The best time to start was yesterday. The second best time is right now!

This blueprint shows how to build a real solo creator business on a $0 stack using four free platforms that work like a flywheel: Substack → Medium → Gumroad → one social channel.

No funnels. No upgrades. A simple system that compounds. Field-tested from zero to 200 subscribers and the first $1,000 in sales.

You get a 90-minute setup, a day-by-day first 30 days, a one-hour workday, and a $9 product playbook so you can ship fast without burning out. It cuts noise, removes tool sprawl, and focuses you on useful work that leads to subscribers and sales. Simple. Repeatable. Human.

Built for beginners and restarters who want results without guru tactics. It’s straight operations, plain language, and steps you can execute today.
