Chapter 1: A Warm Welcome

I’m thrilled to extend a heartfelt welcome to LuMar Lee, Mike, and Ismael! How fortunate you are to be mentioned in the title of my inaugural official Substack newsletter. My previous practice emails were just that—practice! It's a significant moment for me to have you as my very first newsletter subscribers.

Your support means the world to me, and it truly brightened my day to realize there are people out there interested in what I have to share. Thank you! 🙏

You might be curious about what you've signed up for. Given that my content creation journey has often felt like a circus act—especially with YouTube and Medium—there’s plenty to explore!

If you're not familiar with my YouTube adventures, you can read more about my colorful quest to reach 1000 subscribers here. For those who don’t have a Medium membership, feel free to access my story through this free friend link.

Chapter 2: Nobel News

Nobel News will be your primary source for updates on my creative and entrepreneurial projects. While I could easily fill your inbox with daily updates about various topics, I promise to keep it focused. The more random stories will remain on Medium, so don’t hesitate to follow me there if you haven’t already!

I plan to concentrate on my new side hustle journey, detailing the passive income projects I'm undertaking and their outcomes.

Chapter 3: Launching Heidi's Hustles

I’m on the brink of launching my fourth YouTube channel, which I’m calling Heidi's Hustles. Initially, I considered naming it Heidi's Hobbies, but upon reflection, I realized it needed a sharper focus. I want to avoid falling into the same trap as my previous channels, where years of effort yielded little financial gain.

Interestingly, I’ve found I prefer engaging with my hobbies alone rather than filming the process. Having a camera can disrupt my zen-like state, and I’m not keen on spending hours editing out the highlights of my creative endeavors.

Chapter 4: Creative Motivation

Heidi's Hustles will push me to unleash my creativity and encourage me to explore all those passive income ideas I’ve had over the years. It’s time to transition from being a thinker to a doer! I have nothing to lose; the worst that could happen is looking back later and wishing I had tried.

So, I’m committed to doing my best with the skills I currently have while also learning new ones. I aim to be a student, an action-taker, and eventually a teacher—albeit starting as a teacher-in-training!

Even if my efforts don’t pan out financially, I’ll be proud to say I gave it my all! 😊

Chapter 5: Meet Heidi Nobel

But wait, there’s more! Heidi Nobel is the first YouTube channel where my creative journey began, launched on October 8, 2018. Initially titled Nobel Soul, I later renamed it Simply Nobel before settling on Heidi Nobel. Simply Nobel will now serve as my brand-focused channel.

If you're subscribed, you'll receive occasional updates about Heidi Nobel. This channel has just embarked on its A-Z Vlogging Challenge and is dedicated to simple and mindful living.

Maintaining a balanced work/play lifestyle is crucial for me, as I often swing too far in one direction. Both Heidi Nobel and Nobel Soul will offer me—and my viewers—a chance to take a breather and simply be.

Thank you once again for joining me on this journey! If you've read this far, I hope you find inspiration to explore some of these passive income ideas as well. After all, what’s the worst that could happen? 😏

Here’s to embracing life and the unknown! 🥂

Stay Nobel! 😉

Your Friend,

Heidi Nobel
