To Confident Creator

One journaling circle, one whispered idea, one button called Publish.

The Moment That Changed Everything

I'm Maya, a part-time bookseller with a passion for analog photography. I'd spend hours capturing moments on film. One Thursday, I joined a journaling circle on 99active and the host said something that stuck with me: 'You know, you could offer an act too.' That single sentence sparked an idea.

That night, I took a chance.

I described my dream workshop, "Analog Photography & Zine-Making," set a price, and tapped a button labelled Publish. It was that simple.

Maya's analog camera and journaling setup Maya's authentic setup: her camera, film, and journal.

The Perfect Fusion: Photography + Journaling

Maya's "Analog Photography & Zine-Making" Workshop

"We gather around café tables, scatter glue sticks and scissors, and turn memories into tiny magazines. It's messy, it's personal, it's perfect."

The Magic Happened Instantly

My Act Went Live

Suddenly my zine-making workshop was visible to everyone in my city looking for creative experiences.

People Started Booking

When people searched for "creative workshops" or "events near me," my workshop popped up.

Everything Was Ready

Beautiful posters, easy sharing links, and everything I needed to spread the word arrived in my inbox.

The Best Part?

I didn't need to learn marketing, design posters, or figure out payments.

I just focused on what I love—photography and storytelling.

Maya's Reflection

I'm still the part‑time bookseller who loves analog photography and journaling. But once a month, I gather strangers around café tables, scatter glue sticks and scissors, and watch them turn their photos and memories into tiny magazines. That one click—Publish—turned a private passion into a tiny community of creators.

And this is just the beginning.
