How to make (more) money through your writing
|
Hey Reader, Are you aiming to make more money through your writing in 2025? Maybe it's the first year you're giving online writing a shot at all? Either way, I've got something for you: My amazing co-founder Jari has written an incredibly useful guide that'll help you go from struggling to making a full-time income through your work (while ultimately working less than 25 hours/week!) >> The full guide is available for our members on Substack. Here's the 5-step process in a nutshell:
Action Point: Write down three challenges you’ve faced and successfully solved. Next, think about which one aligns best with the people you want to reach. This is the foundation of your writing business.
Action Point: Choose one writing platform (we're betting on Substack this year) and commit to it for at least six months. Avoid the temptation to spread yourself thin across multiple platforms.
Action Point: Start your email list today. Even if you have zero subscribers, focus on creating high-quality content that solves the problem you identified in Step #1.
Action Point: Set up your first (or next) paid offer. Think about how you can package your expertise into a product or service that solves your audience’s problem.
Action Point: Write down your top priorities for the next six months. Keep them visible and use them as a filter for any new opportunities that come your way. If you join our paid plan on Substack today, you'll not only get access to the full deep dive but you'll also be invited to our first live Workshop of the year happening on Monday: We host these hands-on workshops to remove any roadblocks and answer all your questions, so you can leverage the massive growth opportunity on Substack right now. Join us today to participate LIVE on Monday (or get access to the full replay next Sunday). |

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...
