I Have 238 Substack Subscribers After 2 Years And It Became My Most Listened Episode

Join my substack : ⁠https://mademoisellemindset.substack.com/⁠If you need help figuring this out, I created ⁠⁠The $5K Breakthrough System⁠⁠, a diagnostic workbook that shows you exactly what’s leaking revenue, time, and energy in your business in just 48 hours : https://gumroad.com/products/fljzq.One of my biggest failures helped me get my most listened English podcast episode and grow my visibility more than anything I'd done before. I've been on Substack for 2 years with 238 subscribers. I decided to share that openly my journey, my plateau, my slow season. And it changed everything. People tell you to never share your failures. But your failure is the exact connection point your audience needs to say I want to work with her. In this video I break down what I shared, why it worked, and the long-term Pinterest and content strategy I use to grow without a big following. The slow season is not the end.
