How to No Longer be Dependent on Employers for Your Income or Your Worthiness as a Human Being
Let’s say you have a pretty daughter, late teens or early 20s and she’s learning culinary arts. She starts a baking channel on the socials. She grows her following WHILE she’s schooling.
By the time she gets out and is ready to hit the workforce, her channel is blazing along. Potential employers and publishers see her content out there. When a well-known in the niche asks for someone with social media influence to apply for their job position, or gig, she’s got it in the bag.
Five years down the road, it’s time for your girl to move along. She’s finished at her current company. She still publishes her recipes online, and now she has a blog following, too.
(Listen, a blog is not a diary. It’s an independent version of what we do here on the FB… make posts and publish them. On our website.).
Content Creator Roadmap to Success
Google picks up the content and indexes it. So your daughter gets found by people who want to know how to make lemon curd, chocolate mousse, the perfect soufflee, cupcakes from scratch and all of these searchable recipes using THOSE WORDS.
So when your girl sees an opp for someone to host a cooking show, or be a paid blog contributor, or work for The Cooking Channel, she jumps.
She says, “Hey, check out my work… she’s got it all in place. She took the pics, she made the videos, she’s got niche-friendly content. She’s lovely, poised, presentable, great speaking voice, talented… she cooks! She’s got it going on!
Become the Influencer. Shake Loose from Your Dependence on a J-O-B
This what I mean about NOT SITTING THERE passively, working for someone else while you remain invisible. If you’ve got mad skills, or if your kids or your friends do, put it out there. We have the INTERNET, you see? Opportunities abound! No ceiling on this.
Get a website! Start a channel! Record the amazing things you create, grow, build.
Grow your list. Share your tips. Write content that helps people. Make ebooks and courses online, and sell them.
