I really wish I had a video like this when I started in B2B content:

This B2B content strategy system took me 2 years to fully figure out. 

The video I just published on YT(https://lnkd.in/dV7dBx6H) has everything I do to help my clients:

• Land new inbound leads every week from LinkedIn and long-form content

• Build recognizable, distinct voices in their niches

• Create content that their clients reference during calls.

I also included a workbook you can download and fill out while watching to ensure you get the most out of this.

Grab it. Fill it in. And start creating content that gets you revenue.

Trying not to take it personally tho 🫠

I promised myself that I'll document more tiny wins here in 2026. So, here we go:

The first week of Jan has been hectic af, but also very rewarding:

💃 I crossed 500 subscribers on YT 

💃 One of my shorts performed well (1.6K views in 24 hours) 

💃 I got offered 3 long-term brand partnerships from companies I love

💃 I will be featured in a publication made by a MAJOR marketing tool

💃 I signed a new client for a major YouTube work

💃 I completed the recording and editing of 4 videos, giving me plenty of backlog to make the next batch even better

Guess "slow start of the year" wasn't in my cards this time.

But I'm not complaining.

How's your January going? Flex your wins in the comments and let's feel good together.

This post will probably be a little TMI but whatever, it’s important to me:

For the first time in 8 years, I’m 100% off all my anxiety meds!!!

I’ve been struggling with anxiety my whole life. 

I grew up in a very stressful environment (surrounded by neurotic actors and artists, constantly being judged, traveling a lot, no time for self care etc) 

This affected my life in ways I hadn’t expected it would.

I suffered from panic attacks, insomnia, and depression.

In my early adulthood, I didn’t know what to do with all this emotional baggage. 

I struggled. A f*cking lot.

But instead of letting this just happen to me, I took matters into my own hands:

I started therapy. I consulted mental pros to help me calm down all the demons in the meantime. 

It took a sh*tton of work and dedication to learn how to live with anxiety - and not let it dictate how I live my life.

But starting this month, I’m officially off all the meds.

Now, does it mean the anxiety disappear? Hell nah.

But I have tools now that let me observe it, understand it, and feel safe while this whole process is going on in my head.

Feels f*cking blissful, I’m not gonna lie.

Why am I telling you this?

First, because it matters to me a lot.

Second, because it’s just important to talk about the emotional side of our business journey. 

As much as we like to pretend sometimes we’re invincible - we’re still human. We suffer from things that we don’t always want to share with anyone.

If that’s you, I just wanna say - I see you. I applaud your strength. I’m here whenever you wanna talk.

K, I’m getting emotional, time to go.

$40K+ ARR with only organic content. In one of the most difficult product categories possible:

Breakcold's results speak for themselves. Good content can and will make your company grow – even when your competitors have million-dollar marketing budgets and massive brand equity.

I've been fascinated by Breakcold's content strategy for a while now:

• Strong, founder-led branding
• SEO articles that actually make sense for the reader
• Interactive content for ongoing lead generation 

And so much more. I'm honestly amazed how a handful of people can pull off this level of volume + content quality.

So, I decided to give them a massive shout-out in my latest video. 

I'm breaking down all the elements of their content strategy I could find.

These guys are VERY GOOD at what they do. If you're in the middle of building a content strategy for your B2B product, this is the example to get inspired by.

Confession time: I think adding "book a call" at the end of your post here is one of the least effective CTAs possible. 

I used to end my posts with “Book a call”.

Every time.

It felt… professional.

Like the thing a “real business” is supposed to do.

And it also didn’t work.

I’d get likes.

A few “Great post!” comments.

Zero conversations with actual buyers.

Because “Book a call” is a ridiculous ask when someone just met you 12 seconds ago in a feed.

It’s high friction.

It assumes they trust you enough to give you 30 minutes of their life because… you posted a nice carousel?

Bold strategy.

Here’s what I learned:

Most CTAs fail for one simple reason.

