Wow, we've grown by more than 50 members this week. Welcome to all of you who recently joined the Society. I thought it would be a great for us to get to know each other a little better. What were you doing 5 years ago vs. today? And how is your life different because of any changes you made intentionally or unintentionally? I was deep in corporate marketing with zero plan to leave. Now I run my portfolio businesses from my couch. Your turn.

I opened this community for creators who want to grow, monetize, and scale Substack into a portfolio business with multiple income streams. This is where we talk about the things most creators skip: paid tiers, digital products, offer strategy, sponsorships, positioning, and the AI workflows that help you do more without hiring. If you're new here, introduce yourself below with: - Your Substack URL - Your niche - Whether you're free-only, paid, or selling products already - Your #1 monetization goal for the next 90 days - I’ll be in the comments.

What's one book, podcast, or show that changed how you think? Mine is The One Thing by Gary Keller. The big takeaway for me was that there's always a long to-do list, but the move is to prioritize the things that make everything else easier or faster. To this day, I wake up every morning and pick one to three tasks that do exactly that. It basically helps me get out of my own way. What's yours? And what stayed with you from it?

I'd love to know what everyone's working on right now. What's the project that has most of your attention this week?

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?
