Episode notes

Sometimes we all need advice from those who’ve paved the way and came before us. As a creator, we all struggle with building a presence, listening to our audience, and following our passion versus following a dollar sign.

In today's Q&A episode, Charli, Miguel, and Haley answer your questions about the best way to turn Twitter followers into email subscribers, when to monetize, what to do if you're camera-shy, where do I start, and more!

“(The best medium) goes with whatever you feel the most excited about creating. Because it’s hard to get started and it’s hard to keep consistent once you get started. And so if it’s something that you’re enjoying, then you’re more likely to keep going.” ~ @charliprangley

Main takeaways

Offer something unique or exclusive in your emails to incentivize followers on other mediums to subscribe.
Your audience will tell you what they want from you, but you can also listen to your audience and choose to pivot your services or your offering. Sometimes it’s better to stick with your passion rather than answering the beck and call of every follower.
Practice makes perfect when it comes to being comfortable in front of a camera. And remember, no one is judging you as harshly as you’re judging yourself.
The medium that’s best for you depends on how you want to monetize and what your product or skill set is.
There’s no perfect time to start being a creator. Don’t get ready, just get started.
