I hope we never meet in person.

Not because I don’t like you.

But because I suck at small talk and probably wouldn’t say a word.

Online? Different story.

I’ve built a content business without the following:

  • fake energy,
  • forced smiles,
  • or talking to weird strangers.

The internet feels like a shouting contest.

But you don’t have to yell to win.

As an introvert, I’ve found a quieter way.

I’ve built a profitable content business working quietly in the mornings.

Here’s how:

Throw your DSLR out of the window

When I started growing my audience in 2020, I thought that the best way was to start a YouTube channel.

For weeks, I forced myself to bring all this energy to the table and pretend to be that bubbly person I’m just not.

I hated every second of it.

As an introvert, your energy is different.
