2025 was wild. AI exploded. Platforms shifted nonstop. Trends moved at lightning speed.
But beneath all the noise, creators kept showing up. Posting. Building. Experimenting.
Instead of the usual “new year, new me,” we wanted to focus on something more real: the actual goals creators are setting for 2026.
We gathered resolutions straight from Hopp users. Not vague intentions. Real, practical goals creators are actively working toward.
Think of this as inspiration for the year ahead, with ideas you can actually act on.
Resolution # 1:
Design My Dreams into Reality
Some creators know exactly what they want. The hard part is finding tools that don’t water it down.
For 2026, Jade’s resolution is simple and unapologetic:“Being able to design exactly what I envision, without limitation.”
When your brand lives online, every detail matters. Colors, layout, flow, hierarchy. Creative freedom isn’t just about aesthetics. It’s about control.
That’s where Hopp fits naturally. Instead of forcing her brand into a rigid template, Jade uses Hopp to design a link-in-bio that feels like a true extension of her visual world. Full customization. Brand-first layouts. No compromises.
In 2026, give yourself that same freedom. From branding and packaging to social content and campaigns, everything starts with a vision—and Hopp helps bring it to life in a way that’s functional, intentional, and built for everyday creator life.
Resolution # 2:
Start Earning on Social Media
For many creators, the hardest part isn’t creating. It’s figuring out how to earn from it in a way that feels natural.
Eden started using Hopp to grow her digital presence, but for 2026, Eden’s resolution is clear: start earning from her creative work without losing the magic behind it.
Social platforms are where her audience already is. The challenge is turning that attention into real support. Instead of relying on a single format or income stream, Eden wants flexibility. Different ways to share, different ways to earn, all without making things complicated.
By using Hopp, Eden can start offering her work in more than one way. Digital products, paid sessions, workshops, print on demand and more, all accessible directly from her social presence. No friction. No extra steps.
In 2026, the goal isn’t just to create more. It’s to make creativity sustainable without changing what makes it yours.
Resolution # 3:
Build Recurring Income with Subscriptions
One-time sales can be exciting. They’re also unpredictable.
For 2026, Mia’s focus is on stability. Building income that doesn’t start from zero every month and creating a structure that supports creative work over time.
As she puts it:“By integrating subscriptions into our strategy, we can focus on long-term goals that support the community we’re building.”
Subscriptions change the way creators work. They make planning easier. They create breathing room. They turn short-term wins into something sustainable.
With Hopp, Write-Haus can offer subscriptions, memberships, and packages while managing recurring payments in one clear, accessible system.
In 2026, building recurring income is about creating stability so you can keep making the work you care about without constantly chasing the next sale.
Resolution # 4:
Show Up Consistently & Grow Digital Presence
Being visible online isn’t the same as being present.
For 2026, Ashlee is committed to being more thoughtful about her digital presence.
Showing up consistently, sharing storytelling-driven content, and using her platform to build real relationships and long-term business partnerships.
As she puts it: “My goal is to grow not just visibility, but connection, impact, and sustainable opportunity through my work.”
Consistency becomes easier when your work has a clear home. When everything you share, from projects to collaborations, connects into one story instead of living across disconnected posts.
In 2026, growth isn’t just about being seen more. It’s about creating work that builds connection and leads to lasting opportunities.
Resolution # 5:
Use AI Intentionally to Work Smarter, Faster, and More Creatively in 2026
For creators, time and energy are limited resources.
As we look ahead to 2026, it’s impossible to ignore how deeply AI is becoming part of the creative process. Not as a replacement for creativity, but as a way to remove friction and make space for better ideas.
When we look inward at Hopp, our focus is simple: using AI to make things easier for creators. Our roadmap is shaped around adding thoughtful AI tools that help you work smarter, move faster, and spend more time creating instead of managing tools.
We encourage creators to use AI in ways that support their goals. From brainstorming content and shaping ideas, to turning those ideas into digital products and experiences you can actually sell from your Hopp page.
In 2026, working smarter with AI isn’t about doing more. It’s about realizing the ideas you already have and giving them a real path forward.
And if you want to see what we’re building and learn alongside us, our Hopp page is a great place to start.
We also share creative tips, creator insights, and real-world inspiration on Instagram, so if you’re not already following, come join us there.
Hopp Into 2026, Now it’s your turn.
The resolutions creators are setting for 2026 aren’t about chasing trends or doing more for the sake of it.
They’re about creating with clarity, earning in ways that feel right, building systems that last, showing up consistently, and choosing tools that truly support the work you care about.
Whether you’re designing your brand, finding new ways to earn, building recurring income, growing your presence, or exploring AI as part of your workflow, the year ahead is about progress that feels sustainable and personal.
2026 isn’t about reinventing who you are. It’s about giving your ideas the space, structure, and support they need to grow.
We can’t wait to see what you build next 💫
I love how this article encourages creators to set intentional goals for the new year, focusing on growth, consistency, and experimentation. Planning ahead and reflecting on past projects can make all the difference in achieving meaningful progress. In digital products, the same principle applies: clear direction, aligned objectives, and iterative improvement drive success. That’s one of the reasons I value ui strategy—it helps teams define priorities, anticipate user needs, and structure workflows so every decision contributes to the bigger vision. Thoughtful planning at the strategy level ensures that both creators and products evolve purposefully, rather than reacting to trends.
