Quick takeaways

Belief in the product is key when selling, avoid being pushy by presenting offerings confidently.

Creators can create generative assets to scale their businesses and rely less on time-based revenue.

Focus on creating unique content for a podcast rather than seeking big-name guests to develop a distinct and engaging show.

For this audio episode, we are going to dive into questions that I got from the lab, from Instagram, from LinkedIn, Twitter, and threads.

Now this is actually a part 2. The first half of these questions I recorded in video format with my producer, Connor. We took a lot of the questions from YouTube and about YouTube and we prioritize those for a video episode on the channel.

But before we get into that, I have a couple of things that I want to tell you. Thing #1, if you are not already subscribed to the Creator Science newsletter, please do so. You will like it. Almost 60,000 creators subscribed to it already.

Thing #2, I've spent the last couple of months building a new product called Creator HQ. And this is a templatized version of my personal Notion setup that is how we run the entire creator science business. It's what we use for task management, content preparation, content publishing, content repurposing, and much more.
