I Just Crossed 34,000 Podcast Downloads — Let’s Celebrate with a Podcast Masterclass!

...and I want to show you how you can do this too.

Honestly? I’m still kinda blown away.

When I started The Online Writing Club podcast on Substack part-time (!), I had…

• zero fancy gear.

• Zero podcasting experience.

• Zero clue how to get it on Spotify or Apple.

But here we are: 34,000 downloads later.

More importantly? That little podcast has become one of the biggest drivers of my newsletter growth.
It helped me get listed as one of Substack’s Top 25 Education Newsletters (as everyone is talking about the leaderboard, let me talk about it, too 😆 We’ll have a masterclass on all the new features soon to calm your nervous system)

• I learned A LOT!

• I improved my English (as a non-native).

• It built real relationships with my readers.

• It brought new people into my world every single week.

• I got to know soooo wonderful and incredible persons from around the world.

• I connected with with my interview partners on a deeper level and foudn friends.

And I want to show you exactly how I did it - the easy and messy part-time way (during lunch breaks and in the evenings 😆 in my PJ’s!

Because Here’s What Nobody Tells You About Podcasting

It doesn’t have to be complicated.

From The Online Writing Club tribe I know podcasting often feels overwhelming. I got so many questions inside the membership experience that I though we need this session. Because you don’t need…
❌ expensive gear
❌ big launch plans
❌ endless editing
❌producer

I just started (although I would have known how to do it better, as a marketing and brand manager) and experiemented a bit.

My learning: Podcasting at its core is simple. It’s about having fun and enjoying it.

It’s about talking and sharing. This can be as simple as just a voiceover of your post or talking with your best friend about your kids.
That’s it.

Especially on Substack.

Substack Makes It Ridicoudly Easy to:

• record your podcast (even straight from your browser)

• publish your first episode

• add multimedia

• send it directly to your email list

• sync it to Spotify & Apple with one click

• add free & paid episodes

• promote your podcast

• and build an actual community around your voice.

That’s exactly what I’m teaching in today’s Podcast Masterclass:

✅ How to set up your podcast on Substack in minutes

✅Super simple gear you “need to have”
✅How to record your first episode easily (even if it’s just a voiceover)
✅How to sync it with Spotify & Apple
✅How to promote it so people actually listen
✅How to grow your newsletter with it

✅My YouTube-Substack Podcasting Flywheel
✅ And yes — how to eventually make money with it

(Oh and of course there’s gonna be a follow-up session because when I prepared the deck during lunch break I found out there’s sooo much to cover. This one is really to get you going! We can “make it perfect” later. But when I answer your Qs, you’ll be free for your recordings.)

I promise, whether you dream of running a “real” podcast...
...or just want to share little voice notes with your audience every now (on Substack Notes) and then...

This is for you.

Podcasting Changed Everything For Me.

It helped me grow faster as a writer and human being.
It helped me connect deeper!
And most of all — it gave me a way to show up that felt fun and natural (even on busy weeks).

This masterclass will give you the tools — and the confidence — to start your podcast and get all your questions answered.

See you there?

(And yes, there’s a replay if you can’t make it live!)

My motto for today’s masterclass:

Stop overthing. Start recording!
