Great breakdown! Much less than this is being sold for $$$, thanks for making this available the way you are!

I'm curious, what are "dark posts"? I'm pretty conversant with Substack but I haven't heard of that? Thanks for sharing your system.

It's how I refer to posts that don't show on your profile. It's a term from Facebook ads, and I use it here :) When you send an email to your subscribers on substack but it isn't posted to your publication - I refer to that as a "dark post."

Got it. Being able to send emails through substack is an excellent feature. Thanks for your reply.

But your newsletter subscribers will get notifications daily. Isn’t it too much?

Subscribers only get notifications for "Posts", not Notes. So they wouldn't be getting daily notifications. But on the same note, I know many people that post articles daily, successfully. So it is possible.

Solid strategy. I've been thinking of implementing something similar because I want to automate emails to do the selling for me, and Substack cannot do that.

Once you bolt on Kit (or alternatives) you can start to have this run on autopilot. Then you can still utilize drop posts on Substack 1-2x per month.

Drop me a dm.

However, not sure what tool, app or website is needed? If you're uploading it to Gumroad that's all you need friend.

Last week, I created a product. I typed it out in a google doc. Saved it as a pdf. Added it to gumroad.

Try not to overcomplicate the process.

People don't care what tool, app, or website is used. They are seeking a solution to a problem.
