Grow your audience without losing yourself.

Systems, strategies and stories for solo creators chasing freedom not metrics.

Hey there, I hope you had a great October.
After a month of not writing you, I just wanted to check in how you are doing?

Pausing the newsletter has really given me space to think and refine what Orbit stands for.

It gave me the time to dedicate to creating a content strategy that goes beyond interviewing creators I find interesting.
Now I can confidently say:

“Orbit for Creators is a show about finding success as a Creator and what that success looks like.”

And thanks to everyone who took the time to have a chat, I now understand who you are in more detail
which really helps in deciding which videos to make and what problems to tackle.

You can already see how these insights have changed the most recent videos.

What I learned from talking to you is that you really care about your work. And that my perspective of being a creator is inspiring to you more than I ever realized. Which was very humbling to hear, how many of you would miss Orbit if it was gone.

Which brings us to where we are going from here.

Throughout November and December, I’ll continue to publish weekly videos on the YouTube channel.
To put the strategy into practice and refine it as we go.

I got most of the videos locked in but there are still two slots I’m undecided on.
Which of these would help you most right now?

Let me know in a reply.

Because collaboration is also something I want to double down on.
Instead of just writing about my corner of the internet, I’d love to include more diverse voices.
To watch less of what an algorithm tells me and more of what people really appreciate.
Connecting us in a sort of good content club.

For example, here is a video from Like Stories of Old about Ewan McGregor’s Motorcycle adventures.

Now I hope you enjoy your Halloween Weekend and find some time to reflect and think for yourself.

💛 Valentin
