Why this creator left the corporate world and became a storyteller

Lawrence Yeo used to think his next creative venture had to match his corporate salary to be worthwhile. When he went all-in on writing and illustrating, his "enough" threshold changed. That shift turned a creative outlet into a newsletter with 25,000+ subscribers and a full-time course business.

Product update

Kit has a new navigation

We've redesigned the navigation to help you find what you need faster.

The new experience is organized around how creators actually work, with a cleaner layout and a collapsible sidebar that gives you more room to focus when you need it. Creators in testing found what they needed 40% faster.

To try it out, click your profile icon in the top right corner of your dashboard, then select Switch to the New Navigation. Starting August 20, the new navigation becomes the default for everyone.

Tip of the week

Resend your Broadcasts to unopens

Get your Broadcasts in front of more people by resending them to subscribers who didn't open them the first time. Our resend to unopens feature allows you to send your Broadcast again, but only to the subscribers who didn't open it the first time around.

Our tips for resending to unopens:

Schedule resends in advance: The number of unopens will be accurate up until the moment you resend.
Wait a few days before resending: Not everyone checks their email every day, and you don't want to overwhelm their inbox.
Don't resend every Broadcast: Save it for your best content, or the most important announcements you don't want your subscribers to miss.
