I love all of this, but as you say , it's not "easy" to do all of this... E.g. I'm an entrepreneur who is starting (part of my "niche" is in the creative world and neurodivergent women (gifted, multipotencialites)... And I don't have a portfolio, followers, I don't have anyone on my emailing list... It's all the time writing and creating for myself and the void 🤣 but at least because of Seth I know that, I have to create a strong emailing list to start selling something 😂 thanks! 🤍 You're content is always very valuable and I'm happy that I have found you on the vast world of internet!

If you get 1000 people on Instagram, you'll be lucky to reach 100 of them.

A lot easier to just get 100 people on your email list.

Not "EASY," but it absolutely be done!

Congrats Estef for getting started with your email list! 🙌🏻 I know it's hard, it's taken me years to build mine but the positive is that ever since I started posting regularly and moved the letter to Substack, I've been finding new readers on a steady pace without being active on any other social media channel. So I guess, if you have a good, social-media-like platform for the letter where you get exposed to new people that already helps. And as Seth coins in the interview, there's a lot you can do outside of "traditional" social media channels to connect with people in meaningful ways. Good luck with it all, and patience, that's something I've personally needed a lot of. Enjoy creating your letter and your way of existing for the readers you have, even if there's 10 of them. It's still amazing they choose to be part of your world ☺️✨

Thank you so much Aurora for your words! I'm happy to hear that you're thriving! I know that all of this takes time and I love creating just for creating, but also money is needed... As a gifted-multipotentialite person, I would love to live from my passions instead of working for others, which I struggle a lot doing it, but I have to keep doing it because of the green bills 🫠 until I can live from my passions... it's hard, but I have to keep working on it! Thanks again for your encouragement! 🤍
