I’m starting to take the grind seriously. I know I’m a good author, but the thing killing me is a lack of volume. I recently got a verified X account so I can tweet and get a following. If nobody knows what you have to offer, you won’t make any money.
Right now I’m just focused on creating content. At a volume higher than ever before. I work 6 hours a day Monday to Friday. I have so many hours that I could be putting into writing content. Also doing spaces on X. The real work is consistency. At the beginning it’s a real grind. You need to trust that good will come out of the chaos.
Getting work out there is key. I want to write books and make money online. First I need to decide who I’m serving with my products. But the clarity will only show up as you go along. Starting small is the first step. Success is a result of repeating what works. You still have to find out what does work.
Blogging is not a primary way to get eyeballs on your products anymore. Social media is how you get people to see your blog.
So building on X and YouTube is the key. Getting a genuine following is more important than getting a high count. Finding a niche where you are helping others is the secret. Use what you already know and go from there.
To your success,
Angus
