#46 The Alice Lemée Route

Alice Lemée is a writer, strategist, and creator of Internetly, a newsletter exploring identity, creativity, and online business. In this episode, Alice opens up about the moment she realized freelancing wasn’t her long-term path, how she coined the concept of “Creator Gravity,” and why building something meaningful requires messy, unglamorous work behind the scenes. From a failed music internship during COVID to going viral on Twitter, Alice shares how she turned rejection into a full-time writing career—eventually building newsletters for top creators like Miss Excel and growing an audience of her own. (00:00) Intro(03:36) Discovering Medium and writing about scams(08:01) How a viral Twitter thread launched her freelance career(12:57) Landing early clients and building momentum(15:18) Creating value through curation, not expertise(20:06) The highs and lows of freelancing(23:54) Building Miss Excel’s newsletter from 50 to 392K(26:30) The power of relationships and personal brand(29:34) Launching Internetly as a creative outlet(31:58) Why Alice walked away from the digital nomad lifestyle(38:55) Coining “Creator Gravity” and building a new lens(46:03) The importance of commitment to the craft(48:30) Detaching from metrics and trusting the process(49:56) Letting go of a past identity to make room for what’s next(51:19) Building the Creator Gravity cohortFollow Alice on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alicelemee/Work with Alice Lemée: https://www.alicelemee.com/Subscribe to Internetly: https://internetly.substack.com/--Create your next digital offer: https://harnessandhone.com/ Join Full Stack Solopreneur: https://fullstacksolo.com/Download the free roadmap: https://fullstacksoloroadmap.com/
