Specifically, I am a fan of planning a month of content at a time - I find that’s the right balance of keeping your ideas fresh and relevant, while also maximizing on your ability to batch your tasks, which overall means spending less time on content creation.Listen to this episode for details on niche and pillars: https://katiesteckly.com/creator-club/build-a-six-figure-content-business-from-scratch-with-this-processI’m going to tell you how to do it in just an hour.

Not only would that be super overwhelming, especially if you were just starting out, but also, not every platform is going to be the best place for you to reach your audience.There are a lot of different platforms out there, but I feel like the main ones that are used nowadays are YouTube, podcasts, Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook. So, in this episode, we are going to break all of these down and really chat about how to choose the best one for you and your brand.Visit my shop page for more details on all of my products: https://geni.us/digitalproductshop ...and interested in the Creatorly Media services - check them out here: https://geni.us/creatorlyservices

Okay - let’s be real, YouTube never feels easier - but, each and every subscriber will be easier to get than your first 1000.Why are these early stages so difficult for growth? It’s because YouTube doesn’t know anything about you or your content yet. In the beginning, it’s like making your very first impression with someone; you don’t know each other yet, your background, your personality, or your expertise - all of that stuff you still need to share, and prove. You’ve gotta built trust.Once you built that “trust” with the algorithm, it will start to recommend your videos more and more, which will help to grow your audience.So today’s podcast, I really want to share with you five steps that will help you reach your first 1000 subscribers the right way, building trust with the platform (and your viewers) in a way that will help you grow more in the long term.Grab the Content Creator Starter Kit here 👇 https://katiesteckly.com/starterkitVisit my shop page for more details on all of my products: https://geni.us/digitalproductshop ...and interested in the Creatorly Media services - check them out here: https://geni.us/creatorlyservices

This honestly was always my dream job. I was an awkward 12-year-old when I first started my YouTube channel, and of course, it’s grown and changed a lot over the years, but one thing never changed: I was determined to do whatever it takes to make this work for me.Now, I know a lot of y’all are working towards being a full-time creator as well - but at the moment, you’re most likely a full-time something else. And unfortunately, it’s not viable for most people to up and leave their job to focus on making content full-time. And look, I would not advise that, actually. It’s probably not going to be the most responsible move. So instead, you need to find ways to balance being a full-time whatever AND creating content, and creating enough content, consistently enough, that you grow an audience that can support you as a full-time creator.I’ll be honest; I’ve never actually worked a “corporate job,” as an adult - but I do know what it’s like to balance content creation with other work. I started really focusing on creating content when I was a full-time student - I was doing a more-than-full course load, working a part-time job, doing extracurriculars, and making multiple YouTube videos per week. (They weren’t necessarily good videos, but hey - I was trying)When coming out of university, I worked as a freelancer doing videography for weddings and even real estate. No matter what I was doing, in my spare time, I was working on building my own content creation business. Eventually, I grew my freelance work into an agency, Creatorly Media - with a team that works with our clients. So even now - I’m a small business owner, and a content creator - and now, I’ve started another brand on the side (my van life vlog channel) in addition to my YouTube channel, podcast, and Instagram.All of this is to say - while I’ve technically never balanced an “adult full-time job” with being a content creator - I’ve certainly had times in my life where I have a lot of different things going on, and I’ve learned ways to prioritize content creation in the midst of all that.Over the years, while working on this, I developed a few strategies that I think will help you grow as a content creator while balancing a full-time job.

I really started experimenting with digital products in 2022 - before that, I really hadn’t ventured into the space. However, my digital product strategy wasn’t very - well, strategic. I sort of was just making products here and there and seeing what stuck. But over the last year, throughout 2023, I learned a lot about how if you just simplify your offering and make sure that it will be actually useful to your community, you will see a change in sales.Today I am excited to share how I went from $0 in digital product income in 2021, to $80,000+ in the last two years in digital product sales, and how you can implement the same strategies to make digital products a part of your income streams as a creator.Visit my shop page for more details on all of my products: https://geni.us/digitalproductshop ...and interested in the Creatorly Media services - check them out here: https://geni.us/creatorlyservices

That's pretty much what happened to my Instagram in 2023. I thought to myself, "If I can hit 50K followers by the end of the year, that would be great." Just for context, I started with around 35K followers at the beginning of 2023. But once I stopped putting pressure on growing, that's when I saw the most growth. It all started with trying something a little different, and honestly, this one thing shifted my entire Instagram strategy. So, today, I want to walk you through this strategy and how it helped me reach 100K followers before the end of the year.

Despite the various motivations behind why we want to become creators, I would say most of us agree that we also need to bring in an income. When we see all of these other creators out there bringing in six figures of revenue each year, it's hard not to want the same.Visit my shop page for more details on all of my products: https://geni.us/digitalproductshop ...and interested in the Creatorly Media services - check them out here: https://geni.us/creatorlyservices