They’re written like a favor you’re asking for.

Not a favor you’re doing for them.

So I replaced “Book a call” with a Utility CTA.

A Utility CTA is a micro-offer.

A tiny asset that helps your buyer take the next step without committing to a sales conversation.

The action is 3 seconds.

Comment a word.

Reply with a keyword.

Click one button.

The payoff is immediate:

👉 A 2-slide internal brief they can forward to their boss.

👉 A risk checklist so they don’t screw up the project.

👉 A scoping question list to prep their team.

👉 A 30-day rollout timeline.

This changes everything because it does two things at once:

It lowers friction.

And it gives you signal.

People who type one keyword aren’t “engaging”.

They’re raising their hand.

If you want examples of Utility CTAs you can steal, comment CTA and I’ll send you my shortlist.

My main prediction for B2B content in 2026 is that it'll become more human-centric than ever before.

But it's the small, scrappy startups that will lead the change.

For me, human-centric means content that feels like the person posting it just jumped off from 10 customer calls.

You can feel the authenticity, because of how specific it feels - real moments, specific solutions, and proof it actually works.

Not “thought leadership” that could be written by anyone.

The giants will still try to force-feed us AI bullsh*t. Guess they have big enough budgets to do so.

Smaller companies cannot afford to dilute their messaging and distance themselves from their customers.

Some examples of companies that are leading the charge right now:

Tella with their community-centric approach to helping their customers be consistent with video.

Breakcold with their founder-centric branding, focused on educating their prospects until they're ready to make the most out of the product

Chatbase with their employee advocacy program + timely, highly relevant social content 

Kuse with their build-in-public approach and user-generated product-led videos on socials

And many, MANY more.

I feel so excited to watch this space evolve this year. And I'll be documenting the best examples on my YT channel (link in my featured section).

If you're currently building a B2B product - what's the one thing you wish to implement in your content to make it more human-centric this year?

The moment you stop assuming what your client feels is the moment your content starts to actually work:

Let’s say you’re targeting startup founders.

The obvious assumption is:

"They fear running out of money."

"They want more revenue."

Sometimes true.

But when you dig deeper, you hear different things.

The real fear is building something nobody actually wants.

The real frustration is feeling like a fraud who’s about to be exposed.

The real goal is proof:

"I’m not just winging it."

And the real aspiration is being the founder people quote and respect.

That shift matters because it changes what you should post.

If your content keeps yelling about metrics,  but your audience is drowning in imposter syndrome, you’re talking past them.

Here’s the fastest question I’ve found to get out of assumption-land:

"Tell me about the closest time you came to quitting?"

Listen for the pattern.

If most answers sound like:

"I felt behind"

"I felt fake"

"I didn’t trust my judgment"

Then your content strategy isn’t about “growth.”

It’s about confidence and validation.

Meaning you should write about:

• What good looks like
• How to know you’re on track
• Signals your product actually has pull
• How to stop second-guessing every move
• How to explain decisions to your team and investors

Assumptions create content about funding and metrics.
Reality creates content about confidence.

10 pieces of content marketing advice that don't mean sh*t:

1. “Just be consistent”

Consistent at what? Posting into the void?

2. “You need to tell your founder story”

Cool. Your buyer still wants to know if you can fix their problem.

3. “Create thought leadership”

Translation: have opinions. But also somehow never offend anyone.

4. “We need to build awareness first”

Awareness of what? Your logo? Your vibes? Your lack of a point?

5. “Let’s make it educational”

Education without a buyer trigger is just a blog-shaped hobby.

6. “We should go viral”

Stop. Just stop. 

7. “We need more top of funnel”

If the middle and bottom are broken, you’re just pouring water into a bucket with holes.

8. “Repurpose everything”

Repurpose the right thing. Not your 900-word manifesto no one read.

9. “We need a content strategy”

If it doesn’t end in a specific utility offer, it’s a document, not a strategy.

