Happy New Year, creators!

Today, we’re going to do something different.

We’re going to do a content recap with this year’s top content that will help you start 2022 on the right track.

How To Build A Loyal Community

Building a community is like building a moat around your business or products. The stronger the community, the harder it is for other creators to compete with you. And some of the largest brands and creators you know scale on the backend of their communities.
So, we broke down the keys to building a loyal community here.

Product Development

Framework For Launching Products

Do you have an idea but don’t know how to convert your idea into a product? Blake Emal laid down the framework he uses to trash the bad ideas, launch the good ones, and how to use social media and email to validate the demand for his products.

Use this framework to test, validate, and launch your products.

How To Launch A Membership

One of the best ways to build a sustainable income as a creator is to launch a paid membership. Memberships create recurring, predictable, and passive income with the potential to compound over time.

We wrote an all you need to know guide to create, launch, and manage your memberships here.

How To Launch An eBook

The Cold Email Wizard’s $245 course first started as a $15 eBook. Launching an eBook is an effective way to test an idea, launch your first product, and start building an income as an online creator. And the best part is that it can be built and launched fast.
To help, we put together a comprehensive guide with everything you need to know to start, develop, and market your eBook.

How To Build A High-Converting Gumroad Sales Page

It can be frustrating to drive ample traffic to your product, but then no one converts. On the other end, a high converting sales page is the gift that keeps on giving. The problem is most creators don’t know how to structure their sales pages and end up having it bottle-neck their growth.
So, we put together a free course that provides you with a blueprint to optimize your sales page from start to finish.

Inspiring Creator Stories
