My No-frills Approach to Running a Profitable Content Business
|
Hi Reader, My business was bloated. So, this year, I canceled half a dozen SaaS subscriptions. How I loathe bloated software! I also let my team of writers and editors go. Now, I keep things simple. I run my business using a few affordable tools and a virtual assistant’s help. I write emails in plain text files on my computer, so I’m not locked into any one writing app. I use ConvertKit to manage my daily newsletter because it hooks me up with sponsors. I use WordPress to manage my website because I like owning my content. I use Buffer to plan and share content on my socials because it’s easy to use. I use Canva to create images because it takes the headache out of design. I create landing pages using Caard because it’s cheap and has many great templates. And I write offers in Google Docs because they’re easy to share and read. I use a few other basic tools, too, but to be honest, I don’t need them. The above is my digital equivalent of wearing black T-shirts and white trainers. My goal is to build an engaged list and write a profitable daily newsletter. I am working with a select few clients each week who want to add $10k to their business. I help these types of clients… and my business grows. It’s that easy. If you want to strip away the fat in your business and add an extra $10k instead, reply “SIMPLE” to this email. Write on, |
