Growth-strategy conversation alone was worth the tier, honest advice about my actual audience instead of default funnel logic. Fantastic build end to end. Considered work throughout.

Built Build Notes to launch in 4 days and the store audience noticed. Paid conversions hit 5% on the first post. Rare to hire a seller who gets the tone right on the first pass.

Didn't send a to-do list, ranked what would move the needle versus what was cosmetic. Cut one tier from my subscribe flow and paid conversion recovered inside a week. Uncommon clarity. He's so good!!!

Traced a sender header conflict I never would have found on my own. First hour of Daud's audit was more useful than three months of my own troubleshooting. Precise and forensic.
About this gig
Getting a newsletter set up right is its own skill, and it shouldn't be the thing standing between you and hitting publish. If you've felt stuck, unsure whether it's set up properly, or just don't want to wrestle with the technical side, you're in exactly the right place.
I handle the part underneath the writing: clean setup, reliable deliverability, a design people enjoy reading, and a steady publishing rhythm. The system that quietly makes sure your work actually reaches your audience.
What I handle:
- Complete Substack account setup
- Subscriber list import and migration
- Branded newsletter email template
- Editable newsletter
- Logo, wordmark, and email header design
- Website theme customization
- About page
- Welcome page
- Publication structure, sections, and tags
- Automated welcome email
- Custom domain integration
- Subscriber onboarding system
- Paid subscription setup
- Podcast setup
- Referrals, and polls
- Post formatting and scheduling
- Ongoing post management
- Mobile and desktop layout optimization
- Post-launch support
You focus on what you love, the writing. I'll take care of everything else and keep it running smoothly. Tell me a little about your newsletter and where you'd like help.

FAQ
I already started my Substack. Can you fix it instead of starting over?
Yes, and most clients come to me exactly there. I audit what's built, fix what's broken, and finish the rest so nothing reads as unfinished to your readers.
Will I lose subscribers if I migrate from another platform?
No. I import and verify your list on the other side, so every subscriber transfers cleanly and keeps receiving your emails without interruption.
Can you connect my custom domain?
Yes. Custom domain and email setup is where most people get stuck. I handle the full configuration so your newsletter runs on your brand, not a generic address.
Substack limits how much you can design. Can you actually make mine look good?
That's the skill this gig is built on. I work within Substack's real constraints and still deliver a branded, readable layout that looks nothing like a default publication.
Can you set up paid subscriptions?
Yes. I configure Stripe, pricing tiers, and the paywall correctly so you can take payments from launch instead of troubleshooting it months later.
What does ongoing management actually include?
Formatting, scheduling, and publishing your posts on a consistent cadence, plus keeping the setup healthy. You write; the publishing rhythm stays steady even when you're busy.
Can you set up the growth features like referrals and recommendations?
Yes. Referrals, leaderboards, polls, and recommendations are configured so your existing readers help grow the list instead of growth depending only on new traffic.
I'm not technical at all. Is that a problem?
Not at all, that's who this is for. You give me your topic and goal, I handle every technical step, and you get a finished publication ready to publish.
Can you match my existing brand?
Yes. Send your colors, fonts, and logo and I'll build the template, header, and pages to match so everything reads as one brand.
What do you need from me to start, and how long does it take?
Your topic, goal, and brand assets. I confirm the timeline upfront based on scope, and the clock starts once you've sent your assets, so you always know what to expect.
