The Creator Mindset: Part I


Almost a year ago, I started writing about the Creator Mindset, both as a life philosophy and a course that I’m developing. I’ve spent the past six months exploring content creation resources, taking courses, reading books, and working to improve and expand my own brand and online presence, to great success. I am now starting to put it all together into what I hope is a dynamic and valuable course for content creators, particularly teachers and writers who seek to create and audience and sell valuable content to supplement their lives as teachers and writers (sadly, both of these professions are quite low-paying).

The basic idea is that anyone can become a sucessful content creator by focusing on creating VALUE, and also focusing on creating digital content that they love (because content creation is a hard slog, and you won’t succeed unless you love what you’re doing).

There are TEN basic steps to becoming a successful content creator:

  1. Create a polished website or social account that is your main account (mind is this Word Press blog)
  2. Create daily content for a targeted audience
  3. Connect with your audience and community
  4. Provide free products or consultations
  5. Find a simple process (you need a system to ease creation and publication)
  6. Develop your first “offer” (a product or service that you will sell)
  7. Use an existing platform (TpT, Fiverr, Gumroad, Udemy) or set up your own store
  8. Drive people to your new store by creating a sales funnel (more on how to do this in the course)
  9. Continue creating targeted content
  10. Expand to other platforms by breaking content into “bite-sized” pieces (YouTube shorts, Instagram Reels, Tik Tok videos, Pinterest Pins, etc.)
