Here’s an Honest Review by a Digital Coach
Why I Decided to Enroll
Lessons on frameworks, authority, and why affordable courses can still deliver premium value
The digital education market is crowded. We are constantly invited to invest in courses through various channels.
These include social media ads and creator newsletters. The courses often cost anywhere between $300 – $3000, and sometimes even more.
As a digital coach and lifelong learner, I’ve always been selective about where I invest my time and money.
When I saw @myildiz Dr. Mehmet Yildiz announce the From Zero to Substack Hero Advanced Levels 4–6 Bundle, I realized this was not just another course launch. It was something noteworthy.
I had already read his book Substack Mastery and experienced his commitment to empowering writers and professionals. The chance to learn through this advanced-level bundle—at an inaugural beta discount—was a decision I made quickly.
First Impressions
I was among the first few learners on Udemy to enroll. The early reviews reflected the same excitement I felt—students rated the course highly and appreciated its depth.
The production was handled by Aiden , an Australian media expert, who added professional polish. Though the videos were not directly by Dr. Mehmet himself, the frameworks clearly carried his influence and insights from years of building a 250,000+ subscriber base on Substack.
What Makes This Bundle Stand Out
This is not a beginner’s course. It is designed for those ready to take Substack growth seriously.
Here are three things that struck me most:
- Deep frameworks: Beyond motivational content, the course provides systems that you can actually apply.
- Strategic insights: For creators aiming to scale—not just experiment.
- Accessibility: Knowledge that’s usually hidden behind $300–$3000 programs, offered at a fraction of the price.
Lessons That Shifted My Thinking
A few concepts that really stayed with me:
- The importance of leadership on Substack rather than just publishing.
- How to borrow authority to accelerate growth.
- Rethinking Substack not as a feeder to my main website (drashishjuneja.com), but as a powerful engine in its own right.
These are frameworks I can directly apply in my own coaching practice and in guiding my students.
Why Affordability Matters
The digital education space often equates premium with expensive. But this bundle challenges that assumption. By making advanced levels available at an accessible price, the Substack Hero team demonstrates a belief I share deeply:
Education should empower, not exclude.
Alignment With My Own Journey
As someone with a PhD in Economics who transitioned into digital coaching, I’ve seen how structured frameworks transform growth. I often tell my clients that slowing down to build systems creates long-term speed.
Dr. Mehmet’s approach to this course mirrors that philosophy—prioritizing quality and refinement over rushing to market.
I have read the book by Dr Mehmet Yildiz, “Substack Mastery,” but when I came to know about the course by Dr. Mehmet through his post

I immediately jumped in. As far as I remember, I was the 3rd student on Udemy to enroll. As on date 12 students have already enrolled with 5-star ratings.
I never want to miss an opportunity that is much more of an ROI (Return on Investment).
At an inaugural discount, it looked like a real deal; plus, on Udemy in India, there was a discount running. I am not just a digital coach but a lifelong learner.
I know Dr Mehmet Yildiz has 250,000 subscribers on Substack, and this was the best opportunity to learn from him directly. I wish I had that many subscribers on Substack.
Even though the course is not a direct video by Dr Mehmet Yildiz, Aiden Aiden (Owner of Illumination Gaming), a media expert and filmmaker in Australia, has done the video and voice-overs in many places.
The course is lengthy but promising. I am glad to get access to the beta discount of 85% and the team will keep updating the course with feedback from the students on Udemy and Substack.
Final Verdict
The Advanced Levels 4–6 Bundle is not just another online course. It represents:
- Thoughtful creation over quick hacks
- Accessible delivery instead of intimidating pricing
- Learner-first design that focuses on real application
If you’re a writer seeking to professionalize your Substack or a creator ready to move from surface-level tactics to structured strategies, this is worth serious consideration.
I invite you to go ahead and take the leap because, just like the Substack Hero team, I believe the right frameworks + the right community can accelerate your digital journey on Substack. You can also join the Substack Mastery Boost program and the Substack Mastery.com free resources.
