How to go from 0 followers to full-time content creator by the end of 2025

👀 ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Want to go full-time as a creator but don’t know where to start? Today we’re unpacking the exact system I would use if I had 0 followers & wanted to become a full-time influencer/content creator by the end of 2025!

We’re getting ✨ rigid ✨ about building a super simple business & content strategy you can use every single week — to simplify your workflow, create a solid base, and build from there.

After the content workshop, we’re having a little coffee chat about my own experience doing this, why it’s harder than you think to find your “thing” online, and wrapping it all up with an “after work social” 💅🏻 with updates on the podcast, Busy Blooming & more!

🎯 This episode is for you if:

• You want to grow online but have no idea where to start

• You’re overwhelmed trying to balance content & business

• You keep hearing “treat it like a business” but don’t know how

• You feel like you still don’t know what your niche or “thing” is

• You want a system that simplifies everything, weekly
