If you’ve ever wondered whether Substack can work in your language, in your niche, or for your level of experience, this is for you.
In this replay of a recent Substack live, I sat down with one of our coaching clients, Raquel Devillé, to talk about her journey from zero to 2,200+ subscribers in just a few months, writing entirely in French.
Raquel is a somatic therapist specializing in trauma, stress, and neurodiversity, and the founder of the Substack publication Ce n'est pas dans ma tête.
In this live stream, you’ll discover:
The pros and cons of writing on Substack in a non-English language
Why Raquel chose to write in French, and what advice she has for other Substackers who want to write in a language other than English
The most effective Substack growth strategies that helped her get to 2,000+ subscribers
Why getting support accelerated her growth, and what made her decide not to figure it all out alone
Raquel’s story is a great reminder that you don’t have to write in English, need a perfect setup, or wait until you feel ready to start building something real on Substack.
She shows that when you decide to commit, get support, and stay consistent, you will reap the rewards from it.
Raquel started to take Substack seriously at the end of last year.
Within the first few months of 2026, she already crossed 1,000+ subscribers (and a few dozen paid subscribers).
When we fast-forward to today, Raquel is already at 2,200+ subscribers - and she’s leveraging Substack to build her online business.
