    Do a LOT of design work
    Don’t just do work in work time, and don’t just do it for clients
    Do work that you hate
    The tools are the least important thing
    The ideas are the most important

  • 223 - Designing Your Content
    I talk about a thing a lot of people don't think about: how to design your content.
    Subscribe:ITUNES | ANDROID | STITCHER | RSS FEED
    Scribbled Shownotes
    Designing your content isn’t something many people think about
    They think of content as writing, or blogs, or audio files.
    The design of your content is probably more important than your actual content
    If it’s boring, people won’t consume
    If it’s too long, people won’t consume
    If it doesn’t work or looks rubbish, people won’t consume it

  • 222 - Could You Sell Your Content Instead of Giving It Away?
    I talk about an interesting idea today: the idea that you might be able to sell your content.
    Subscribe:ITUNES | ANDROID | STITCHER | RSS FEED
    Scribbled Shownotes
    If your content is really special, or super helpful, you might be able to sell it
    There’s lots of ways to do that:
    Guest blog for other websites/publications
    Setup a subscription website
    Sell access to articles or research
    Do you know things that others don’t know?
    OR, do you know things that SOME people don’t know and would like to know?
    Everything is on the internet, but it’s hard to decipher which is good

  • 221 - The Tactic Nearly Everybody Uses (and will always use) To Make Money On The Internet
    I'm not talking about sleazy tactics. I mean: why should you be giving away all your content for free?
    Subscribe:ITUNES | ANDROID | STITCHER | RSS FEED
    Scribbled Shownotes
    I don’t like talking about making money on the internet, because it feels dirty to say it
    Some people will get the wrong impression, and think I’m talking about dodgy methods
    But that’s not what I’m talking about today
    I’m talking about creating content
    I’ve spoken about this this week a lot, as it’s what I’m focusing on this week
    The simplest and most effective tactic is this
    Give away all your secrets and content for free, and charge to implement it
    It works for nearly every business
    And if it doesn’t work for your business, a BIT of it will
    Give away SOME of your content and secrets
    Give away insane amounts of value
    Make people WANT to come back to your website for more free stuff

  • 220 - Why You (yes, YOU) Should Be Creating Content
    Today I bang the content drum (again), and try to inspire you to write some.

    Everybody has got an interest, a hobby or a passion. Sometimes they cross over and you get paid for them.
    Whatever your hobby is, they’ll be a website for it.
    If there’s not a website for it, you could create it.
    When you start producing content, people start to know you for that content.
    Creating regular content keeps you active in people’s minds. 
    They’ll remember you when they need the thing you’re promoting.
    You could make a job from your hobby!