10. “The CTA is book a call”

That’s not a CTA. That’s a leap of faith.

What should be number 11 on this list?

Next week, I'm posting a video about one of the smartest SaaS team I've ever met.

And I'm not saying that because their Growth Manager is my bestie (luv u bestie)

They're competing in a niche that's dominated by one giant. The one that even claimed a new verb to signify what their users are doing on their platform (think: googling for Google).

Yet, their tiny team is making big moves to build a product that's not only better - but also much COOLER to use.

And I'm saying that as their user for the last 3 years.

In the vid, I'll break down their content strategy, their approach to communicating the product's value (one of the best examples I know), and their strong community focus.

Can't wait to show the full thing to you.

Demographics are probably the most misunderstood part of content marketing research.

Sure, it's nice to know your customers are between the ages of 35-55, they live in Oakland, and own a Subaru.

But what context does it actually give you to create effective marketing for them?

To gather actually useful demographic data, you have to dig deeper.

Here are 2 (of many) questions I use to find out demographics that actually influence how I talk to my customers and help me build trust with them faster:

For the longest time, I couldn't figure out why some B2B founders are STRUGGLIN' to generate inbound while others seem to have it all figured out.

So, I studied the best ones. Tested loads of their tactics on myself and some of my clients who were keen to try it.

And around ~2 years ago, it started clicking.

Then, I systemized it all and started applying this methodology across all my content strategies.

Almost every time, it worked.

So, in this week's video, I'm breaking it all down for you:

Watch it here: https://lnkd.in/dFGtNhw9

sorry not sorry but these "tips" about content I see here all the time are just weak.

they're surface-level and give you exactly 0 context into what ACTUALLY works in your niche, for your clients, for your specific situation.

from 5 years in this space, I can tell you, there are no 2 content strategies that look exactly the same.

so, swipe through and see what to look out for next time you see an influencer feeding you bs they learned from chatgpt:

9 "popular" content marketing tips that don't work

CRM companies' content is usually... a little (very) boring.

But not in the case of this 5-person startup:

Full video here: https://lnkd.in/g223qdmi

I've created my last YT video for every David struggling with a Goliath in their category.

They have huge budgets - you have huge hopes.

They have giant teams - you have resilience.

They have enormous brand equity - you have your smart brain and wit.

Sounds like it might not be enough, right?

Tella proves otherwise.

They, slowly but surely, are creating space for themselves in a niche that has been dominated by a giant for the last 10 years - Loom.

And the way they approach it is absolutely brilliant.

Here's a sneak peek:

(you can watch the full video here: https://lnkd.in/dep34-wb)

You’ve been told 1000 times to “just post value”. How’s that working out for you?

If you’re tired, you’re not lazy.

You’re just running a system that was never designed to pay you back.

It usually looks like this:

Post. 

Crickets.

Post again. 

More crickets.

Now the crickets have burnout.

And the worst part is the mental math you do after:

"Maybe my hook sucks."
"Maybe I’m not consistent enough."
"Maybe I need a better carousel template."
"Maybe the algorithm hates me."

No.

Most of the time, your content isn’t failing because it’s “not valuable”.

It’s failing because it has no job.

It shows up. It vibes. It leaves.

There’s no clear step between:

"I saw this"

and

"I want to talk to you"

Here’s the fix I use with founders who are done posting into the void.

Give every post one clear job using this simple path:

1. Demand Packet

One tiny story your buyer recognizes instantly.

Trigger. Job. Constraint. Outcome. Proof.

2. Utility CTA

Not book a call.

A tiny yes that takes 3 seconds.

Send a 2 slide brief.

A risk checklist.

A scoping question list.

3. Momentum Loop

Reuse the same packet across LinkedIn and email for a week.

Same message. Same CTA.

You stop starting from scratch.

If you’re burnt out, don’t post more.

Post with a job.

If you want, comment BRIEF and I’ll send you my Demand Packet template plus 6 Utility CTA examples you can steal.

