A focused Substack report for creators who want to grow with clarity, not guesswork.

 

Strategic insight, grounded in your actual data.

You’ve been showing up on Substack — publishing consistently, attracting new readers, maybe even converting a few paid subscribers.

But questions linger beneath the surface:

  • What’s actually prompting someone to upgrade from free to paid?

  • Which referral sources are delivering real engagement — not just clicks?

  • Are you building long-term trust, or just attracting short-term attention?

The Quiet Substack Signal Scan helps you decode what’s working and what’s ready to evolve — with a sharp, personalized analysis of your Substack data.

 

Built by a publishing strategist — not an algorithm

With nearly two decades of experience across print and digital publishing, editorial strategy, and marketing analytics, I’ve worked at the intersection of storytelling and audience behavior.

This scan isn’t auto-generated or templated. It’s a hands-on review, informed by context, nuance and strategic thinking — so you’re not just handed numbers, but meaning.

What you’ll receive

A clear, multi-page report that surfaces key signals in your Substack publication — and shows you where to focus next.

📌 Reader Snapshot

High-level insights into referral sources, upgrade behavior, and what your data reveals about reader loyalty and movement — with human-first interpretation, not just metrics.

👁 First Impressions Audit

An external perspective on how your Substack is landing with new readers — the cues you're sending, and where subtle shifts might deepen trust or conversion.
