How to build your brand by being you 🐣


I’ve been making multiple 6-figure profits by creating content online for more than three years.

Just like most creators, I didn’t build my audience or business by following a genius master plan.

It happened step by step. I even like to call them baby steps. 🐣

By creating content online, I built a brand.

Again - not on purpose.

If you publish something on the internet, you build a brand - even if you don't want to.

In fact, you also have a brand if you don't ever publish anything. Your brand is what people think about you.

And if you want to make money by sharing your ideas, experiences, or expertise online, your brand matters.

The good news is you make the rules.

If I had to start all over, I'd ignore traditional branding advice and focus on these strategies👇

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...
