From Ideas to Published Newsletters … Big congrats to new publishers Amandah and Linda! 🎉🎉 As part of our The AWAI Model for Building a Thriving "Zero-Client" Writing Business, we walk members through how to set up their first "money lever" in a clientless writing business: a newsletter. Now new publishers Amandah Blackwell and Linda Rooney are eager for more subscribers! Amandah's audience is Gen X "Single" Women. She shared that she's most excited to be talking to her audience about rewriting the rules of midlife success … Blending career growth, financial savvy, and personal fulfillment for their best chapters yet! "My biggest takeaway from my training with Rebecca, Heather, and the gang is to stop overthinking things and just get started. You won't know if an idea will work unless you try it. 😀 You can always pivot or scrap it entirely and start over." (Check out Amandah's newsletter [here](.) Linda is also having a great experience with her new project: Bless Her Arts. Her target audience is women in their 40s-50s+ who are stressed-out, overwhelmed by, and maybe disappointed with their lives. She explained, "Many were creative/artistic in their younger years, but life took them down another path. Now they want to bring that creative outlet back into their lives and may think it's too late or lack self-confidence to start." Linda reveals she gets excited about sharing new techniques she's learned and products/paints/tools that have helped her. "I enjoy sharing the pieces I've created or I'm working on, what inspired me in the first place, and maybe what I was experiencing as I created, like busting through perfectionism." She was excited to discover through the "Zero-Client" program that this is "all doable, especially if you just keep taking steps forward and despite any fears." Another takeaway Linda got from the program is that it's okay not to have your business include everything that's explored in the training immediately or if ever. (You can find Linda's newsletter [here](.) Congratulations to Amandah and Linda for taking action in their zero-client writing businesses — we can't wait to hear more!
