Welcome to 'Create with Bertilla'!
A creator-focused newsletter bringing you trends, tips, and insights every 2 weeks
Hello hello!
Before you exit thinking ‘Ugh! Another newsletter from yet another creator’, let me just say *deep breath*, yes, this is another newsletter from yet another creator, thank you for your time!
Okay, seriously, though.
The current state of the creator economy
Did you know that Substack alone has thousands of writers and 1M+ paid email subscribers? Platforms like Substack show that the ‘1000 True Fans’ concept is spot on by saying that if you have just 1000 people who want to support you, you could make a living, by charging a monthly fee of $5 to see your content.
In 2022, there are more than 50 million content creators and the creator economy is revolutionizing the world as we know it.
Being a creator, you can own your audience, monetize your passion, and build a business doing exactly what you love.
As a writer and creator myself, I’m thrilled to be exploring this huge oyster of opportunities and bringing them to you as well.
What you’ll get from my newsletter
First of all, a better name. I don’t know if this one is amazing, I’m open to your suggestions, friend.
You can expect a mix of—
In-depth resources on how to become a content creator [all the best information about different creator platforms, content types, and monetization methods].
Creator-focused articles that I write originally and ones that I curate from the web.
A round-up of the latest trends in the creator economy—new companies, exciting opportunities, and news updates.
Exclusive interviews with top content creators and pointers on how to grow as a new creator.
Super-exclusive insights into my own journey as a creator. Watch me try different creative pursuits, fail, learn, win, and grow, so you can start your own creative projects with a huge advantage.
When do I send out my newsletter?
Once every two weeks, on Thursdays
Who is this for?
