Joddie’s Simple Guide: 5 Content Creation Tips
Commit to being consistent | Whatever that means to you - daily, weekly, monthly, etc. (your audience, readers, followers, etc., know what to expect, and you’ll get in the habit of putting out videos, content, podcast episodes, newsletters, etc.)
Start & Keep Going
Set yourself up for success:
Make it easy for folks to contact you (business email (Gmail is fine IMHO)
Have something for sale
Make it easy to find your offers (link in bio, on your website,
Make it easy to pay you (If you don’t have a website or checkout page, consider using Pensight, PayPal, Venmo, Payhip, Gumroad, etc.)
“Every mickle make a muckle” (…every dime you make adds up to greater sums)
Educate Yourself/Up-skill/Gain New Skills
Online courses
Free resources in your community and online
YouTube University (Whatever your interest, you will likely find some guidance on YouTube)
Hey, maybe even pay for certifications and/or a degree. (This, to me, is a big decision. Perhaps do your due diligence, especially if it’s a costly certification or degree regarding time and money.)
Expect Failure - get your lipstick ready and start kissing frogs!
