It's a problem I hear all the time from new creators. It's easy to feel envious of influencers when their Instagram accounts are overflowing with followers. Presumably, along with their bank accounts.

If there’s one thing bloggers rely on to grow their business, it’s readers. I can tell you from personal experience that writing blog posts to what feels like a black hole can be draining.

Ever since Instagram nixed their reverse-chronological feed back in 2016, online creators have asked questions (and spread rumors) about how the Instagram algorithm works.

Ali Abdaal never set out to build a huge audience on YouTube. In fact, when Ali uploaded his first vlog in mid-2017, he simply wanted to document his final year at Cambridge—and maybe have some fun along the way.

The year was 1704. Boston postmaster John Campbell was putting the finishing touches on the first issue of the Boston News-Letter—a single-sheet packed on both sides with the most important news from the time.

Our inboxes are overflowing with offers, promotions and email newsletters. The average American worker sends and receives 126 emails per day. As a creator, it’s your job to write an email that is enjoyable to read and prompts the reader to stick around, and eventually, convert.

How many emails are you subscribed to right now? Too many to remember? Eventually, all of those emails become a blur, but if you want your own newsletter to stand out among the rest, you’ll need to learn how to design a newsletter that gets opens and engagement.

You’ve crafted an irresistible lead magnet, your subscribers are slowly but surely starting to increase and now it’s time to send out your newsletter! The only problem?

Nearly every day, I wind up reading a new story of a YouTuber becoming an overnight sensation—but for most creators, “going viral” is a terrible game plan.

If you’ve spent any time writing, working, or coaching in a niche, you likely have an ebook idea ready to come to life. It doesn’t take long for your mind to start spending your imaginary earnings, so you start to think about how to sell an ebook.

Here’s the thing: you can start and sell a profitable online course in just about any niche. But I get it—you're still skeptical—which is why I’m going to share tons of examples of online courses so you feel inspired and excited to create your own.

You have an ebook idea. You know it’s going to help many people. But you also have a fear that no one will buy it. In fact, that fear might be what’s keeping you from even starting to write your ebook.

You’ve finished your book, and now it’s time to share it with the world. The hard part — the writing — is over, right? But for authors Alex Hillman and Ryan Law, the frustrations were only beginning.

You’re finally ready to launch your ebook. The last step before releasing your ebook: giving it a price tag. Easy, right? You might be tempted to come up with your ebook price based on gut feeling. You may want to “charge what you’re worth”… Or just pick any ebook price and run with it.

Have you ever bought something that needed to be assembled and discovered there were no instructions included in the box? Not only is it frustrating, but it means you’re stuck with a product you don’t know how to use.

Creating landing pages is the digital equivalent of flipping your “open” sign on. The moment you launch, you’ve opened the door for people to come in and have a look around. These standalone pages are essential for creators since they’re where you’ll gain new email subscribers.

If you’ve been daydreaming about what it would be like to wake up and see your social media follower count triple overnight, you might want to reshift your focus.

You’ve already created a successful ebook. You just might not know it yet. If you’ve ever written a popular blog post that engaged readers, you have material. You have the nuts and bolts of writing and content creation down.

Starting an email list is an exciting and daunting time for many creators. Take Khe Hy for example. When Khe began sending his weekly newsletter to 36 of his colleagues, he had no intention of growing it into a business.

As a former singer myself, I know firsthand how easy it is to get absorbed into your music and put things like marketing on the backburner.

There’s a big problem with the Instagram audience you’ve worked so hard to build. You don’t own it.

You've likely heard it before, but I'll say it again: content upgrades are a great way to give added value to a reader in exchange for their email address. And there isn't much easier option than offering a free ebook.

Creating a best selling product in your ecommerce store doesn’t have to feel like rocket science. Maybe you’ve been wanting to dip your toes into the world of ecommerce business for a while, but you aren’t sure where you should start.

Does this sound familiar? You go to your email inbox, and are instantly bombarded by marketing offers, spam, and chain emails from distant relatives. Yikes. It’s easy to get overwhelmed and just send everything there to the trash.

Podcasts are a big deal. An estimated 48 million episodes are floating around on the internet, and in 2020 more than a third of Americans listened to podcasts regularly. It’s understandable if you want to get in on the action and add your perspective to the podcast conversation.
