The Woman Who Built a Business With Zero Instagram, Facebook… or Even a Bio

August 27, 20252 min read

Have you ever meet someone and think, “Wait—how did you pull that off?”

That was me when I met Claudia.

We were speaking at the same summit, ended up in a breakout room, and started chatting. I asked her where people could find her online so I could link her socials—and she casually said, “Oh, I’m not on social.”

Wait, what?

No Instagram. No Facebook. No content calendar. No showing up every day in Stories.

Instead, Claudia built an entire business—and a full-time income—using just Substack. From zero audience to over 7,500 subscribers in less than a year. Without playing the algorithm game. Without trying to be everywhere.

She focused on one thing: her gift for writing.

“I’m not a video person. I’m not into selfies or showing every part of my life. I just wanted to write. And Substack let me do that.”

And here’s what I loved most: She didn’t just post and hope. She built community. She showed up as herself. She used her voice, and her voice alone, to create connection and income.

If you’re:

  • Tired of being told you have to show up on Instagram to grow

  • Someone who’s better with words than with video

  • Craving a simpler, more human way to build visibility

…you need to watch this.
