I don't know when we decided our Substack publications had to be perfect before we could call them successful.
No typos, ever... Absolutely no publishing less than once a week... And under NO circumstances should we hit send without a professionally designed header image.
I mean, I love a beautifully formatted newsletter with custom illustrations—don't get me wrong...
...but sometimes my own Substack drafts folder is packed with half-finished ideas, some posts go out with formatting I fix later, and there are weeks when life happens and I miss my publishing schedule completely.
AND THAT'S OKAY.
The Content Shine Summit is built with real creators in mind—
It's not a competition to see who has the most subscribers...
...or a test of who can stick to the most rigorous publishing schedule...
...or a showcase of only the most polished creatives.
What does this mean for YOU?
You can join us exactly as you are—whether you have 15 subscribers or 15,000, whether you publish weekly or "when inspiration strikes."
Consider this your official free pass to:
...create content that connects with real humans without obsessing over algorithms.
...publish what lights you up instead of what you "should" be writing
...build genuine relationships with your readers instead of chasing vanity metrics.
If there's one thing I say over and over again—I know you've heard it before—it's that the best content strategy is the one you can actually maintain without burning out.
The Content Shine Summit will help you feel more confident doing just that.
I hope you’ll join us.
xx, Christin
