Hey Reader,

here comes a harsh truth most creators and entrepreneurs rarely talk about:

If you're new to..

• writing on the internet
  ​
• building your audience
  ​
• or growing your online business, you can't rely on the strategies used by the top 1%.

Why?

Because those who already have large audiences and profitable businesses can use strategies that you can't use.

I talked about this extensively during a recent live conversation and wish more people would actually share the truth behind those unfair advantages that experienced writers, creators, and entrepreneurs have.

When I started to publish my work on Substack this summer, I started with zero followers.

But I didn't really start at zero because I had:

• 💬 a large network of writers who were willing to support me by engaging with my content and answering my questions.
  ​
• 📥 an email list with over 20k subscribers that I could ask to follow me.
  ​
• 🎉 thousands of customers who quickly became our paid subscribers, which helped us become a bestselling publication within 60 days.
  ​

Yes, I started on a new platform, but everything I do builds up on what I've done over the last 7 years, such as:

• growing my email list
  ​
• publishing hundreds of pieces on Medium
  ​
• building great products and having happy clients

I've built credibility, a reputation, and a large audience that trusts me.

So, no matter where I go or what I try, I'm not really starting from scratch ever again.

Here's what this means for you, Reader: If you're at the beginning of your journey as a writer, creator, or entrepreneur, you're at the hardest stage you'll ever be in.

You need to take the first scary steps, put your work out there, and be proud of it. Even if you're not 100% sure whether you're doing the right thing.

Once you get started and build consistency, it only becomes easier.

I'm about to invite you for a special experience where my team and I will take you by the hand and help you start writing on the internet within a week.

It's the perfect starting point if you've been thinking about writing for a long time but always find yourself procrastinating instead of taking action.

Please take a moment and let me know what stage you're currently in so I know whether this could be interesting for you.👇

And don't forget - you're only starting at zero once.

Big love from my screen to yours,
Sinem
