I loved reading this! I started substack for similar reasons (wrote on medium, wanted to learn to build with AI, and document my learnings along the way), and your post really resonated with me.
Thank you, Claudia! I’m so glad to have you along on this journey. Your work has been my inspiration too! And honestly, it’s made me feel a lot less alone.
Awesome read! Glad you're figuring things out in your Substack. I'm one of those people who write a lot about AI concepts but actually haven't built anything with it -- I'm somewhat interested, but am afraid to jump into it because I have no technical background whatsoever 😂 So, I settle for reading the work of far more interesting people!!
But I wouldn’t say you “haven’t built anything”. You’re a writing expert and strategist who skillfully uses AI to boost creative productivity. That’s a whole different kind of expertise, and just as valuable.
Thanks for sharing! You projects are interesting. I tried the viral notes one a few weeks ago and it didn’t work for me. As I recall, it wasn’t finding my Substack. But I’ll try again. I like the idea.

**Hot take:** If your target audience is "everyone," you’re marketing to no one. 🎯 Pineapple on pizza proves it—some love it, some hate it. Your business thrives when you speak directly to the people who *get* you. Who’s your "pineapple-on-pizza" client? Drop a comment!
**Controversial opinion:** "Ready-to-buy" clients don’t care about your credentials—they care that you *see* their struggle. 🚀 Stop selling features; start solving their pain. Who was your last dream client? Tag them below!
Thanks for continuing sharing your story. It serves as inspiration to others.

Interesting… there definitely are some newsletters that are harder to surface.
But I tried your newsletter at https://liveyourcreativelife.substack.com and was able to get results—here’s a little sneak peek at what came back :)
