For CHRISSAKES Beloveds, I know the economy is SHIT and you wanna make money online on the side ... Build PLEASE build your own website.
I know you don’t want to. I know it feels like one more thing. But please build a super basic website that YOU own. It does not need to be fancy.
Start your email list today. Not next month. Not when you have more followers. Start collecting emails now.
Stop sending everybody to Linktree. It’s shit for most businesses.
You’re sending people to a page with 7, 8, 10 different choices and hoping they pick the right one. They WON'T.
Direct people to one or two things you actually want them to do.
Like a FREEBIE (to get them on your email list for future marketing) an Entry level DIGITAL PRODUCT (something that solves ONE PROBLEM for a low cost - make it feel worth 10X the value).
Pick two main platforms to focus on. One should help new people discover you (like YouTube or TikTok/IG).
One should help you build a relationship with the people already paying attention (like THREADS or X).
And I don’t care if you “don’t like Facebook,” YouTube, SEO, or whatever else. You need SOME way for people who don’t already know you to find you.
Get better at promoting yourself & your talents. I know it feels awkward. But someone with 1/4 of your skill is promoting themselves harder & getting the client. Learn to talk about what you’re good at.
Figure out video.
You don’t need to become an influencer or build a studio. Video matters. Find a version you can actually keep doing. There's Music Over B-Roll, AI Twins, etc
Outsource the shit you keep avoiding. If it’s been sitting on your list for months because you hate doing it, get help.
Always pay yourself. Money coming into the business isn’t enough. You need to be able to take money out too.
You don’t need fancy tools to make money. A basic stripe or paypal checkout page are fine.
Make money first. Then refine the branding, software, website, and systems.
Start simple. Make money. Improve from there.
