April already?! 🐣
|
Hey Reader, Can you believe the first three months of the year are already over?! I'm spending the Easter break with friends & family but I did my quarterly reflection before heading off, and boy, a lot has happened over those past three months!
It's been a busy quarter, to say the least, but it's also been incredibly fun to challenge myself in new ways. I'm always amazed by how far you can come in three months if you're dedicated and focused. It's weird: When you don't know where you're going, three months pass by and you don't even remember how you spent your time. But when you have clear goals, you can make incredible progress. My point is to get you excited about what you can do over the next three months of 2024, Reader. During my writing/creator career, a lot has changed within 3-month sprints. 🗓️ Take my earnings as an example - here are two screenshots from my first year as a full-time creator and how my earnings have exploded within three months: Within 3 months, my earnings from Medium's Partner Program went from a few hundred dollars to mid 4-figures. After launching my signature program Medium Writing Academy in June, it took me 3 months to go from a few hundred dollars to making over $6,000 in a single month. 💸 I'm sharing this to encourage you to take action. You don't have to wait for the next new year to make a change. Take action now so you can be in a different place three months from now. 🥰 🧑💻 50 Quick Lessons for Online WritersI recently created a little ebook with 50 quick tips to help you grow your audience & income as a digital writer.

Hey Reader, When I started to publish on Substack this summer, I received dozens of emails with questions like: Why did you start to write on Substack? Are you leaving Medium? Is Substack better than Medium? How did you grow your audience on Substack so quickly?! The short answer is that Substack is an addition to my existing channels like Medium and Convertkit. I'm not replacing those. And to be fair, Substack has proven to be an excellent addition with lots of benefits that I don't have on...
Hey Reader, Over the last 4 years, I've worked with thousands of writers, and one question I see beginners share all the time is this: What should I even write about?! There are many ways to decide what to write about, but I'll share a simple one today: Write what you care about. One of the wonderful writers I got to work with this year is Melon Dash, an adult swimming instructor. I was lucky to meet Melon in person back in June and have a deep conversation about her work and what writing...
It's sad story time, Reader.. my friend canceled on me last Friday, and I was too lazy to make new plans. My fiancé Philip has been on a long walk (his newest obsession), so I was alone at home. And guess what a writer with no plans does on a Friday evening?! I wrote newsletters! My ✨creative juices✨ were flowing and I wrote three newsletters for you. Sent one on Friday. One is scheduled for later this week. And the third was supposed to be sent.. today. Except, it's gone. When I opened...
