how to get paid to write about your life

Reader, I'm an absolute SATC fanatic and I always dreamed of having Carrie Bradshaw's life โ€“ getting paid to write, living in cute places, building something that's MINE.

Except I'm not writing from a $700 Manhattan apartment in Louboutins (lol ๐Ÿ˜‚) โ€“ I built the tropical version.

Bali cafes, European cobblestone streets, iced lattes instead of cosmopolitans.

And honestly, I'm OBSESSED with it in a way I've never been obsessed with Instagram or any other platform...

And here's the wild part, My diary is my highest-converting funnel. My most engaged audience. My most FUN part of my entire business.

Like... people actually REPLY to these emails. They tell me they look forward to Saturdays. They buy from me because they trust me.

That's the magic of writing weekly diaries instead of posting Instagram captions that disappear into the void. ๐Ÿ’ซ

So if you're reading this thinking "omg I want THIS" โ€“ I wrote an entire blog post about why I write weekly diaries instead of Instagram captions.

Just click the picture to read it (it's very in depth!).

Because you don't need a column in Vogue or a book deal to get paid to write about your life btw.

You just need to start writing to your diary + blog and inviting people to read it.

It can be as simple as that. ๐Ÿฉต

๐Ÿ’ญ And if you're sitting here thinking "okay but HOW do I *actually* do this?"

That's exactly what I teach in Her Soft Blog Mini Playbook โ€“ the step-by-step method for turning your writing into income so you can build your own version of the Carrie Bradshaw lifestyle.

No column or book deals required. Just you, your words, and a blog that pays you to live your dream life.

You can actually start today. โฌ‡๏ธ

"I'm allowed to build a business that feels like my favorite lifestyle, not what everyone else is doing."
