Be My Guest
Welcome to Ink and Influence, a Substack publication dedicated to helping authors, thought leaders, podcasters, and other content creators succeed in their creative endeavors. We believe that your writing has the power to change the world.
About Us
Our mission is to help you unlock your potential as an author and thought leader and build a brand that inspires and influences others. We're always on the lookout for fresh perspectives, ideas, and stories to share with our community of aspiring and established writers.
About You
If you're an author, podcaster, or Substack owner who would like to contribute to our publication, we'd love to hear from you. We're looking for insightful, informative, and engaging guest posts that can help our readers grow their skills, expand their audiences, and achieve their goals.
Not a Substack writer yet? That’s easily fixed.
Our Offer
Whether you have a personal story to tell, a practical tip to share, or an opinion to express, we welcome all kinds of content that can inspire, inform, or entertain our readers. We're particularly interested in topics related to writing, publishing, marketing, self-improvement, creativity, and entrepreneurship.
In addition to guest posts, we also host a podcast called Mentors Coaching, where we interview successful authors, podcasters, and entrepreneurs who can offer valuable insights and advice to our listeners. If you have a compelling story or expertise to share, we'd love to feature you on our podcast and share your message with our audience.
Our Audience
Our primary audience are second-career coaches who want to build a movement around their coaching practice. Authoring a book and building an online platform are part of that process, and the areas we focus on serving them in. They are predominately female (around 60-40% split), aged 35-55, often with adult children. But what really unites them is their love of planet and people, their ecological values combined with an enterprising spirit.
We also have a secondary audience of younger (35-45) males, who tend to be software or platform owners, providers, or developers, who are speakers or aspiring speakers. Their audience are often coaches or small business owners served by their software offerings.
