That’s the smarter way, and it starts here.
About Me.
I’m Maya Sayvanova—solopreneur strategist, copywriter, and creator of Smarter Solopreneurs, a Substack newsletter read by more than 8,000 growth-obsessed solopreneurs.
I started as a copywriter on Fiverr, where I became part of the top 1% of freelancers, earned $250K+, and worked with 2,200+ clients. I’ve partnered with big businesses and startups serving brands like HP and Samsung, where my research-driven copy helped secure deals worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
But most of my clients on Fiverr were solopreneurs—from coaches and consultants to writers and fitness instructors. Helping them sell their offers taught me something crucial: most monetization problems aren’t copy problems, they’re clarity problems.
That insight turned me from a writer into a strategist. Since then, I’ve helped hundreds of solopreneurs sharpen their offers, simplify their marketing, and finally make consistent income doing what they love.
My work has been featured in Business Insider, Metro UK, and more, and my writing has reached over 600,000 readers on Medium, where 23,000 people follow my insights on business and creative growth.
Today, through Smarter Solopreneurs, I teach what I’ve learned the hard way: how to build a business that’s profitable, personal, and peaceful.
Other than this, I live in Burgas, Bulgaria, five minutes from the beach. I’m raising two boys and one husband. ;-)
