I think the main thing most people will probably be focussing on is graphics, banners and custom buttons. Those sort of strong visual things, and strong branding across your content, are what can really make a difference these days... 😎
Yup, you're right. Branding and face-to-face are my two most popular requests. People really want to TALK to someone about strategy, branding, and functionality.
We are using Substack as a membership tier in our cooperative. The Substack subscription is the entry-level tier. We will have additional paid membership benefits using Comradery (https://comradery.co/p/howcomraderyworks) instead of Patreon. The top tier is for worker-owners. Probably not exactly what you could do but a tier structure might be helpful for you.
My response was for @Chris J Franklin looking for ideas on how to grow a business. When hiring writers, however, I always pay per deliverable because the time involved is often very different. My son can write 5,000 words of excellent copy a day. I am not so gifted.
This is brilliant Kristi! Saw the headline, started reading before realising it was you. Checked the author. Chuckled out loud. Of course it was you! Who else would come up with such a great idea!
Ha! We’re still on a ship with butler service! I’d love a VIP Substack butler for sure! After the pesos were not the method of payment, 😂 I upgraded!! A very generous offer and I’m sure you will get takers. Let us know how many paid subscribers you get during the time. Good luck!! 🍀
Kristi you are SRSLY the koolest. What a fabulous idea!!!
Once, when we were on a cruise, we got a butler with our room (I’m def gonna talk about this on the travel blog idea you’ve got me thinking about) and WOW it’s amazing when someone has nothing but you’re best interest at heart for a dedicated amount of time. 💯👏
My whole perspective on Butlers changed after having been provided with a few over the years. I actually have a post coming up about my Butlers.
And thanks! I kind of love this idea too! I actually got it from another VA website where she was offering VIP days to her clients, but she was actually charging premium rates for it.
You got my attention (and my subscription), Kristi. Of all the ones offering Substack help, you have been one of the most personable (meaning not just a "classroom" type of setting, if that makes sense). Much appreciated.
This is a super cool idea! Now I’m wondering what a VIP day could look like in my (currently hardly existing) business.
I bet if you put some thought into it you could come up with a laundry list!

That sounds interesting Doug. Not sure that would be a fit for me since Substackers hire me hourly to work for them.
But I'll go check that link just out of curiosity.

Sorry! I missed the comment thread when i saw the notification for your response 😁

Haha, Jan thanks! I am nobody if I can't make someone giggle a little!
Haha! 'Substack Butler'! That's a really fun idea. Good luck with it... 😎
Thanks Chris!
Jeeves?

I appreciated seeing your upgrade Marylee! Have a wonderful rest of your vacation!
This is Brilliant, Kristi! I hope you make a mint!
Thanks Kati. I'm finding the connections more valuable than anything 😊
This is great. I may need to borrow this and try it with my audience.
What a great idea. 🥰 I could use a Substack Spa day.
Haha I could use any spa day!!
Nice 👌

This is awesome. Wish I had time now to sit here and read everything. Later, Gator. Til then, way to go, and thanks for the positivity!!
You're welcome!
LOVE this idea Kristi!!!
Thanks! I do too! Stole it from another VA that I follow 😊

Thanks Cork. I appreciate you saying that. Community is super important to me so I do my best to make it a friendly one!
Amazing!!
Congratulations to the winner 🎶
Such a fabulous opportunity.
I am definitely going to hire you soon!
I need the branding package :-)
That’s awesome Janet! I’ll be here whenever you’re ready. 😊
