3 types of stories that WORK


Hey Reader,

Did you ever wonder why some writers and creators manage to reach millions of readers while others hear.. crickets?! 🦗

Well, there are a couple of reasons, but here's the one with the biggest impact: Great writing is great storytelling.

As humans, we thrive on stories.

Even if we want to learn something, stories help us capture the essence much better than raw, factual information.

So, if you've been wondering about what you could do differently to get more views on your content and grow your audience, the answer is to tell more stories!

Well, it'd be rude of me to tell you how important stories are without actually helping you write better ones, right?!

That's why I recently published an in-depth piece with dozens of examples that'll help you become a better storyteller. 👇

Grow your audience on Substack next year

Earlier this year, I (re)joined Substack and started to republish my existing work.

With hundreds of long-form articles under my belt and a writing business that helps writers (very meta, I know), it seemed to be the next logical step in our journey.

After only a few weeks, it was clear we had made the right choice, and 60 days later, we already received our Bestseller badges.

It's been an exciting and incredibly rewarding journey so far, and I can't wait to further leverage the platform in 2025 and help our clients do the same.

We're hosting the final live Roundtable of this year on Monday and will dive into how you can build smart systems to grow on Substack.

We'll dive into three areas in particular:

  • Substack Notes
  • Your Publication
  • Monetization

Our paid subscribers can join the session live and will get access to the full replay as well.

Upgrade to our paid tier now and join us live on Monday so you're ready to absolutely crush it on Substack in the new year. 🧡


Big love from my screen to yours,
Sinem

PS. Wanna know more about why we'll invest more of our resources into Substack in 2025?

Hey Reader, I see it all the time: Creators who have just started to publish their work but are already comparing themselves to people who are 100 steps ahead. And I get it. It’s easy to look at viral posts by someone who’s been writing online for years and wonder why your content isn’t getting the same traction. But let me zoom out and give you some perspective here: I've been writing online since 2018. This has been my "full-time job" since 2020. I’ve spent thousands of hours refining my...

Hey Reader, I'm writing this email full of fresh energy because we've been enjoying a lot of sunshine here in Vienna over the past week. It already feels like spring - perfect for hikes, long walks, and slow moments: But there's one more thing I like to do when spring is around the corner.. I repot my plants! So I spent Sunday morning giving many of my babies new soil, a larger pot, and a cleansing shower. I don't know much about plants, but I love taking care of them to make sure they have...
