The Profitable Creator with Melyssa Griffin | 3.40 GB
The proven method to create a buzzing community and profitable online course business (without the overwhelm)!
Have you ever seen super successful Bloggers, YouTubers, or Podcasters and wondered,.
“How on earth are they making money?”
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!
You can do it, too. Just imagine.
You can turn you free content and passion into a seriously profitable business without needing to do sponsored posts, become an affiliate marketer, or do one-on-one services.
Real Talk: What is “content” anyways?
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.
The foundation of my entire business was the free content I created online.
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.
The best way to earn an income from your free content is by creating and selling online courses.
“Is the online course industry too saturated for me?”
Ahh, I get this question a lot!
SEE ALSO:
“What if someone else already created the course I wanted to create?”
OR:
“Why would someone buy MY course when there’s someone else with a much bigger following already selling a course on the same topic?”
It’s a good question, sure, but it’s missing something important: YOU. Think of it this way, why do Pepsi AND Coke both exist? What about Trevor Noah AND Stephen Colbert? Or the zillions of Disney movies that all basically have the same plot?
The reality is that either someone has already created a course on the same topic as you, or someone will. But that’s no reason why YOU shouldn’t create your course. The reason someone buys a course isn’t JUST because of the information they’re going to learn; it’s because of the person teaching it. Read. That. Again.
Now, you might be saying, “Why would someone want to buy a course from little old me when the Oprah of my industry has a course on the same topic?!”
Well, just because someone is popular doesn’t mean their personality, experience, or teaching style will resonate with everyone.
In fact, the things that make you different are also the things that make you profitable!
So, to answer the original question? Nope! The online course industry isn’t too saturated, friend. In fact, it’s estimated that the e-learning industry will be worth $325 BILLION by 2025. Holy cannoli! This means that while more people might be creating online courses, waaaaay more people are buying them, too. So, the people who create courses NOW are in for an exciting surprise as the industry continues to skyrocket!
So, who cares if your course has already been done! It hasn’t been done by YOU, and in the marketing world, that’s a pretty big deal.
I created The Profitable Creator to give you the complete system I used to turn my passion into a thriving business.
I haven’t always had a successful, content-driven business. I know what it’s like to work constantly and feel like you’re getting nowhere. Truuuust me.
When I started my blog, I was a busy classroom teacher living paycheck-to-paycheck in a 300-square-foot studio apartment on a tiny income. I didn’t feel valued at my job and my creativity was withering.
In other words, I. freaking. get. it.
And despite spending all of my time creating free content, I felt like my growth was slow and sporadic.
I looked at other content creators whose growth seemed effortless and wondered what they knew that I didn’t. My content was just as good – so why was no one reading it?
Then, things changed.
After a year of throwing spaghetti at the wall, I started to find my footing. I didn’t realize it at the time, but I was developing a system – one that actually worked – in order to turn my blog into a wildly successful business. Nine months into blogging, I was able to quit my day job to run my blog full time.
Now, a few years later, the community I’ve grown through my blog includes over 350,000 subscribers and followers! Not to mention, I was able to turn my blog into a multi-million dollar business. all because I learned how to use my free content as an insanely effective tool to build an online empire.
The Profitable Creator compiles the most powerful lessons + strategies I’ve learned into a fool-proof, step-by-step method that will turn your content into a money-making biz.
