I’ve been writing online, building newsletters, and growing digital businesses for a while now.

If I could go back and give myself advice at the start, these would be the 3 simple (but powerful) lessons I’d share:

1️⃣ Publish Before You’re Ready

Most beginners overthink, over-edit, and delay publishing because they fear their work isn’t “good enough.”

💡 The truth? Your first posts won’t be great — and that’s okay.
🚀 The fastest way to improve is to publish consistently and get real-world feedback.

2️⃣ Focus on Distribution, Not Just Creation

Writing is important, but if no one sees your work, it doesn’t matter.

📌 Instead of just “writing more,” spend time sharing, repurposing, and engaging where your audience already is.

💡 80% of success in writing online is getting your work in front of the right people.
