​

I spent the last year of 2025 reflecting about what I want to achieve in 2026.

I’ve got a couple of ideas in my head.

However, I’ve learnt it the hard way that ideas alone are not enough.I need to have proper systems in place to execute them.

So I started designing my system.Before diving right into it, I wanted to define what my online business would entail. I decided to come up with some content pillars

Content Pillar 1: Cozy Business Systems

This is where I am designing the structure of my business. Being a solo business creator, I’m handling everything from admin work to creative ideas. It can get a bit overwhelming. So I note down everything on my Notion. Notion has been incredibly helpful in listing down what I want to create and how I’m going to repurpose my content in different forms.

I’ve also made a note of my goals. I’ve got weekly, monthly and yearly goals.

My intention this month is to make money from my Cozy Blog Starter Kit.

I designed this kit to help other creators who are starting their blogging journey. Everything I’ve used to start my blog, this kit has it. It also includes monetization strategies

Content Pillar 2: Blogging Tips

This is where my main content theme comes.The whole reason I started my blog Create Radiantly was to make money from evergreen content. I love writing and content creation.I use my blog posts as my main source of content repurposing machine

My main digital product is designed around this topic.Every week, I am dedicating to write atleast 2 blog posts and promote them via Pinterest​

Simultaneously, I’m also using YouTube to promote my blog posts. My post becomes my script and my talking points turns into videoI’m also selling the blogging digital product on my Etsy shop

​

Content Pillar 3: Content Creation

With both the content pillars defined, this is where I am documenting my journey in the form of content creation. I’ve currently got 3 mediums of content - writing, video and shorts.

For writing, I cover it in my newsletter and on my blog

For video, I’m using YouTube to promote my business and teach blogging​

For shorts, I’m narrating my creator lifestyle

My last video was about starting a cozy blog in 2026 and this one’s still growing

Content Pillar 4: Creator Lifestyle

I am yet to expand on this one. Everything I’m doing is part of the lifestyle I’m living. I left my high paying 9-5 corporate job to jump into full time business without any backup plan. It’s risky, scary, overwhelming but also rewarding. The routine is also different now.

I don’t wake up in the morning panicking about going to soul less work. I enjoy what I’m doing. While there’s a looming pressure of making money, there’s also the freedom of doing anything I want.

Anyway, I want to start documenting my morning, evening routines of living as a creator. The structure I’m putting into my days and the tools I’m using to run my business - everything will come under this pillar.

If you plan to start a similar online business using blogging and content creation, I’d suggest to start with picking your niche and designing your content around this. I’ve designed a free mindmap to help you get started​

Until then, keep reading Create Radiantly.
