I love that reverse approach! Back then a print article was made available online as a side effect - here is goes the other way around!

Hi Gunnar, exactly this!

Going slowly but steadily - writing two books at the same time. Just posted a new longer article celebrating 8 years in Sydney today!

Very Enjoyable to listen to the career of Anna Warton. She is so humble and lovely. It reinforces for me to write what one knows. and have a feel for. It so interesting that she struggled to put up the paywall. She is so experienced yet so humble.

Hey Karen, Thank you so much! I’m so glad you enjoyed hearing Anna’s story. She really is such a humble, inspiring presence, and her journey reinforces that core idea of writing authentically and from experience.

Her hesitancy around the paywall, despite all her expertise, just shows how down-to-earth she is. Glad she's now going with her paywall strategy and putting everything behind the paywall.

I'm also thinking about making more for paid members, like you.

It’s amazing to see that even seasoned writers sometimes struggle. Especially as a single mom, she had to take care of her finances. if you don't get paid for your writing, it's a hobby - except you have some type of monetization (courses, coachings etc.) Happy to help you with monetizing YOUR unique skills and knowledge.

Thanks for listening. I sent you a DM!

I am enjoying all the goodies you have to offer. I knew from the beginning i wanted to work with you. I am just worried you did not get paid because of the fraud on my card. Please let me know and I will put another card in. Thank you so much Kristina you are a joyl

Lovely conversation, thank you for sharing all these great interviews with us. What an amazing feat being a featured publication three times! I also liked hearing that you don't necessarily need to do video, live and chat threads to be successful on here ❤️

Hi Sophie, Hope all is well!

Thank you so much! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the conversation. Being featured three times is definitely a highlight, and it’s great to know that success here can come in so many forms, without needing to dive into video or live sessions, you're right. I could inspire her to start her first Live. As far as I know, it went well. I bet she'll reply to the comments and will let you know. My live still doesn't work. I wanted it to do WITH someone but I can't invite anyone because I don't have an iPhone (using Google).

I’m glad to hear her approach resonates with you! Thanks again for watching and supporting! ❤️

I feel like you'll be fine doing a live all on your own, just bring your confetti and it'll be a party 😂🎉

You might me right about the live.

I'll try it next week ❤️

Happy Sunday, Sophie.
