Two New Drops for Alt Creators Who Want to Build Something Real
Because your voice deserves more than algorithm scraps.

After years of spiraling through content creation, merch drops, slow growth, and figuring out how to actually get paid for being myself—I’ve finally written it all down.
Not one, but two new guides for anyone trying to grow online without selling out or giving up:
🖤 Grow Weird
A zine-style guide to building your niche on Instagram
This one’s for the artists, musicians, meme posters, and chaotic creatives trying to post with purpose and find their people. I walk you through everything I’ve learned about content, hashtags, engagement, and keeping your weird intact while growing with intention.
💸 The Sad Girl’s Guide to Getting Paid
A practical, no-fluff breakdown of how I actually make money online
Think merch, digital drops, tips, passive income, and how to turn your niche into something sustainable—without becoming a walking ad. This guide is for the weirdos who want to stay soft and make money from their creativity.
🎉 Let’s Build Something Real
You don’t need 100k followers to build something real.
You just need a voice, a vibe, and a plan that works for you.
Let’s grow something weird—and get paid while we do it.
Pick your poison below. I’ll see you in the spiral. 🖤
xo,
Ariel
