Let’s Talk Content Creation: Getting Started, Sustaining Influence, & Making Money at Any Size
#202. In this solo episode, I’m breaking down everything I’ve learned from 10 years of creating content online — from blogging in 2016 to building a six-figure brand today. Whether your goal is to become a full-time influencer or just earn some extra income on the side, this episode is your permission slip to start. We’ll talk pivots, sustainable growth, the real ways people make money online (even with a small audience), and why you don’t need to be famous to build something powerful. If you’ve ever thought “I could do that…” — you can. Here’s how.
