I've reached 1,000 followers! I'm so grateful for these connections.

It has been about two years since I started using note in earnest in the spring of 2023.
Last night, I was so happy to see the number at 999!

When I woke up this morning, it had reached 1,000.

I am truly grateful for the connection I have made with each and every one of you here on note!

Currently, I am focusing on following up with my membership members, so I apologize that I am not actively following back on note.
(If we connect on other social media platforms like Threads, Instagram, or X, I will follow you back!)

I could never have reached this point on my own.It is not through my own power that I was able to get my paid note articles on track from the first year.

It is all thanks to everyone who has connected with me like this, and above all, I want to express my gratitude to the respected seniors in the note community.

The reason I am able to be my authentic self, connect with like-minded peers, run a membership, and even earn an income is because...

The seniors in the note community have been steadily posting for years, paving the way for the creator economy market.

“It is okay to receive income for your own value.”

Because they created that world, I believe I was able to walk this path smoothly.

So today, I would like to introduce the creators I respect and from whom I have learned so much since I first started on note.

As I always mention, Hiroomi Sueyoshi, author of “The Courage to Turn Your Posts into Money.” Thanks to Mr. Sueyoshi, the psychological hurdle of “writing paid note articles” was significantly lowered, allowing me to take on the challenge.

Yuki Ishizuka, who is like a kindred spirit I first met on note.
Like Mr. Sueyoshi, he is a great senior who has been writing on note for about seven years!He has produced my membership and other projects.

Nanako Maki, with whom I connected shortly after starting note.
I thought her posting style was wonderful, so I decided on my own that I wanted to make her my “role model” and aimed to be like her.She is someone from whom I have learned by purchasing many of her paid note articles.

Shigeku-san, who has established a position as the go-to person for paid note articles!A legend who has updated his note every single day for over 2,000 days!
I believe he is an expert who knows more about the state of note than anyone else.

Nana-san, an expert in paid notes, Kindle, and Canva.
I am also a member of her membership, and she has wonderful achievements in various fields, such as "over 1,400 consecutive days of posting on note" and "publishing 6 Kindle books, including bestsellers."

Ryuka-san, who made me think, "Even I, who am intuitive rather than theoretical, can sell paid notes!"
Whenever I feel psychological hurdles or get down, I am always encouraged by Ryuka-san's notes and am able to move forward.

The great seniors I respect are not people who "achieved explosive sales in a short period of time."They are all people who have continued to post steadily every day with a long-term perspective.

I believe that my current note exists thanks to the presence of such seniors.

I think I was lucky to meet seniors I wanted to use as role models soon after I started note, and I hope that I can become such a person myself someday.

I will continue to post steadily and honestly from here on out.

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude for the connections with all 1,000 of you.
