I accidentally became a content creator when I was 20 years old.

A full-time internship and my business studies were not enough to keep me busy, so I founded a non-profit organization dedicated to teaching students skills that aren’t taught at schools.

Every few weeks, I hosted workshops around topics like self-organization, habits, motivation, and time management.

After a while, I realized that I could turn my PowerPoint slides into blog posts and publish them online — so I did.

I had no idea how to write plus, my workshops were in German, which is my first language. My writing, however, was in English, so it was no surprise my first posts sucked and didn’t get any attention.

I did, however, deeply enjoy the process of creating something that didn’t exist before. So I kept doing it without knowing why or how.

3.5 years and more than 500 articles later, I turned my bumpy beginning as a blogger into a multiple 6-figure business, got millions of views on my writing, and even got featured on major outlets like Business Insider.
