I Was Hoping for 100 Sign-Ups. 897 Showed Up

I showed up to teach digital products. I left with something way better

When you’re building something online, it’s dangerously easy to become a clone.

You follow their templates.
You steals their headlines.
You mimic their ‘authenticity’ posts — hoping no one notices it’s not really you.

Because hey, it worked for them… right?

But here’s the part nobody tells you:

If you blend in, you disappear.

That’s why, when I saw Sinem Gunel was the only creator launching a product with a live masterclass, I stopped scrolling.

And started planning.

Even if it meant risking low sign-ups.
Even if the tech glitched.
Even if I looked like a try-hard.

I told myself: If 100 people register, I’ll call it a win.

897 people signed up.

I nearly dropped my tea.

193 showed up live. Over 300 more watched the replay. That’s a lot of people watching me talk for 90 minutes. In a world of short attention spans and AI-generated fluff, showing up live matters.
