Work on that following first, then sell the courses and books

Hey folks I was just thinking about something that yeah, I get questions

about how do I break into the content creation world and stuff like that

pretty regularly and something just occurred to me that I thought was kind

of interesting and that is that I occasionally will see people with a

handful of followers on Twitter and and like no sense of a newsletter of

any kind or anything publishing books and making courses, you know, paid

courses and things like that.

And I think that I mean, I'm I'm not sure maybe that is working out okay

for them, but IThink that's a little bit backwards You need to be able to

earn the trust of the people that you're asking money from before you start

asking money from them. And it's indicative to me that they haven't

actually done that if you don't have any sense of a following of people or

some sort of newsletter or some sort of tribe I guess of people who are

committed to you and your content.

And so what I'd recommend for people is before you start going out selling

content, I mean feel free to do whatever you want and you can sell content

maybe make.A couple backs but if you want to be successful at this you need

to find a way to get the trust of the people that you're trying to reach.

And the best way that I found to do this is to create a silly amount of

free content. And because people, you know, this is their hard-earned money

and they want to know for sure that this is going to be worth their time.

It's not just their money. You can offer like a 30-day money-back

guarantee, which I do.

But still people are like, it's not like everybody takes it to to see if

it's gonna work out for them because it'sIt's not just money It's time It's

the amount of time that it takes people to go through the material to see

if it's worthwhile for them. And so what I would suggest is you spend a lot

of time creating free content and this takes a lot of time.

If you're like if you've been working on this for a couple months and

you're frustrated because you only have a 300 followers or something keep

at it, it takes a multiple years really to build up a following but it's if

this is what you want to do, then it's worth your while I think.

So yeah, we're work on creating.Really good high quality free stuff as much

as you are able and then you'll gain the trust of some people develop some

sort of tribe. I actually there's there's this book that's like tribes why

we need you to need to follow you or something like that that I would

recommend but yeah get a base of people who trust you and share your

material and then once you have that base then you can go and start asking

for money from people and they'll trust you they'll know you that your call

your content is good.

So, I hope that's helpful. Good luck. See ya.