If your story isn’t vivid, it isn’t memorable.

Most B2B content is technically correct. And emotionally invisible.

It’s full of phrases like:

“digital transformation”

“unlock efficiencies”

“improve visibility”

“enable better decisions”

Cool.

So what actually happened?

Because your buyer’s life doesn’t feel like “visibility”.

It feels like quarter end.

It feels like the ops team being one dashboard away from crying in the bathroom.

It feels like someone slacking:

“is this final?”

for the 9th time.

That’s why vague positioning dies.

Not because it’s wrong.

Because it’s not repeatable.

Nobody forwards “We drive transformation” to their CFO.

Nobody says “I read an insightful post about stakeholder alignment” and takes action.

People move when they recognize a scene from their own week.

Here’s the rule I use when I’m writing a story:

If it doesn’t create a picture in your head, it won’t create a reply in your inbox.

So swap this:

“We help teams modernize reporting.”

For this:

“Every month end, your team duct tapes numbers from 4 tools into one spreadsheet.

Finance doesn’t trust it.

The VP wants it by 9am.

And the person who built it is on PTO.”

That’s not “better copy”.

That’s reality.

And reality is what makes buyers stop scrolling.

If you want a quick exercise.

Take your last post and underline every abstract word.

Then rewrite each one as:

1. A moment.
2. A person.
3. A consequence.
4. A specific annoying sentence someone said.

That’s the stuff people remember.

Your skills + The One Page Offer™ + 16 weeks = $10k/mo recurring profit | DM me "ONE" for details

In 2017, my life changed forever – I lost my job due to a freak fire.

And that wasn't even the worst part:

• I was working at a job I hated
• My network was filled with losers
• I was living a terribly unhealthy lifestyle

Of course, I didn't know things were all that bad – until I found myself on unemployment.

The next morning, after I let the dust settle a bit, I told myself that I was going to write for 30 days, no matter what.

30 days turned into over 100 fast.

100 days turned into 5+ years.

And now here I am:

• 7,400+ newsletter subscribers
• 50,000 follower audience on Twitter
• 22,000 follower audience on Medium

And a profitable creator business as a result.

Now – the last thing I'll ever tell you is that it was easy – because it wasn't (and still isn't).

But I'll tell you this: it was simple.

Or – at least it's simple when you understand the:

• Strategies
• Patterns
• Tactics

That help you save time, money, and unwanted headaches.

And that's why I'm here.

I want to teach you what I know. From:

• Copywriting
• Offer creation
• Effective writing
• Audience Building
• Digital monetization

And everything in between.

I can't wait to go on this journey with you.

I'll see you in the timeline & in the comments.

Keep building.

Everyone wants the "one secret" to online success.

Here it is: 

There isn't one.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but:

• I only made $13.50 online in my 1st year
• I was fired from 3 freelance clients
• My mom was my first email sub
• My first post was about wine

"Shortcuts" are a myth.

The internet sold you a lie...

That there's a:

• A hack
• A trick
• A system 

That skips the hard part.

That someone cracked the code and you can just copy-paste their success.

Bull

Success isn't a download.

It's an upload.

You upload:

• Hours of work when you don't feel like it
• Emails to lists of 12 people
• Content that gets 3 likes
• Offers that get rejected

For months.
Sometimes years.

Until something clicks.

Not because you found the secret.

But because you became the person who deserves the success.

Skills compound
Reputation compounds
Relationships compound

But only if you stick around long enough for the compound interest to kick in.

Most people quit during the "boring middle."

Don't be most people.

Put your head down.

Grind.

And never give up.

It will come.

I'm about to say something unpopular.

But by someone desperately needs to...

Don't start a business if you're not willing to:

• Work weekends while others binge Netflix
• Work for free in the beginning (often for 6+ months)
• Invest money into yourself when you're already tight
• Sacrifice time with friends & family who don't get it

Plain and simple...

This isn't motivational fluff.

