Creators Who Get PAID Have to Sell
But It Can Feel Scary
If you’re receiving this newsletter it means that the messaging of getting paid for your creative work (writing, videos, podcasts, etc) was top of mind for you. And for the past year I have shared the stories of other creators who have made money in a number of different ways.
But one thing that I haven’t spent enough time talking about is the one thing that every creator getting is doing-selling.
You have to have SELL in order to make money. But what does that actually look like in practice? Initially, this could mean developing a product, good or service…and being “rejected” when you put yourself out there because not everyone will say “yes” to what you’ve created.
Selling does NOT have to be scary
Always be helping
Solve a problem
Create a tool or share a tool someone else has made
Connect people with a shortcut to the outcome that they desire
Have a cohesive content strategy-Most creators aren’t spending enough time thinking about how their content supports their mission, community and opportunities to earn within those acts of service. You have to sit down and plan things out in order to work towards the results that you would like to have within your business. Making money in your business is a result of focused strategy-not chance. It’s almost the end of 2023, this is the time to look at what has and has NOT been working. Then you double-down on what has been working.
Always be sharing (organically)
Backlink within your content the solution or solutions that you feel will help your community.
Create content that is supported by the products and resources that you feel will help your community.
Grow your email list or newsletter
Share as a pre/mid/ or end roll
