Welcome to Unplugged by Yana G.Y.
The “Unplugged” newsletter is about how I’m quietly building my empire online by writing and automating with AI. Follow my exact steps to build your own growth path!
Hi, I’m Yana!
Welcome to my “Unplugged” newsletter!
Now you think I’m just another writer sharing tips for growth, right?
You’re right! But not entirely…
How am I different?
I walk the talk.
It’s something I mastered in leadership: you can’t be confident influencing others to do something you never did.
So I test what I share and speak from experience.
I don’t just learn and share what I’ve learned. I’m not gonna tell you how you can do stuff. I’m gonna tell you how I did what I did to achieve the results I have.
And I’ll give you the proof.
No fluff.
No sugarcoating.
Just unplugged, practical, actionable tips you can go, apply, and see results.
That’s all!
You will find all my Medium posts here for free as well as lots of exclusive posts behind the paywall.
Now, those are the real deal!
What are they?
They’re raw!
You’ll get the whole truth…
The bare-naked truth…
My unplugged version of it.
My brutally honest view on topics about the creator economy, the platforms, writing, and AI, which people barely talk about in public.
But there’s a catch: you’ll have to unplug yourself from the “matrix”. I’ll challenge you to:
unlearn what you’ve learned,
to think differently, and
to look at things from another angle.
It’s not gonna be easy, but it’s doable and it’s lot of fun!
Ready?
Look, we live in a new era - the era of TRANSFORMATION.
I’ll say that again: TRANSFORMATION.
It's not Evolution, not even REvolution, it's TRANSFORMATION!
And it's here because of AI.
Today anyone can monetize their content without any skill or experience. You don't have to be a writer or a designer to create highly valuable content.
Today content strategies that worked for years are now fading, while new AI-based models are gaining momentum.
Today children become millionaires.
If you think you’ve already figured that out, and you don't need anything think again!
You'd probably be right 12 months ago, but not now, not if you didn't change anything, not anymore...
It already happened in the past. Think about it. So many giants failed to keep up with new technology and went out of business. Remember Kodak and Xerox?
What about the recent example: Nokia? On the announcement of Microsoft's acquisition, Nokia's CEO said:
"We didn’t do anything wrong, but somehow, we lost".
Exactly!
They lost because they didn't do anything at all! They failed to adapt.
The rise of AI puts the education, entertainment, media, and marketing industries at high stakes.
Like it or not, we’re now in the Age of the AI Creator Economy!
So yes, anyone less experienced but well-equipped will outpace you. And by the end of the decade those who fail to adapt will be out of business! Like Nokia.

About me
This is me on a boat in the Aegean Sea:
And this is me as a 6-year-old, being shy but curious to explore the world:
See the determination in my eyes?
That’s exactly who I am!
I live in Europe and travel a lot.
I read non-fiction books on self-improvement.
I learn a lot. I believe you should never stop learning.
I have a crazy Jack Russel that makes my day every time I come home tired from a heavy day at work. Reminds me what are the important things in life.
I have a 9-to-5 where I build products and services for multinational multibillion businesses. I’m a woman in a senior leadership role in the big tech. I was awarded the Emerging Leader award in 2022 for building a 40-person high-performing digital marketing team, from scratch, in about 3 months (I should probably write a book about it, let me know if you’re interested).
I’m a Mentor at the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM). I am also coaching people on leadership.
My Superpower: help people grow. I have helped people get promoted in their 9–5, and achieve other professional and personal goals. And I’m also good at making complex things sound simple, presented on slides 😉 That’s how my courses will look like (coming soon).
I have a BSc in Marketing and an MSc in Finance, Fintech, and Digital Innovation.
I am a CIM Member, a Chartered Marketer, and a certified NLP Master Practitioner (neuro-linguistic programming).
I’m also into Python Programming and AI.
I’m writing online along with my 9-5. I believe people should write every day to deal with the huge loads of stress we face these days. But because I’m too ambitious, I’m taking it seriously to bring it to a business level.
I’m making consistent money by writing online with AI. I'm cracking the algorithms by testing tactics and sharing practical actionable tips on how to implement them.
I grew to $769.81 monthly earnings in just 3 months of consistent writing on Medium.
In this newsletter, I’ll share it all: the lessons, the pains, the gains - the brutally honest unplugged version about them. Things other platforms make me refrain from sharing with you.
I write on Medium.
I was there for a year trying to figure out what works. Finally, I cracked it! In two months of consistent writing I reached $500 in monthly revenues and growing:
I know big names with huge followings, who once made 5 figures monthly, now struggle to get where I am. Some even leave Medium and delete their content.
Why?
Because they don’t adapt! I achieve the above results with less than 2k followers!
How?
I’ll deliver everything to your inbox!
What other writers say about me:
I’m also on Amazon, YouTube, X, Quora, TikTok, Facebook, and Pinterest.
I’m now on Substack.
Let’s build a community of our own - a place where we can chat, exchange ideas, and grow together!
Now, enough about me!
I’d like to know more about you!
What’s been your biggest challenge writing online?

P.S. This is my real voice, cloned with ElevenLabs and tweaked to sound a bit better on the microphone (I hate how I can't make it sound like a pro, even though I have years of experience in public speaking).
I use ElevenLabs to make my voiceovers so that I don't have to do the tedious work of reading and recording.
I'm a writer you know!
I'm excited to be part of this Journey with you Yana!
Hi, Yana. I will follow you here too. I read your work on Medium since 3 months ago and I can confirm everything you said. I saw how you grew and what you can do for others. Believe me, she’s the best.
