5 Helpful Lessons I Learned While Growing My Newsletter
If you’re not happy as a creator, you’re doing something wrong!
This past summer, I switched gears.
I closed the doors on two of my digital products, abandoned đť•Ź as a traffic source, and killed my old newsletter.
The results were predictable:
My income plummeted and my audience growth flatlined.
I felt burnt out, extremely frustrated, and filled with anxiety over the thought that I would never break away from the freelancing grind.
I’m married with three kids. I don’t have a lot of time to invest. Everywhere I look, it seems like time is what you need if you want to build a successful business online these days.
As summer came to a close, I was on the verge of giving up completely.
I felt dejected and lost. For about 10 minutes.
Then I told myself:
“This can’t be that hard!
I’m working with clients who are building businesses right in front of my face”
I took a deep breath, said “fuck it” and ignored all the bullshit that didn’t matter.
