Hey Reader, here comes a harsh truth most creators and entrepreneurs rarely talk about: If you're new to..
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:
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:
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. |

Hey Reader, Last week, I shared my 2024 business review with you, and over the weekend, I got a bunch of replies related to one of the key lessons I shared. In the review, I mention that connections, collaborations, and community have been our key focus areas in 2024 (and will continue to be in 2025.) Over the past few years, I've collaborated with hundreds of creators in various ways: We cross-promoted content I interviewed many of them I got interviewed We've run affiliate collaborations...
Hey Reader, Is it just me, or are these final weeks of the year passing by a little too quickly?! 😅 I'm off to Spain to enjoy some well-deserved time off next week, and there's still SO MUCH to do before I board the plane: 🎁 Wrapping all the Christmas presents 💅 Doing my nails 📝 Writing my end-of-year business review Oh, wait - I already did that last one! >> I'm Pulling the Curtain: Everything We Did, Learned, and Regretted in 2024 This year has been full of unexpected turns and lessons for...
Hey Reader, I became a full-time writer in 2020 and have since written any kind of content you can think of: Personal stories Listicles Reports How-to guides I also worked as a freelance/ghostwriter and published dozens of pieces with and for my clients. And while I love the diversity of being a digital writer, there's a specific type of content I like to write most. It's case studies. I love to be in the trenches with my audience, try new things, run experiments, do research, and report back...
