2023 has been a ride in every way. I finally settled in Berlin, made strong friendships and learned a lot about myself. I love working on Handpicked, and YOUR great feedback with likes, comments, and open rates has been extremely dear to me.
Looking back, it’s hard to believe Handpicked is only a hobby project on top of my full-time job.
🚀 2023 was the year of growth:
and most importantly, subscribers are up by 356%, while the website gets thousands of monthly visits.
📣 I sent 49 regular issues (1200+ jobs and hundreds of snippets), and on top:
launched a website and got myself a new logo,
started Getting sh*t done for people like me that need an extra morning push,
and wrote a collaborative article about things to know about side businesses in Germany.
🔭 What’s coming in 2024, and how can YOU help?
Simple: more content because creating is fun and more experiments because experimenting is fun.
I'd love your input to work on the most interesting things: you can help me by participating in this 2-minute end-of-year survey. As a token of appreciation, you’ll receive a link to my 37-page PDF guide on “how to write better”, mostly based on the classic Elements of Style.
Thank YOU for reading this and, of course, to all the suporters and my partners and friends working with me. You know who you are. ❤️
A healthy and peaceful start to 2024!
This is how ChatGPT sees this text. I like its randomness.
