The Substack Side Hustle Nobody's Talking About

I'm on substack, no one is paying to be on my blogs, newsletters, notes. Same with many others i chatted with, sure some do get paying subscribers but its going to take years, don't give up your day job.

Lori, I just found your YouTube channel, which led me to your Substack. I am on the roof now, ready to jump, and you need to talk me down. JK :) I am 55+. I’ve reinvented myself so many times that at this point, I’m not even a person anymore—I’m a limited edition box set with three different covers and a bonus disc of questionable life choices. Back to why I am on the roof, after watching your success stories on YouTube, I am looking in the mirror and asking the big stupid there what are you doing wrong. I do not lack ambition. When COVID-19 hit, I was living in Las Vegas and self-teaching myself everything about crypto. Being a fitness nerd, I was going to the gym five times a week, because health is wealth. What good is tons of money if you are sick? Anyway, back to COVID, when it closed down my local gym, I was like a caged animal, so I bought some resistance bands and thought I would maintain until we got the all clear to return to the gym. Well, it became obvious that it was going to be a while, so I decided to build my own home gym. Fast forward to 2023, and I realized after building a home gym that worked well for me that maybe others would benefit from my experience. So I started a blog on Medium, created a faceless YouTube channel, a Substack, a post on Bluesky, X, Skool community, and Instagram. I have a " Build Your Own Home Gym " PDF on Gumroad. So why am I on the roof after watching your YouTube? Because I am not making any revenue! So what the heck am I doing wrong? Do I need a secret potion from Miss Rudolph, the Voodoo lady? :)

This is good thank you! It's crazy that we restack everyone else's notes & articles but I've never thought about restacking my own!!!

Hi Lori, I'm loving your content and have become a paid subscriber on your Substack, on the verge of getting into your coaching program. I'm information gathering on all the various places sharing my hobbies, knowledge and experience as a 59, mid-divorce polymath kind of neurodivergent gal could be a way to support myself and maybe even keep my home I love. My overwhelm right now is staggering. I'm inspired at your openness and enthusiasm and encouragement. I've vacillate between thinking it's too much to take on board and thinking I need to know if this is something I can do. Not sure if this is really a question, perhaps you will see me in your coaching soon. Thank you for this!

Hello, Lori, Thanks for this info! I've been trying to develop a YouTube presence (very slowly) just to get improved traffic to my hobby website. Substack is definitely something for me to look into next! ❤

Found you on Substack! Thanks.

I just love this so much! Thank you for sharing! What an inspiration! 💙💙💙

Lori can you please share the software that you're using to record this is it streamyard?

Just curious why you put all those phrases in quotes in your description?

How did you get YouTube to allow your Fourthwall digital products. They initially approved mine and then disallowed them. Seems odd.