It's the entrance fee.

I remember my first year clearly.

• Friday nights writing sales pages
• Nights out canceled to hop on client calls
• Vacation money spent on business courses
• Sundays learning Facebook ads (that failed)

My social life became a casualty...

My comfort zone became extinct.

My old identity? Gone.

People started treating me differently.

• "Why can't you just relax?"
• "All you talk about is business."
• "Remember when you used to be fun?"

I couldn't explain it then.

I was building something they couldn't see.

A bridge from who I was to who I needed to become.

• Every dollar invested was a nail
• Every weekend worked was a plank
• Every relationship strain was the price of crossing over

Here's what I discovered on the other side:

If you can push through that season of sacrifice—

You don't just get a business.

𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙜𝙚𝙩 𝙖 𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪'𝙧𝙚 𝙤𝙗𝙨𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙙 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝.

• Work that energizes you
• Time that belongs to you
• Purpose that feels like play
• Money that serves your mission

The irony?

Once you build it, those same people ask:

"How do you make it look so easy?"

Because they only see the destination.

Not the journey.

Most want the reward.

Few will pay the price.

The $100K blueprint everyone ignores (but shouldn't)

It's not:

• Sexy
• Scalable
• Automated

(at least yet...)

But it works every single time.

Here it is:

1. Choose a niche
2. Craft a clear offer
3. Give to 10 people for free
4. Collect testimonials like they're GOLD
5. Convert your next client via content
6. Raise your price by 25%

Rinse and repeat steps 4-6.

(Like... damn near religiously...)

I've watched a thousand creators skip this formula.

They want the advanced stuff:

• Automated funnels
• Course platforms  
• Membership sites
• Digital product empires

Meanwhile, simple service providers are quietly hitting $100K.

Because they understand something crucial:

Your average client value matters more than your client count.

10 clients at $10,000 = $100K
100 clients at $1,000 = $100K
1,000 clients at $100 = $100K

Guess which one is easier to manage?
Guess which one has higher profit margins?
Guess which one doesn't require a massive audience?

The ascending price model is your secret weapon:

Every "yes" at your new price builds confidence
Every client success raises your market value
Every testimonial justifies higher rates

Start at $500.
Move to $625.
Then $780.
Then $975.

By client #50, you're charging $1,500+ for the same service you started at $500.

(and mind you -  25% is just a suggestion - you can always go higher the more comfortable and systematized you get)

Same expertise. 
Same deliverable. 

Different positioning.

Because here's the thing about pricing:

It's not about what you think you're worth.

It's about what the market will pay for transformation.

(Read that again)

(And then again...)

And the market will pay more as you prove your value.

Stop looking for the complex solution

Start executing the simple one

Most creators are one decision away from six figures.

That decision?

Commit to boring.

Everyone wants the six-figure business.

Nobody wants to:

• Post daily for 6 months
• Say no to shiny objects
• Stick with one offer

Which is exactly why most people never get there.

The barrier isn't knowledge.

It's consistency and belief.

I see it every day in my DMs:

• "What about TikTok?"
• "Should I start a newsletter?"
• "I have this new course idea..."

They're asking the wrong questions.

The right question is:

"𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘐 𝘥𝘰 𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘯 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦?"

Because the creators making money aren't doing more.

They're doing the same thing.

Over and over.

Until it works.

Then they keep doing it.

Boring = Profitable.
Exciting = Broke.

Choose boring.

My nephew asked me what I do for work yesterday.

I said: 

"I help people talk to money."

He looked confused...

So I explained it like this:

"Imagine money has ears. Most people are shouting the wrong words, in the wrong places, to the wrong ears, at the wrong time.

I teach them how to whisper the right things."

He nodded like that made perfect sense.

He's six...

Kids get it. 

Adults overcomplicate it.

Here's the simple truth:

Money has four ears:

Copywriting = knowing what to say
Marketing = knowing where to say it
Positioning = knowing who to say it to  
Sales = knowing how to say it

Together...

