoming, accomplished, supportive group!

Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions for how we can make these meetings as valuable as possible for all of us!
