Ready to dive in?
Hey! I'm Lidiya
I'm a writer, blogger, course creator and the founder of Let’s Reach Success, where I help bloggers build a business that provides freedom.
I've been named one of the top 10 course creators and experts to watch in 2021 by Yahoo! Finance, been featured on TIME magazine, Thrive Global, Disrupt Magazine, and more.
I'm now actively building on Substack, and running The 2-Hour Blogger.
Why work with me?
I started blogging in 2013 with a simple hobby blog about personal growth.
I had no audience, no business plan, and no idea where it would lead. I just knew I loved writing, sharing ideas, and building something online.
Over the years, I turned content into a full-time business through blogging, SEO, email marketing, digital products, and brand partnerships.
My small business also allowed me to be my own boss, leave my home country (Bulgaria) and move to my destination of choice (the Netherlands), to wake up whenever I want to, have creative freedom, takes days off when I want, work 2-3 hours a day, and now that I'm a mom - be home with my baby while doing my work when I have the time for it.
Now I’m bringing my experience to Substack.
I started my Substack journey with the same curiosity I had when I first started blogging: testing strategies, experimenting with content, and figuring out what actually helps writers grow.
In less than 4 months, I grew my publication to 600 subscribers (2 paid), and landed my first paid brand partnership while I had just around 200 free subscribers.
But the biggest lesson wasn’t the numbers.
It was understanding what makes a Substack stand out: clear positioning, strong content, a recognizable voice, community building, discoverability, and a strategy behind every piece of content.
I’m not just sharing theory. I’m actively building on Substack, testing ideas, analyzing what works, and applying more than a decade of experience in content creation and online business.
The Substack Growth Audit combines everything I’ve learned from building blogs, growing audiences, creating products, and monetizing content - so you can get a clear outside perspective on your publication and know exactly what to focus on next.
All sales are final.
Because I personally go through your Substack and invest hours to review each element, there’s NO REFUND POLICY.
I only want to work with people who are serious about growing their publication, can follow instructions and are NOT looking for a way out before they even begin.
Once you receive the PDF file, you get lifetime access to it. This isn’t an online program that you can lose access to. This is work done specially for you and your writing business, using my professional experience of having been in the blogging industry for 10 years now, what I'm learning on Substack by testing things daily for months now, and by studying the publications of many big and small creators.
If you just want to buy to see what’s inside the Substack Growth Audit, don’t bother. This isn’t for you. But if you’re committed to growing your publication and ready to dive into the PDF once you receive it, then this is for you.
With that being said, all sales are final. That’s because this offer is so exclusive and the PDF you’ll receive contains such powerful information, that once seen/used, it can’t be unseen/unused (meaning, you will have received far more than what you paid for).
FAQs
What format is the content delivered in?
You'll receive a PDF file with all the information.
What happens once I purchase?
You'll get an email from me with the next steps.
How long does it take to receive my audit?
Because every audit is personally reviewed and customized, delivery time depends on the current number of audit requests.
You can expect to receive your completed audit within 2–3 weeks after purchase (or after claiming it with your annual paid subscription for The 2-Hour Blogger. Just message me on Substack).
Is this an automated report?
No.
Every audit is personally reviewed by me based on your specific Substack, content, goals, and opportunities I see.
You won’t receive a generic checklist that could apply to anyone.
Do I need to have a paid Substack?
No.
The audit is for both free and paid publications.
Whether you’re focused on growing your audience, improving your content, or building a monetization strategy, I’ll tailor the recommendations based on where you are right now.
How many subscribers do I need?
There’s no minimum subscriber count.
This audit can be helpful whether you have your first 50 subscribers or you’re already growing a larger audience.
The important thing is that you’re serious about building your publication.
Will you review my paid subscription strategy?
Yes.
The audit includes a monetization review where I’ll look at your current setup, paid subscriber strategy, offers, and potential income opportunities.
What if I'm a fiction writer?
In that case, the audit isn't really for you.
That's because I myself am a non-fiction writer and have experience only with that kind of content. It's a whole different business model, and I only work with what I know.
This audit is for writers who teach something with their content and want to monetize it.
Can I ask questions after receiving my audit?
Yes.
You can always email me or message me on Substack.
How do I get the audit for free with an annual paid subscription?
To receive the Substack Growth Audit as a bonus, simply become an annual paid subscriber.
After upgrading, just message me on Substack to claim it.
Your annual membership includes the full personalized audit at no extra cost.
Do you offer refunds?
No.
Because this is a personalized service where I spend time reviewing your publication and creating recommendations specifically for you, all sales are final.
