Hi Reader, You can create content to get paid. Or you can get paid to create content. It’s a subtle shift, but it’s a profitable one. For example, some creators write articles or create content for social media networks. They earn money from display ads like Google AdSense or get paid through Medium, YouTube, or Facebook partner programs. I followed this model for a few years. I mainly earned from ads. I also enjoyed a good run on Medium for a few years. This model for creators requires...

Hi Reader, Claude projects are a real time saver and, I believe, the ultimate content repurposing tool for busy creators at this time. If you're unfamiliar with the concept, a Claude project is pretty much the same as a ChatGPT bot. It's a way of providing context for your chats with your prompt and also with some sample data, for example, documents, text code and other files that you upload. So, I have a Claude project that creates viral headlines for me based on content I have already...

Hi Reader, A common online trope for creators? Give away 95% of your best ideas. At first glance, this advice works. If you publish valuable content consistently, you’ll get hundreds, if not thousands, of impressions, likes, and shares. I did this for a few years with SEO and on Facebook. But giving away value, value, value attracts two types of people: beginners and tire kickers. Beginners devour value content. They’ll line up like hungry dinners at a buffet, devouring all you’ve got....

Hi Reader, I’ve created, launched, and sold online courses since 2016. I’ve also promoted other creator’s courses as an affiliate. Some course launches I worked on were profitable successes. Others were painful flops. The online course model sounds great… in theory. Spend a week or two recording a course about a topic you can teach. Then, sell your course over and over. And build a 6-figure digital empire. The reality of the online course model in 2024 is different to 2016. Course launches...

Hi Reader, I'm going to give you a simple strategy for repurposing your content. And you can do it with AI. This strategy saves me hours of time every week. Not only that but it gives me plenty of opportunities to take content that I've written and improve it. It's something that I would have paid someone to do a few years ago. But now it's possible with AI because I've spent a couple of hours training it to write and work like I do. Here's how my strategy works. Once per day, I write and...
