You Can Ask Me 3 Questions and I’ll Answer Them Like You’re My Client
Free Access to My Mentorship Brain, You Ask. I Answer. No Fluff. Just Clarity. I Couldn’t Afford The Top Creator Mentorships So I Created The Space I Needed
Let me tell you the real story.
Not the one with glossy screenshots and impressive numbers.
The one that lives in between.
Where going viral didn’t translate to income.
And real income arrived quietly without applause or spotlight.
That was me.
And it changed everything about how I write, grow, and help.
I tried everything
I filled out every “top writer” mentorship form I could find.
Each one felt like a window into the life I wanted.
The forms said things like:
“Let’s 10x your writing business.”
“Custom strategy to grow your Substack.”
“Learn how to monetize your newsletter.”
It all sounded perfect.
Until I reached the bottom and saw the price.
$497.
$899.
$1,500.
I’d sit there staring, blinking, refreshing the tab like it might change.
Because I didn’t lack effort.
I lacked access.
The $54 I couldn’t spend
One day, I found a mentorship that felt... almost possible.
Two weeks of support for $54.
I had the money.
But I had just used that exact amount — for groceries, medicine, or a family bill. I can’t even remember which.
What I do remember is the feeling.
Shame.
Panic.
That helpless ache in your chest when you want to build something meaningful, but life won’t even let you begin.
So I closed the tab.
Opened Google.
Typed again: “How to grow on Substack without money.”
I tried to do it alone
I watched YouTube videos until my brain fogged over.
Downloaded free PDFs. Still didn’t know what to post.
Studied viral Notes. Tried to mimic them.
I DM’d creators I admired.
Most never replied.
Some sent me links to their $499 coaching sessions.
I cried that night.
Not because I was unwilling to work I was.
But because every door required money I didn’t have.
And I was out of options. Out of savings. Out of energy.
I wanted to support my husband.
I had a family to care for. A stomach to fill.
There was no room left for experimentation.
So I did what I had to do.
I kept going without help.
The year I went viral and made nothing
In 2024, one of my articles was featured as the most highlighted post on Medium.
Over 16,000 likes.
Hundreds of shares.
Dozens of comments.
You’d think I made thousands.
I earned about $100 total.
That moment broke something in me.
Because I finally understood:
Visibility doesn’t mean value.
Virality doesn’t mean freedom.
Applause doesn’t mean income.
I didn’t want to chase claps anymore.
I wanted to build something that worked.
So I started over on Substack
No audience.
No features.
No viral engine.
No Stripe account.
Just my words. And quiet consistency.
I wrote Notes that got no replies.
Launched offers that got no clicks.
Sent emails into silence.
And still, I kept going.
From a half-built room. With nothing but belief and a writing streak.
Then I launched my first product and made over $1,000 without a funnel
No sales page.
No timers.
No launch email sequence.
No fancy funnel.
But I had clarity.
I knew who I was writing for.
I posted consistently.
I used Notes to build trust like a human — not a pitch deck.
That product made over $1,000 in just a few days.
With no Stripe. No ads. No viral post.
Since then, I’ve sold 473+ digital products.
All without a “perfect” system.
Just trust, clarity, and the right offer.
Substack Notes became my business engine
Most people overlook Notes.
I didn’t.
I’ve written 5 to 10 Notes per day.
One Note brought in 64 new subscribers in 24 hours.
Some Notes brought in clients.
Most of my sales came from Notes — not newsletters.
Today:
I’ve grown to 1,158+ subscribers
Earned $4,000+ in product income
Signed multiple clients through Notes
Done this all without paid ads, cold outreach, or trending features
No hype. Just human words. Shared daily.
And I still remember that $54 moment
It never left me.
Because when you want to build something and you’re ready —
but the world keeps saying “pay first,”
it makes you feel like you’re already behind.
That’s why I help the people who DM me now.
Every week, I get at least 3 creators reaching out for help.
They say:
“I feel stuck.”
“Why isn’t my product selling?”
“I don’t know what to price this at.”
“I’ve tried everything, and nothing’s working.”
And every time I think of the moment I couldn’t afford $54.
So I answer.
With strategy. With care. With depth. For free.
Because no one should be priced out of clarity.
Ask me 3 questions I’ll answer like you’re already my mentee
You don’t need to pay.
You don’t need to have 1,000 followers.
You don’t need to “be further along.”
You just need a question.
I’ll answer up to three questions with the same energy, insight, and detail I give to paid clients.
No fluff.
No vague advice.
Just the next right steps.
Ask me about:
What product to build
How to write Notes that lead to sales
Pricing your offer
Launching without a list
Why your freebie or funnel isn’t converting
Substack growth without burnout
What you should focus on right now
What you’re doing right (and don’t even know it yet)
If you’re stuck I’ll help you get unstuck.
How to reach me:

This isn’t tied to a campaign or timeline.
This is my open door.
Ask when you’re ready.
You don’t need a funnel or feature to start earning
You need structure.
You need someone who actually replies.
You need real support.
That’s what this space is.
Not just a newsletter.
Not just Notes.
Not just product strategy.
Real answers. For real people. Building in real life.
If you’ve been carrying the weight of figuring this out alone —
you don’t have to anymore.
I’m here.
Ask me.

Great post Meena. I wondered if you could have a look at my profile and let me know if my offer is clear?
Also, you’ve inspired me, so I’m going to pay it forward and offer something similar to my own subscribers ☺️
It's great that you touch on the point of money. Sometimes when I spiral over money, I remember it's not the money but what it represents. We carry that weight internally, and it's nice to acknowledge these things. Thanks for all your insight.
