In John B's group, @Gc Tsalamagkakis shares something interesting that I've been wondering about for some time myself: How much can or should you share in communities? For example, if you have a quick update, you may go to social media and share that. For those of up not on social media (at least, not in any meaningful way), where is that quick update place? I don't want to just share a quick one-liner update in my emails... But now that I have this community, I can come here and share updates. And honestly, that would be cool, and I want my members to share their quick wins and updates, too! What I don't want is people posting whatever that has nothing to do with their business or writing... it has happened in the past when I removed the user... but it feels icky to do so... Anyway... you are the members of this community and you get to choose what the community should look or behave like... what are your thoughts???

A couple of days ago, I ran a poll where I asked about your biggest bottleneck. The bottleneck that got the most votes was this: "Not knowing what to write about." So, let's fix it, shall we? ===== 💡 How to come up with topics to write about: If you have an education business, each piece of your content should do two things: - teach (for building authority and trust) - and promote (for direct sales or product awareness) To do that, start with your offer. What are you selling? Let's say @Gc Tsalamagkakis (sorry dude, I'm gonna pick on you) is trying to sell his newsletter hitlists (this thing right here → https://tsalamazing.com/hitlists). I can think of at least 10 blog posts GC can write just for that (and then link to each other for SEO). For example: - 10 benefits of growing a newsletter using newsletter ads - How to vet a newsletter (or 5 red flags you shouldn't advertise on a newsletter) - 10 reasons newsletter ads trump social media ads - A head-to-head comparison between growing your audience with newsletter ads and social media ads - When is it better to use social media ads over newsletter ads (then sneakily promote the newsletter hitlists tool) I don't want to brag, but there's plenty more where this list came from. And to the people who complain about creating but not making money, I say this: Start with your offer! And if you do not have an offer, then that right there is your problem. Fix it first, and fix it quickly. Anyway. I just solved your "don't know what to write" problem. You're welcome. ===== Now, for good measure (and my own accountability), here's what I've planned for my own content game: ----- ❤️ The Side Blogger The Side Blogger gets a heart because it is my primary channel and asset, and the platform that drives the most conversions. My content goals with TSB: - 1-3 posts per month focusing on a thing I sell (my own product or the membership). These posts are part teaching (for building authority) and part promoting (some will buy, others will at least join the list to learn more).

Question: If I helped you, in a cohort setting, to get 50 - 100 brand new subscribers... in the next 1-3 months, would you be interested? Basically, I'll help you with your funnel setup (lead magnet, offers, distribution/discovery channels, all that). If you're interested, DM me or leave a comment here, and I'll reach out. Cheers ✌️

If this isn't allowed please feel free to delete, I won't be offended. This is not to be dramatic or anything, I'm just being factual. I have been harassed by someone for about a month. I keep blocking, they keep using alternative emails to contact me, sign up for my newsletter, etc. Does anyone know how to find an IP address and if that may resolve this issue? It's getting annoying. I'm moving away from kit to a different option, so I figured this would be the time to figure out a solution.

Looks like some of you had fun with last week's pledge. So, here's a new content pledge for this week. Blog posts, emails, offers... what are you writing? Share below, and then... Go nuts!
