AI for images
I'm preparing my newsletter for Tuesday and I'm really excited about it because it's all about visual branding. This is something I don't really talk about, but I've been using AI for image creation since the early days of Midjourney. I went live with Pinkie from AI Meets Girl Boss last week and we talked about visual branding and how it lead to more subscribers for both of us. In the comments, I'm sharing a few prompts that will be included in Tuesday's paid subscriber issue so you can try them out. I'm wondering what the members of this community have done for their visual branding. Please feel free to share your style and drop some images in the comments. There are a total of 20 image prompts like these in Tuesday's issue. Would you like me to turn it into a guide and include it in the classroom?

These prompts are fantastic Carrie.
How many subscribers do you have?
Which best describes your current stage: just launched, under 500 subs, 500–2,000, or 2,000+?

Notes Reality Check
There’s no shortage of advice about how often to post Notes. But I’d rather hear from people actually using the platform. What’s your current Notes cadence? And have you noticed any difference when you post more often versus less often?

I post about 10 a day - I've got too many ideas! Not sure it helps except increases the odds of finding a higher performer
I quit my 9-5. Substack gets most of the credit
Hey everyone. Good to be here. I'm Derek, a writer and creator based in Manchester. I run the Irresistible Writer which delivers practical writing tools to paid subscribers every week. I came to this the way most people do. Writing on the side, posting into silence, not entirely sure I hadn't missed my window. I kept going anyway. Now I run paid cohorts and live masterclasses, and earns enough that I handed in my notice. That part still catches me off guard when I think about it. The thing I'm probably most proud of sits outside the subscriber count. I landed paid commissions from national magazines and got radio work, without a platform, without contacts, just by understanding how to pitch. I've since built a programme teaching exactly that. Writing, for me, has always been the engine. Every piece you publish is a small asset. It finds people, builds trust, opens doors you didn't know existed. That's what I'm here to talk about. Looking forward to learning from everyone here.
