To all the TikTok creators scrambling to start an email list right now

Building an email list is the most important thing for any online business. Keep it simple. Share what you know. Treat it like you're writing a friend.

When starting Orbit For Creators I was overwhelmed with the thought of sending out a newsletter regularly. But I knew how important it is to build up that communication channel. Now I have sent over 70 issues to a growing list. Without ever missing a week. Here is how.

Start with curation 📝 For the first year I just shared YouTube videos
that are helpful to aspiring creators. Giving myself 1 hour each Friday to collect what I watched and hit send.

If it's good enough for Tim Ferris it's good enough for me.

Share how you work ⚙️ For the second year I switched things up. To make it more valuable to readers I started sharing frameworks and core principles that help me enjoy work more and guide me in decisions. Still only writing 1 hour each week.

So if writing a regular newsletter sounds daunting to you remember to keep it simple. Treat it like a diary and write to 1 person.

Hope that helps.
