How to access all modules of the From Zero to Substack Hero course and other premium content via $5 monthly creation
Today, Aiden has completed 33 modules of our Substack Mastery training course and will add several more this weekend. He named the course From Zero to Substack Hero. He designed the course using the audio versions of my two books, Substack Mastery and A Powerful Toolkit for Advanced Substack Newsletter Mastery. Both books were published as digital, paperback, and audio and distributed widely, and they are now sold by many bookstores globally.
As a media expert and educator, Aiden optimized the videos with a compelling narrative, humor, engagement, and solid curriculum for Udemy, and they passed the quality control, published, and got over 4.6-star reviews. So far, he published two levels, and he will continue to publish more. Each course is sold for $29.99. There will be around 10 levels, which will cost around $300 on Udemy. You can find them on Udemy via the following links:
To make it affordable for our community, he agreed to offer all video modules through my Content Marketing Strategy Insights publication. This means that with a basic $5 monthly subscription, you can have unlimited access to his training course of around 60 modules, including digital and audio versions of my two Substack books, my premium content for content marketing strategy for freelance writers, and the benefits of Tier 2 for Substack Mastery Boost program.
I see this as a mega deal because the cheapest Substack course is around $300 on the market, and some 2-day weekend courses with less content are around $1000. I teach a 5 day face-to-face course for $3000 per student in private training organizations in Australia. I give these examples because by subscribing to the Content Marketing Strategy Insights publication for $5 monthly or $50 annually, you can save significant investment while staying updated with our teamwork and gaining the support of our vast network.
In addition, I built the ILLUMINATION Health & Wellness Network and explained its purpose in a recent article here.
Why I Created a Health and Wellness Network on Substack & How I Will Support It
Welcome to the new ILLUMINATION Health and Wellness network for healthcare professionals, business people, and health…medium.com
Those who join this new network by the end of February 2025 will have a complementary paid membership to Content Marketing Strategy Insights for 12 months, which will double the value of your investment. So, instead of $50 annually, you will be a paid member of two large networks for $25.
I can’t imagine more affordable educational and marketing support for freelance writers in any part of the world. Frankly, if you can find a better offering and share it with me, I will give you one year of paid membership to all my Substack publications for FREE.
I am 100% confident about the value I offer. I am proud to provide our community with the most affordable and high-quality service by covering only the most basic costs, such as Aiden’s hundreds of hours of research and video recording efforts. Creating and editing these videos is not an easy job. I personally cannot do it myself. I delegate all my professional video editing to professionals and pay $50 per hour.
All my services and publications, including Slack workspaces, have been FREE to the community, like those of 179 volunteer editors for the last six years. And I will continue to make my publishing services on Medium publications free for all authentic writers. It is my commitment to support every writer to find their voice with community support. Their achievements and gratitude mean more than money to me.
I also started uploading all interviews I conducted to my Substack publications. I will make participants guest authors and offer crossposting valuable contributions of my collaborators to help them grow their audience.
Today, I interviewed our bright star, Sinem Günel, one of my favourite writers and digital entrepreneurs, who is now shining and illuminating the Substack community after her seven years of dedicated service to Medium. Here is the link to the interview, which I will upload to Substack soon. Similar to Sinem, I also interviewed two best-selling Substack writers, Tim Denning and Veronica Llorca-Smith. You can find more interviews from this collection and connect with those writers.
Many established writers like them stopped their focus on Medium and directed to Substack reaping benefits. I interviewed over 100 remarkable writers and will share them all FREE on my Content Marketing Strategy Insights or the ILLUMINATION Health & Wellness Network to inform and inspire you. Thank you for subscribing and being part of my vast network.
I will do my best to support you in this exciting journey. You are welcome to be a free subscriber to get my complementary services and mentorship. One of our free services is Friends of ILLUMINATION, which is open to all authentic writers. You can contact me via this form on my website. And you are welcome to be a guest blogger on my website for free.

My New Book Project
In 2024, I wrote four books despite my busy schedule and life challenges. With this inspiration, in 2025, I am writing four new books. Upon request by thousands of subscribers, one of them is titled Smart Email Marketing & Content Integration: A Strategic and Practical Guide for Freelancers and Startups, which is available for pre-order now and will be published in digital, paperback, and audio formats in April 2025. I will introduce it in another newsletter soon.
This book will also be part of my Content Marketing Strategy Insights publication for my subscribers on Substack. I will no longer share my full book chapters on Medium but will share summaries for my loyal readers. If you are interested in beta reading, please leave a comment on this story, and I will add you to my review list.
To give you an idea of the presentation and scope of Aiden’s Substack training, here is a sample video Aiden published on the ILLUMINATION Substack Mastery YouTube channel.
