Wow, what an amazing success story. I wonder how, with all the changes, the saturation, etc. that has been happening, this journey would look like for someone who starts in Jan 2024 and has not already reached pro status, a following, a client base, etc. changes. In my own field but also supported by many reports from others, it appears that the willingness to commit money, especially when it's a little more than a few dollars, appears to have gone down a lot. Would someone starting new encounter an even bigger struggle than Maya describes?
Hi Axel! I know what you mean; I always wonder if I’m late to the party when someone describes their success story and it starts years before I started. But, as the saying goes, the best time to plant a tree is 50 years ago. The second best time is now. It’s true that platforms change and saturated platforms are difficult to enter—but not impossible. Plus, you can look at it from another perspective—when I entered, I was forced to work for $5, because that’s where the platform was. There was no pro-rated option and getting top rated took me forever. The entry is harder now but also a lot more rewarding when you do enter. If you have any specific questions, do not hesitate to ask. 💰
Thanks Maya. I hear you and agree. That's why I am so excited about Substack. I think it is comparatively early stage and with Kristina's help we might be successful together. I love that it offers options for notes, newsletters, articles, podcast, paid section all in one place. I am not yet using everything but am excited about the potential
Substack is amazing! I went paid way before everyone said I should and I grew faster than expected. I do think the timing is perfect for this platforms (although I first heard about it in 2018 and now I’m beating myself for not getting in sooner).
Me too and me too. I had heard about it and even received newsletters with substack subscribe buttons and it still did not click. I just happened to see one of Kristina's YouTube videos and that got me into it. On the paid, I activated it too. Any things you can share that worked for you to monetize quickly?
INSPIRED!!!
Glad you are, Melissa! Let me know if I can answer any questions or help in any way.
Yeah, tomorrow will be our live session, Melissa. Hope you can join. Think it's gonna be a Zoom call so you can ask your questions
Thank you, Maya.
I shall watch this as soonm as I'm able. In the meantime, wishing you a good weekend.
