On a scale of 1 to 5, this Bootcamp was a 5! I really enjoyed the detailed information that Carrie provided, as well as access to all the follow-up materials, which allowed me to implement the lessons each day. I feel much more confident about monetizing my Substack and have a deeper understanding about where to start, and how to scale. I highly recommend this program to others if you are seeking tactical information on monetizing from an expert in the field.

When I first stumbled across Carrie’s newsletter on Substack, I wasn’t looking for a strategy or a monetization plan. I was simply trying to find my footing as a writer in a world that felt overwhelming and noisy. Among the many voices offering guidance, Carrie’s stood out, not because the others lacked insight, but because her words felt like they were written specifically for me. Through her posts, exercises, and personal engagement, Carrie helped me define my value proposition, shape a thoughtful strategy, and—most importantly—become intentional with my writing. She doesn’t just dispense advice from a pedestal; she embodies everything she teaches. Her work proves she walks the walk, and that level of authenticity made me trust her not only as a mentor but as a fellow creator. Carrie’s ability to speak directly to the chaos of early-stage newsletter writers is uncanny. Her writings made me feel seen, and her genuine care—something you can’t fake—kept me coming back. I chose to follow her exclusively, not due to a lack of alternatives, but because her guidance consistently resonated in a way no one else’s did.

Carrie's knowledge is super-helpful BUT it was the implementation, the strategies, and examples that made it actionable. I highly recommend her for expertise, great teaching methods and accessibility.
