If you’ve been creating free content online and trying to use it to grow a profitable work-from-wherever business, it can be frustrating to see people who appear to be doing the same thing as you, but are earning way more money!

And if you’re newer to blogging, podcasting, or creating videos for your audience, then seeing other people’s revenue numbers can be totally intimidating. It can be especially upsetting when the content they’re creating isn’t even as good as yours…

…Perhaps you’re thinking, “If only people just knew I existed, then I’d be able to turn my content into a bonafide business…and help a lot more people in the process!

You’d love to get the same results, but how? Do these other creators have something you don’t? Nope!

Being the go-to leader in your niche and having hundreds (or thousands) of customers thanking you for making an impact on them.

Making money for your creative work without having to actually trade hours for dollars.

(Nope! But you need to know how to stand out.)

Many, many years ago, it was easy to earn thousands per month from your website by simply putting ads all over your site, using affiliate marketing, and doing sponsored posts.

Well… things have changed.

These methods don’t work the way they used to, and frankly, there are much more fulfilling ways to earn an income by creating organic, helpful content!

Besides, if you’re building a following based on ads, you’re literally sending traffic away from your site and content once they get there. What’s the point of building a following, only to send people away?

Oh, just that thing you’re probably already doing or want to be doing! In my eyes, there are a few major content platforms – I call them The Big Three: blogging, podcasting, and creating videos for YouTube.

Many years ago, I started a blog where I would create helpful content for my readers each week. Within 3 years, that ballooned into a million dollar business! Later, I started a podcast, and had my first multi-million dollar year in business that same year my podcast launched.

And in my opinion, it’s the BEST way to create a business that has longevity. If you create helpful, free content, you can use that to attract an online audience. And once you have an audience following your content? You will have a sustainable business for years to come! Many of my own followers have been around since I launched my blog… seven years ago!

But of course… it’s not as simple as throwing up a blog post, podcast episode, or YouTube video and expecting the money and community to roll in. You need to use a specific strategy that’s designed for content creators AND that works in 2020.
