Many years ago, I created a course called "Your First 1KⓇ" all about launching your first small product and list-building. In 2024, building an audience and creating your own products has shifted. Today, we're focused on growing our own communities and creating recurring revenue. So I thought, what's the "Your First 1KⓇ" of the new era? ➡️ Get 1,000 free members into your group ➡️ Reach $1,000/month in recurring revenue from a subscription product I pulled together the basics to get started, and I'm gifting it to you as a free mini-course! 🎉 Get started with the Your First 1KⓇ Mini-Course HERE! I'm making this mini-course free for a limited time, so jump in and get started This mini-course even includes a few hand-picked lessons straight from my premium, paid Monetize program - so you can get a sense of what you'll be doing with us inside the Monetize community + curriculum. In this mini-course, you will make some core decisions about your business: - Choose your business model (one-time purchase products or subscriptions) - Choose a pricing strategy that makes sense for your audience size and goals - Choose a profitable product that you'll enjoy delivering, and your customers will love - How to structure a successful subscription offer - How to get your first 1,000 free members - How to reach your first $1,000/month in recurring revenue 🎉 Get started with the Your First 1KⓇ Mini-Course HERE! Let me know your #1 takeaway below! 👇 (*this is NOT any of the same curriculum as the original Your First 1KⓇ course - this is a simple way to get started with creating a free group or a paid subscription type offer. Even if you've experienced the original Your First 1KⓇ, you will want to check this out for some fresh ideas!)

If you had to restart completely your business (audience from zero), what will be your strategy in 2023?

This is the introductions thread. Say hi, tell us what your business is all about! In your introduction, answer these 3 questions: ➡️ What is your name? (feel free to share pronouns if you’d like!) ➡️ What is your business or platform? Who do you serve, what do you sell, etc ➡️ If you were to host your dream party, and the sky was the limit, what would the theme be? We can’t wait to meet you!

For me, I am all about listening to podcasts and reading newsletters! I find those work best for how I take in information. And that's probably why I'm super fascinated by business models driven by podcasts and newsletters! Where do you go for content about growing or monetizing your business?
