No one is good at everything. Figure out the one thing you’re really good at and just work your ass off. If you can’t code – write books and blogs, record videos and podcasts. Carve out a niche for yourself.
I founded Femstreet, a newsletter for women in tech and venture, back in 2017. I built an email list, grew the list with free content, and now monetise it with a subscription.