They make money listen.

Most creators are still shouting:

• "BUY MY THING!"
• "FOLLOW ME!"
• "I'M THE BEST!"

Money doesn't respond to shouting.

Money responds to whispers.

The right message (copywriting) delivered in the right place (marketing) to the right person (positioning) at the right moment (sales).

That's when money leans in.

That's when money says yes.

That's when your wildest dreams come true.

Stop shouting at money.

Start whispering to it.

You’re generating leads. You’re closing sales.

But at some point—

Whether it’s $10K/month or $20K/month—you hit a wall.

Things stall.

And when that happens, the instinct is to think you need more content.

• More posts. 
• More visibility. 
• More engagement.

But the real shift that moves the needle isn’t about more.

It’s about making a fundamental change in how you communicate.

Because there’s a difference between content that generates attention and content that creates conversions.

And that difference comes down to this shift...

From:

• “this is who I am” → to “this is your problem.”
• “this is what I do” → to “this is why your problem sucks.”
• “this is why it’s cool” → to “this is what you should try instead.”

If your content is mostly talking about what you do, you’re making it harder to attract clients.

Your dream clients don’t care about your story until they see themselves in it.

Your audience is already having a conversation in their head.

They wake up thinking about their frustrations, their struggles, and the outcomes they want.

They’re not looking for another expert talking about their credentials.

They’re looking for someone who understands their experience better than they do.

This is why you need to start with your offer.

Because when you deeply understand:

• Who you help
• What you help them achieve

Then you can reverse-engineer your content to meet them exactly where they are.

You’ll start uncovering the stories they’re already telling themselves about:

Their pains
Their desires
Their obstacles
Their frustrations

And when your content enters their world instead of forcing them into yours—

You become the no-brainer choice to solve their problem.

This shift isn’t just about making tweaks to your content.

It’s about rethinking your entire approach so that every post, email, and message serves as a stepping stone toward working with you.

When you stop making content about you—and start making it about them—

Everything changes.

The biggest lie in business:

(It's complete and utter garbage - makes me sick...)

Ready for it?

Here it is...

That you need to be the smartest person in the room.

I know people making $50K/month who barely graduated high school.

And PhD's who can't sell a $97 course.

Here's what actually matters:

• Who you are
• Who you want to help

That's it.

Nothing else.

Who you are = What your offer says about you

Your offer creates your identity:

• Sell productivity systems → You're the efficiency expert
• Sell relationship advice → You're the connection coach
• Sell financial planning → You're the money mentor

Your positioning doesn't come from your resume.

It comes from the problem you solve.

Who you serve = The specific outcome they want

This isn't about age, gender, or income.

It's about the transformation:

• Stressed entrepreneurs who want systems
• Lonely professionals who want connection
• Broke millennials who want wealth

When you know these two things, everything else becomes simple.

Your content writes itself.

Because you're not trying to impress everyone.

You're solving one problem for one person.

The gurus want you to think it's complicated.

That you need:

• Complex funnels
• Multiple revenue streams
• Years of "authority building"

Lies.

Simple beats sophisticated.

Clear beats clever.

Every damn time.

If you think success is about being the best—this will change your mind.

Because here’s what actually creates momentum:

Effort.
Consistency.
And the willingness to look a little stupid for a while.

Over time, that combo beats genius almost every time.

Everyone’s chasing the perfect strategy.

The brilliant idea.

The overnight win.

But most people don’t need a breakthrough.

They need movement.

Reps.
Feedback.
Refinement.

That’s how progress is made—especially when it’s quiet and invisible.

You don’t need more ideas.

You need action.

→ Action that looks boring
→ Action that feels uncomfortable
→ Action that makes you cringe, because you’re figuring it out

But that’s the exact action that builds confidence.

And credibility.

And eventually—results.

Here’s the truth:

→ The consultant who closes $10k clients? She used to flinch every time she pitched.

