Book Review and Inspiration
A Hands-On Book by Dr. Yildiz Introduced Me to Substack, Transformed My Progress, and Introduced me to 80+ Leading Newsletters from the Substack Mastery Community
I love reading books. The Substack Mastery book was special to me as it helped me achieve my goals as a freelance writer on Substack which is a platform I had no idea of it before. After finishing the book I left a review on Goodreads with joy. I know follow and am subscribed to Content Strategy, Development, & Marketing Insights as a founding member.
Here is what I said in a five star review:
“As a fortunate protege of Dr Mehmet Yildiz on Medium.com and Substack.com I had a chance to be a beta reader for the Substack Mastery book. It helped me start Substack quickly and enabled me to gain many subscribers. I shared my gratitude in an article on Medium for the author. I believe anyone who is serious about creating business on Substack.com must read this book. It can save time as it did to me. I am now confident in building my audience and interacting with them joyfully all thanks to the insights in this exceptionally well crafted and comprehensive book. Here is my first month report as a freelance writer on Substack.com: https://medium.com/p/d015c77e4542″
I also ordered the book from Amazon to get the updates after the review of beta readers as the author shared it with thousands of readers online on multiple platforms for free.
When I checked my dashboard, every metric was green — a sight that filled me with joy and renewed hope as I continue to find my voice on this new platform. I owe much of this success to Dr. Yildiz’s Substack Mastery book. Here’s a glimpse of my dashboard today enhancing my joy in my late years.

In addition I am pleased that 24 Substack newsletters recommend mine.
