For Substack Publishers Who Want To Understand What Their Data Reveals About Audience Relationships

Next cohort: December 1-5, 2025 | Registration closes November 27

Are you an established publisher working hard to nurture your audience, but…

  • You're making decisions based on borrowed strategies rather than what your data reveals about your readers

  • You're not sure if your pricing reflects the actual value exchange in your publication

  • You see numbers in your dashboard but don't know how to interpret what they mean about trust and commitment

  • You want strategic guidance that honors your creative voice — not generic optimization tactics

Hi, I'm Amanda Hinton

I've been working inside digital publishing and editorial roles for nearly 20 years. My clients include NYT bestselling authors and top-ranked Substack publications.

Earlier this year, one client ran a simple anniversary promotion using a messaging sequence we developed together. The result? 1,500+ paid upgrades in one month.

I created The Data Signal Cohort to help you use the real signals inside your publication to guide strategy, not guesswork.

What the Data Signal Cohort Includes

Custom Substack Data Scan: Analysis of your key publication metrics — email opens, post views, subscription splits, upgrade timing

90-Minute Live Group Kickoff Video Call | Monday, Dec 1 at 11 a.m. central | We'll review your scan results and interpret what they reveal about your audience relationships

5 Days of Asynchronous Voxer Support (Dec 1-5)

Throughout the week, we'll work through:

  • What your email-to-view ratio tells you about attention and trust

  • What your subscription split suggests about commitment

  • How to think about pricing as relationship exchange

  • What upgrade timing reveals about how trust develops

Small Group (6 - 8 publishers) | Learn alongside others at a similar stage

What To Expect

Step 1: Submit your data by November 27

Step 2: Receive your scan before December 1

Step 3: Join the 90-minute group kickoff call on December 1

Step 4: Daily Voxer discussion throughout the week

Step 5: Leave with clear next steps for 2026

This is a different approach to data

Most data analysis is transactional: do this to get that result.

What I offer is relational: here's what your numbers suggest about trust, attention, and commitment in your community — and how to work with that information in a way that honors your creative voice.

You won't leave with a cookie-cutter strategy. You'll leave knowing how to interpret your data through the lens of audience relationships.
