Your End-Of-Year Checklist ✅✅✅


Hey Reader,

As we get closer to the end of the year, my favorite thing to do is to declutter and get ready for the new year.

I delete all unnecessary tasks, so I can focus on what truly matters in the new year to grow my audience and income.

The good news is that I prepared a few resources that'll help you do the same, so you're ready to absolutely crush your goals in 2025:

✅ Study the Online Writing Trends for 2025

I recently published an in-depth report about 7 trends that will shape the online writing world in 2025.

Give it a read, share your thoughts in the comments, and make sure you save the piece, so you can easily refer back to it throughout the next year when you need some clarity and direction.


✅ Schedule a “Yearly Review” Session

At the end of each year, I take a few hours to review the past 12 months, including my experiences, wins, and mistakes.

You can access my yearly review process here >>>

You don't need to do this right away, but make sure you schedule some time in your calendar, so you get it done before January 1st! 🥂


✅ Reply to This Question

Last but not least, I want you to reflect on a simple question..

What's *one* goal you'd like to achieve in 2025 that would have a positive impact on your entire life?

Take a moment to think about this, Reader..

What's one thing that could have a significant impact on your life?

✨ Maybe it's getting rid of a toxic relationship or re-connecting with someone you haven't talked to in a long time?

✨ Maybe it's losing weight, so you have more energy in your daily life?

✨ Or maybe.. you FINALLY want to start to write online (or grow your audience,) so you can make money on your own terms?!

Whatever your *one thing* is, I'm sure it's worth fighting for!

And if you want to go the extra mile, hit "reply" and tell me what your goal is!

I'd love to read your answer. 🧡

Big love from my screen to yours,
Sinem

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...
