I currently offer Substack sponsorships (email newsletter, podcast, blog) because they let you reach (a) all my most trusted followers–my subscribers and listeners, (b) in a highly focused and engaged way, and (c) without the unpredictability of algorithms. As a bonus, I share links to Substack podcast episodes and blog posts on my social media platforms.
A few quick stats:
- 18,000+ email subscribers and 40-50%+ open rates
- Average of 10,000-15,000+ views per email newsletter in the first month (Views are higher than the open rate because email newsletters have permanent URLs and are search engine optimized and re-shared on social media platforms.)
- Most popular podcast episodes have 5,000+ listens each
- 46,000+ social media followers
- Demographic is:
- 96% female
- 51% married
- college-educated
- all ages
- 67% based in the U.S.A.
- 42% have an annual household income between $50,000 – $200,000

If you are interested in long-term consulting: please visit my Consulting page. I’m also open to brands seeking a more closely integrated partnership than a sponsorship with a highly experienced creator who can deliver unique value to their company in a “fractional” role. My specialties are helping new entrepreneurs learn how to market online and transitioning communities like book clubs and podcasts to the Substack platform with a purpose and a plan.
If you need anything else, please reach out via email at [email protected].
If you need a quote, would like to interview me, or have other press inquiries, I’m open and very responsive! See my many press examples, from appearing on The Today Show and an array of podcasts to being quoted in digital media like BuzzFeed, HuffPost, CNN, Esquire, Glamour, and many more. Please email me at [email protected].
Are you interested in expanding our reach together? I’m always open to mutually beneficial collaborations, quotes, interviews, and press opportunities. I often collaborate on mutual marketing initiatives with other creators, such as appearing on your podcast or Substack. Email me at [email protected].
Paid Sponsorships: I now offer Substack sponsorships. Sponsor me to guarantee coverage.
Unpaid Requests: I also offer earned media across my platforms, but this is at my full editorial discretion. For various reasons, including the volume of requests I receive (5-10 per day), time constraints, the costs of running this small business full-time, and respect for my paid sponsors, I maintain a tight editorial calendar. I prioritize my personal preferences, my readers’ preferences, and requests by aligned Substack users who engage with me and my content. When 25-50 requests per week ask me to offer free media placement, the reality is that it makes the most sense for my small business to support those who are building a real relationship and supporting me, too.
Collaboration Requests: I do often collaborate for free on mutually beneficial PR initiatives, such as appearing on your podcast or Substack, or you appearing on mine. Again, I prioritize active, engaged followers who are aligned with my work and authentically support it. A rising tide lifts all boats!
Advice Requests: For marketing, strategy, and other business advice, I offer consulting.
For any of the above, please email me at [email protected].
