(Live) Amy Suto on holding MORE and redistributing power (and money) to writers.

Hi Sparklers!!This was such a fascinating chat. Amy went from LA based Yoga Teacher to a 7 Figure Founder / Writer with a journey of curiosity in-between. I asked her about her new book - Write for Money and Power and building a 6 figure Substack here on Substack. We dig into income streams and online happiness, diversity of work and fulfilling community work.

She runs multiple ventures including ghostwriting memoirs for high-paying clients, her Substack “Pseudoscience,” and Make Writing Your Job—a writing jobs board that added nearly $200,000 in annual recurring revenue in 12 months.Breaking the Starving Artist Myth Amy’s forthcoming book “Write for Money and Power” (January 2025) challenges the romanticized notion that writers must be broke. She outlines three essential income engines: self-publishing books, paid newsletters on Substack, and freelancing—all working together to create a sustainable creative career.Transparency and Community From her first $10,000 as a freelance writer to seven figures, Amy has openly shared her income journey, believing transparency helps others see what’s possible. She emphasizes returning to your “why” and building for community rather than getting caught in comparison traps.Practical Growth Strategies The conversation explores energy management over time management, setting boundaries with technology, and smart content distribution. Amy reveals that 30% of their paid traffic comes from LinkedIn and shares tactics for repurposing Substack content across platforms without triggering algorithm penalties.Protecting Creative Energy Both speakers discuss the importance of taking breaks, managing nervous system responses to online visibility, and creating systems that prevent burnout while maintaining profitable businesses.Other people we mention in the call.Katie Chappell at Illustrator Jobs Board.My Invite to you to join - 12 Chapters Club - join us!
