🌱 Dear Substaker on the Verge of Giving Up
First, take a deep breath. You’re not alone. Many of us have stared at that little subscriber number, willing it to change, wondering if we’re shouting into a void. It’s frustrating. It’s exhausting. Yes, the silence following hard work is often devastating.
But rest assured of something powerful: consistency always prevails.
You’re showing up every day. That alone puts you ahead of 90% of the crowd. Now, let’s focus your fire and turn your passion into a magnetic force.
✍️ 1. Refine Your Message
People don’t subscribe to newsletters—they subscribe to feelings, solutions, and hope. Clarify your niche in one sentence:
👉 “This newsletter exists to help [your audience] feel [emotion] and achieve [result].”
Write that. Post it. Own it.
💌 2. Write to One Person
Do not address your writing to a nebulous entity known as “the internet”, but focus on a specific audience or purpose. Write to one reader—the one who is struggling, the one who needs light, the one who sees themselves in your journey. The full weight of the situation will settle upon them, and they will feel its profound impact.
📣 3. Promote Authentically
Share snippets on social media, such as Medium, or WhatsApp statuses. Ask your friends to forward your words to someone who will benefit from them. Be real, because people crave sincerity more than polish.
🎁 4. Give More Than You Take
Offer value: free PDFs, inspirational notes, useful tips, and a quick challenge. Help first. Ask later. Trust grows from generosity.
🤝 5. Collaborate and comment
Support other writers. Leave thoughtful comments. Feature a favourite Substack in your newsletter. When you show up for others, they show up for you.
🔥 Your Worth Is Not Measured in Subscribers
We measure your worth by the impact you make. That impact starts when one person cries, sometimes takes action, or finds courage because they heard and connected with your voice.
In Conclusion;
Hold on. Keep writing. You are planting seeds that will grow into something bigger than you imagined.
Don't stop now. The 13th subscriber might be the one who shares your work with 1,000 more.
Call to Action:
Today, revise your About page. Make it clear, heartfelt, and bold. Then share one note you’re proud of with three people who need it.
Just three.
Because your voice matters, and the world is waiting to hear your story.
Here, @itispossiblehub, we speak the truth, and we acknowledge pain. We honour your process. And more than anything, we remind you:
You are not too late. You are not too broken. And you are never too far gone.
