Ready for 2025?!


Hey Reader,

Quick question: Did you already set your (writing) goals for the year?!

If you did, head over to our Substack chat and share them with us so we can cheer on you! 😍

If you haven't set your 2025 goals yet, I have good news: We released a goal-setting workshop (specifically for writers) that you can access for FREE right now.


If the first few days of the year haven't been great for you (or if you caught a cold just like me), treat today as a "second start" of the year!

It's Monday, after all - that's a good reason to set your goals, make plans, and take action, right?!

You deserve to make 2025 an amazing year, my friend. 🧡

But you have to show up for yourself because there's nobody else who will do the work for you.

Set your goals now, and let's get to work. 💪


Big love from my screen to yours,
Sinem

And we kept facing the same unsatisfying answer: There's no perfect solution. The problem we faced was how to best combine Substack with the tools and platforms we've already been using for years. Ever since we joined the platform, we wanted Substack to...

Hey Reader, I write hundreds of newsletters per year, but this one is particularly close to my heart. The start of a new year is a special time for most people, but for me, it's also a reminder of how I took the leap to build my writing business. Five years ago, I decided to go all-in on my writing. I set a simple New Year's Resolution to write every day. And I actually did it. Three months later, my work was read by close to a million people, and I was hitting 5 figures in earnings per...
