From Unstuck to Published Live Workshop!!
Build your Substack live in 60 minutes — and leave with a publication people can actually subscribe to and pay for. This Saturday, May 9th 10am ET!!
Most creators aren’t stuck because they don’t know what to write.
They’re stuck because every tiny decision turns into a full-body identity crisis.
The name.
The niche.
The categories
The About page.
The tech setup.
The first post.
The paid offer.
The question of whether they’re “ready enough” to start.
So nothing gets published.
Not because they can’t, but because they won’t decide.
At some point, you stop needing more ideas.
You need decisions.
Momentum.
And someone to stop you from rebuilding your About page for the ninth time.
That’s exactly what we’re doing inside →
From Unstuck to Published
A live workshop where we build your Substack from scratch—together.
This Saturday at 10am ET, I’m hosting a live 60-minute workshop where we’ll build your Substack foundation in real time.
Not theoretically.
Actually.
Live.
By the end, you’ll have the core pieces in place so your publication can stop living in your notes app like a sad little ghost draft.
You’ll leave with:
A publication name.
A clear niche and positioning.
A one-sentence publication description.
Your About page structured.
Your Welcome page set up.
How to enable paid subscriptions.
Your first article direction.
Know SEO optimization for articles.
A live Substack publication built correctly from day one.
This is one focused session where we stop circling the idea and get your publication live.
No 42-step funnel.
No complicated growth strategy.
No months of planning before you publish.
Just the foundation you need to start publishing.
The Real Problem
Most creators don’t need another productivity hack.
They need a process that stops them from spiraling every time they need to make a decision.
Because right now, your brain is treating “choose a publication name” like you’re naming a child, signing a mortgage, and declaring your entire life philosophy in one sentence.
It’s too much and it’s keeping you stuck.
This workshop gives you a clear order of operations so you know what to decide first, what to ignore for now, and what needs to be good enough to go live.
Good enough counts.
Published counts more.
The 3-Phase Setup
Inside the workshop, I’ll walk you through the same foundational setup I use to build Substack publications without overbuilding the thing before it exists.
Phase 1: Clarity
We’ll define:
Your publication name
Your categories
Your niche
Your audience
Your publication description
Your publication logo
So people can land on your page and understand what the hell it is.
Phase 2: Structure
We’ll set up:
Your About page specific direction.
Your Welcome page and custom skip button.
Your paid subscription settings & how and when to enable paid.
Your publication basics.
Your core tags.
So your Substack doesn’t feel like a half-built IKEA shelf with three missing screws.
Phase 3: Publish
We’ll map:
Your first article direction.
Your story structure.
Your lesson or framework.
Your call to action.
So you can publish your first piece without treating every sentence like a hostage negotiation.
As I say inside my foundational checklist:
“You do not need perfection. You do not need a complex strategy. You need clarity and execution.”
Who This Workshop Is For
This workshop is for:
You’ve had a Substack idea sitting in your notes for months.
You keep changing the name, niche, or concept.
You’re overwhelmed by all the setup pieces.
You’ve started, but your publication still feels messy.
You want to publish before you feel perfectly ready.
You need someone to walk you through the setup in order.
This is not for you if:
You want to stay in research mode forever.
You want endless strategy before action.
You’re looking for advanced growth tactics before your publication exists.
You’re not willing to make decisions during the workshop.
Because this isn’t a “think about your newsletter someday” workshop.
This is a build-it-now workshop.
Who Am I?
I’m Jess, The Creator also known as Jessica.
I’m a nurse practitioner turned stock trader, writer, and multi-publication Substack builder.
I’ve built multiple Substack best-seller paid newsletters, launched workshops, tested offers publicly, and figured out what actually matters before your first 1,000 subscribers.
And I’ve made the mistakes too.
Overthinking the name.
Overbuilding the setup.
Waiting for things to feel more polished than they needed to be.
The difference is, I stopped treating perfection like a prerequisite.
I started building publicly.
That’s what I’m helping you do here.
