Hello! In the lead up to our live Q&A this Friday we thought we’d share a replay of the Substack Q&A Sara hosted last year. Before we get into the replay, let’s just give you all the details for the upcoming live so you won’t miss it.
The next live Q&A “Substack for Instagrammers”
Join us this Friday! We’ll be there to help answer your questions about Substack and Instagram: using the two together, how to transition your work to this space and whatever other questions you may have!
When? Friday 19th April, 12 Noon BST, 9pm AEST (Timezone woes? Check out World Time Buddy here.)
Where? Over on Instagram at @me_and_orla (look for the ‘live’ circle around Sara’s profile picture when it starts.) If you have questions please bring them along!
Can’t make it and still have questions? No problems! Submit your questions here, and/or catch the replay which we’ll upload here after the fact.
Back to today’s episode, in this Q&A from last year Sara tackles questions like:
How can I use Substack to market my business? Is that even allowed?
Can I just use it instead of staying on Instagram?
What if I don’t have much of an audience yet?
Can I use Substack if I’m not much of a writer?
What about my existing blog and mailing list?
And much more.

In the meantime, we’re both looking forward to chatting live very soon!

“Such a brilliant experience.”
Sara and Keeley are so encouraging and inspiring and it's been a pleasure to be part of their community. The resources in the Substack Soiree are beautifully presented and practical - there are short tasks and steps you can put into practice straight away to start and grow your Substack community. Their advice in the coaching calls was so useful whether it was in answer to a question I asked or one that someone else brought along. I've watched the replays of the classes again and taken notes and I enjoyed the co-working calls for some extra accountability too. I really can't recommend it enough, especially if you're new to Substack and are feeling overwhelmed or not good enough to write here - this class will help you get organised, gain confidence and create a plan for your newsletter that's right for you and what you'd like to offer.

“It’s honestly the best course I’ve ever done!”
The Soirée has given me some wonderful ideas on how I can begin to move forward with my publication. Everything was so beautifully designed and laid out in a way that was easy to understand and work through in your own time. I couldn’t be more grateful and I loved the calls too! A huge thank you to both for putting on this wonderful course and allowing us all the room to grow on this platform.

“Think of this as an up-to-date digital communication refresh, underpinned with a precious modern marketing approach, delivered by two warm-hearted and extremely knowledgable hosts.”
I can't recommend the Substack Soirée highly enough. Sara and Keeley have created an extremely well-crafted and beautifully curated offering that has got me wanting to write write write. Some of the lessons can be applied to areas outside of Substack too. Enjoyed every minute. It would be impossible not to apply the skills learned to other arenas and I'm so pleased to say I feel my general "toolkit" has expanded exponentially.
