166. Watch out for THIS Business Advice
- Do more promos!
- Do more deadline extensions!
- Make your purchase buttons bigger!
Watch out for this kind of advice.
- More promos may bring in more money now, but they will become less powerful.
- Deadline extensions will bring in more money now, but you’ll lose trust with your audience.
- Bigger buttons will increase click-through rates but what’s the quality of that traffic?
More money now is not always good.
Focusing on the money will weaken your brand because there’s always a shiny little win that distracts you from your mission.
It takes discipline to say NO.
Stick to your values and focus on your mission. That’s how you build a unique, uncopyable, future-proof brand.
That's what we'll talk about in this episode.

163. ''I Want To Scale Without Having to Be on Camera All the Time''
I went to Vidsummit where some crazy things happened. I also learned that most creators actually don't care so much about building a business (yet). Many of them say ''I want to scale in a way that doesn't require me to be on camera". Let's brainstorm for some solutions! Maybe building a course business?

158. Goal driven courses vs. Entertainment driven courses
If you create content that's somehow educational but that's mostly entertainment, you might have a hard time selling 'goal-driven' courses.
That's because people don't follow you because they want to learn a certain skill, they're just curious or want to be entertained. But what if you created an ''entertainment driven'' course?
