5 New Coil Creators to Follow
JULY EDITION – Check out the June Edition here.
If you've ever doubted whether or not the Coil community is growing, I will be the first to tell you that it definitely is! Some months it may feel like just a trickle of people and other months, a flood. Either way I am thankful that we are getting the word out about Coil and web monetization. If you haven't seen the newest developments on Coil, I recommend heading to the “Discover” page and checking out the recent publications and tabs they've added. You can also check out this exciting article by the Washington Post's Elahe Izadi that showcases the newest additions to the Coil family.
With that being said, it's important to keep up with the new faces on the platform and to continually make people feel at home. I think that's the beauty in the Coil platform, for over a year now it's consistently felt like home and I will do everything in my power to maintain that atmosphere as long as we can! Without further ado, let me introduce you to five of our newer creators!
1. Lauren Di Matteo:
Lauren is an amazing writer and photographer who I feel blessed to have stumbled upon via Coil. She has recently started to cross share her posts on Coil from her website. I can honestly say in the few posts I’ve read from her I’ve been blown away. Her writing will truly whisk you away to another place and her imagery is breathtaking. I was sold on her content the minute I stepped into her gorgeous website. The aesthetic is of my dreams and I could get lost in the stunning landscape that she houses her stories in. I recommend partaking in her content via desktop so that you can truly experience her photos. A phone just does not do them justice. I’m excited to welcome Lauren into the Coil community. It’s wonderful to see more and more established writers and creatives teaming up with Coil to take their content experience to the next level. Be sure to connect with Lauren on Instagram and Twitter

2. Michael Brooks:
Michael has been a delightful new addition to the Coil platform this month! He started cross-posting his articles on July 16th from his website and I took notice right away. One of the first articles he posted was about his endeavor of creating and selling an ebook during the age of Covid-19. I was incredibly impressed as he got straight to the point. He followed that article up with a fantastic Coil exclusive step-by-step guide so that YOU can do the same thing! I highly recommend checking out the guide if you've ever considered releasing an ebook. Now is as good a time as ever! Be sure to reach out and introduce yourself to Michael on Twitter.

3. 3gxd:
I haven't quite figured out what his username stands for, but I've really enjoyed several of the posts I've read over the past few days from @3gxd. He's only been on Coil for a few days but it seems like he's uploaded a backlog of content onto Coil which is always cool to see. It's interesting to see the different approaches that various creators take when integrating Coil into their online presence. @3gxd is co-owner of “#PvtPpr [prīvit pāpər] is an #IttyBittyApp so anyone can have a medium/news/article/blog/diary digital paper”. I recommend checking it out on Twitter, it seems interesting! One of my favorite articles he's put out is “Your Reward System”. I cannot help but feel slightly convicted that I may have fallen into the pattern of shorting myself on my abilities when it comes to frivolously rewarding myself. It's an interesting read to say the least. Be sure to check out more of his work below and connect with the mysterious @3gxd on Twitter!

4. Beatriz Sbeghen:
A few of us were introduced to Beatriz via the lovely Tahlia who was featured in last month's new creators to follow! I know that it can be hard to keep up on all the happenings on Twitter so I definitely wanted to include Beatriz in this month's edition. I love Beariz's writing. She has a true gift and honestly, she's relatable. I cried (yes I'm pregnant, but her message was just that good) reading “The Power of Self Honesty Caught Me By Surprise”. It's a good one ya'll and you must read it. It touched me because I am not in touch with myself and my wants or needs at all right now and she convicted me to get into a different headspace. Beatriz only has three articles on Coil as of right now but every single one of them has hit home with me. I'll link them below, take the time to read them and then don't forget to connect with her on Twitter and Instagram!

5. Catera Combs:
Catera has been posting consistently on Coil since June and I have to say, I love her content. Her branding piqued my interest from the first header photo I saw and I truly love following along. Her personality is vibrant and inviting and her content, especially her Cinnamon videos are fun and easy to watch. She is multi-talented, pursuing a career as an actress and from the moment she stepped into the community she has challenged us all. She's been a fantastic example of what you can do within the Coil and Cinnamon community. I love her blogging style, it's very personal and it consistently shows off her various hobbies and passions. It's fun to check in with what she's doing and although, as of now, she doesn't have a particular niche, she's left her fingerprint with a unique and inviting brand. Be sure to follow Catera on Cinnamon Video and check out her Twitter & Instagram!

That is all of the creators I have for this month! If I missed you, don't worry, you're probably already on my radar for next month. If I haven't met you and you're new to Coil or you've been around and haven't felt noticed, PLEASE reach out on Twitter! It's hard to keep up with everyone, even though I scour the platform for new people all of the time. I'd love to meet you and my DM's are always open.
Thank you so much for reading and joining in the effort to make Coil feel like home. Let us continue to lift each other up!
