Some writers don't want to think about the money side.
The question of how to monetize as a writer, creator, and thought leader is a bit loaded-because it requires you to address a deeper question, first.
Two questions, actually...
- Question #1: What does the party cost?
- Question #2: And who is the party for?
"What does the party cost?" is your "burn rate"-the amount of money it costs to sustain your lifestyle of happy living.
"Who is the party for?" is a deeper, more complicated question-and usually the root issue that keeps so many people from pursuing their passions.
In this "mini-book" you will learn:
- Why most people make financial decisions based on what they want other people to think about them-as opposed to what they truly want for themselves.
- How to determine your "ultimate goal" as a writer or creator (hint: it's not how to make money).
- Why Ryan Holiday and Malcolm Gladwell are both legendary writers, but one is better than the other at Category Design.
- How to monetize content, whether you write a book, create a course, put together a keynote speech, or hold monthly mastermind sessions.
- Tips to monetize your audience at each level of the Category Design pyramid, depending on how you build your audience and who's in it.
Short, sweet, and jam-packed with incredibly valuable insights, this "mini-book" shares how you get people to talk about you and your work, solidify your Category Design position, and build a legendary career that "pays for your party" for the rest of your life.
