Starting a Podcast
Nah! I don't have a Podcast...I blog |
You don't like to get in front of the camera. You just want to share your ideas without writing a word.
How about create a Podcast? You have many paid platforms where you can host your podcast.
But if you want to test the water, here are a few mentionable platforms, Anchor.fm, SoundCloud, libsyn, Podbean etc.
You just need to be clear about the niche you are into and the audience you have in mind.
If you don't have a great microphone, you could record your voice on your mobile phone or laptop.
Download Audacity and edit your voice clip. There are beautiful tutorials online to get started with sound editing.
You will pick up skills along the way, but first get started.
Starting a Newsletter
Join my Newsletter, It is not a funnel and it is Free! |
You may say Chris, I don't want to blog. It is okay don't do that, but if you like writing or podcasting.
You could share it with people and get paid for it too.
You could start a Newsletter. There are many platforms that are amazing to start Newsletters.
I will recommend 2 of the platforms that I currently use as a Subscriber and will probably use the platform in the future (Let's see, just toying with ideas).
The first platform is Substack and the other one is Revue by Twitter.
You can share your ideas, views and take on various events. Create and share exclusive content to your audience.
Once you have a good following you can monetize your Newsletter on these platforms.
The amazing part is a Subscriber gets to sample the content before subscribing. Both of these platforms have list of the previous posts.
The other best part is the monetization. You can charge a subscription fee and even add your domain name if you don't have one.
Now no excuses, Hop on to Substack or Revue get one. DM me and I will subscribe (Pucca promise)
Starting a YouTube channel
Start your own Channel, YouTube is literally everywhere |
This one is obvious. There are many YouTube channels on how to start one.
I would recommend two of my favorite YouTubers, Nick Nimmin and his brother, Dee Nimmin.
They will guide you through the whole game of Vodcasting and you can have your own channel.
DM me and I will subscribe (I will drop some comments too :P)
Starting a community
Life Commune: Free to join, No Hidden Charges! |
This is way down on my list but I think this is the best of the lot.
Starting your own community. Yes you can make it a gig.
You can monetize through a subscription or by Ads.
You can build the group around a Topic or Profession you are passionate about. Then build an audience before you think of monetizing it.
Do offer your experience and value to your audience. You can start with FB Groups, Mighty Networks or even Discord to build your Community.
The Best part is it is absolutely Free.
