The Coaching Corner Weekly Digest - May 6th (substack, unconferences and group coaching)

May 6th, 2025

New platform, same us

Coming to you live from Substack!

Yes, it’s official, we’re on Substack.

Same great content, from yours truly.

Since process and tooling is so paramount to the topic of building a coaching practice, I’m eager to share why we’re transitioning over from ConvertKit.

1. More streamlined - As a Substack and ConvertKit user, I’ve seen how the two platforms have evolved over the past two years. Substack has improved so much of their tooling and I feel confident going all in on the platform for the two newsletters¹ I write. ConvertKit is great for sales and marketing content but we’re not that here at Coaching Corner.

2. Better discovery - Substack is an ecosystem that’s ripe for better discovery and distribution. I’ve found Substack to be an incredible multiplier for reaching new readers and richer collaborations.

3. Cheaper - Coaching Corner is still scrappy and Substack offers a great free product. Plus, since we aren’t using fancy features, like sequencing or automations that ConvertKit offers, Substack is a clear winner.

One More Thing 👆

Healthcare for coaches was a popular session at this week’s Unconference in NY which is why Dan’s post about CrowdHealth is super timely:

“Technically CrowdHealth isn't health insurance since it's like some crowdfunded healthcare option but wanted to share it since I know a lot of solopreneurs using it and I appreciate how it's nearly 50-66% of the cost.” - Read more on slack
