that was me 8 months ago, too. I started from 0. for pretty much 3 months, I created free content in posts, daily notes and interacted a lot with the community here. step by step more subscribers came and then I started earning from it.. so yeah, it’s just a building-your-audience process

Great article, Claudia! Visibility is so important. Creating the thing isn't enough. If you want it to have impact, you have to share it. 😊 Also, love your recommendation about polls. I need to do more of those.