→ The coach with the waitlist? He made 6 offers before anyone said yes.

→ The creator with momentum? Her first 90 days were pure trial and error.

They didn’t wait to feel qualified.

They just kept going.

If you’re building a solo business, this is what it actually looks like:

→ One clear offer
→ Targeted content that starts real conversations
→ Simple, repeatable actions—done consistently

You don’t need to be a genius.

You need to keep going longer than most people are willing to look unsure.

Most people overcomplicate getting to $10K/month.

They think they need: 

• Complex funnels
• MASSIVE audiences
• Completely unique offers

But I've watched dozens of clients hit $10K with something much simpler:

1. Get one client

Stop building the "perfect" offer. 

Start with one person who has a problem you can solve. 

Even if it's messy. Even if it's not "scalable"

(Yet...)

2. Do a great job

Over-deliver on everything. 
Show up early, stay late, anticipate their needs. 

This client becomes your case study for the next one.

3. Charge more (to get another client)

Double your price. Seriously. 
Your first client proved the value exists. 

Your second client should pay for that proof.

4. Deliver an even better result

You learned from client #1. 

Apply those lessons to client #2. 

Better systems, clearer communication, faster results.

5. Repeat until you make $10K/month

Keep raising prices as you get better. 

$500 becomes $1000. 
$1000 becomes $2000. 
$2000 becomes $5000.

Most people want the complex strategy.

But the simple path works faster.

One client at a time.
One great result at a time.
One price increase at a time.

Until you're making more money than most people with "big" businesses.

Most creators will stay broke...

I'm talking about the creators who:

• Never share their wins
• Rarely talk about their offers
• Hide behind "let the work speak for itself"

They think humility is a business strategy.

It's not.

It's a poverty strategy.

Because the future belongs to those unafraid to self-promote.

They'll:

• Create better content (they know their story matters)
• Make a better offer (not embarrassed by their prices)
• Get more attention (not waiting to be discovered)

And they'll win.

Here's the truth nobody wants to hear:

Your 

• Best work means nothing if nobody knows about it
• Perfect offer means nothing if nobody hears about it
• Expertise means nothing if you keep it to yourself

I used to think differently.

I thought quality would eventually rise to the top.

That customers would somehow find me.

That word-of-mouth would magically scale my business.

I was wrong.

Dead wrong.

The market doesn't reward the best.
It rewards the best-known.

(Double click on that, homie...)

And "best-known" requires one thing:

Showing up
Speaking up
Promoting up

Confidently
Consistently
Unapologetically

Your competition isn't more talented.

They're just more visible.

This system helped me made $18k in one month

(After being stuck at countless $2k - $5k months...)

Most creators think $10K months require:

• 100K followers
• Viral content
• Complex funnels
• 20 different revenue streams

Not eeeeeeeeeeeeven.

Here's what actually works:

One offer.

• Solves one specific problem
• For one specific person
• At one specific price point

One system.

• Content that attracts
• Process that converts
• Delivery that delights

One post per day.

• Speaks to their pain
• Shows your solution
• Invites them in

That's the entire business.

I learned this the hard way.

Spent 2 years creating:

• 3 different courses
• 9 different price points
• Content for everyone (and no one)

Result? $2,800 in total revenue.

Then I simplified:

• One coaching offer
• One sales process
• One post daily
• One email

Result? $18K in month one.

The lesson?

Depth beats breadth.
Clarity beats cleverness.
Focus beats everything.

Your audience doesn't want options.

They want THE solution.

Give them one clear path to their desired outcome.

Then watch them sprint toward it.

Everyone's looking for the $100K secret.

Here it is:

Stop selling what you know.

Start selling what they want.

(Read that again, baby!)

I see creators all day building products around their expertise instead of their market's desperation.

• "I know marketing, so I'll sell marketing courses"
• "I'm good at graphic design, so I'll teach design"
• "I know productivity, so I'll create productivity systems"

That's expertise-first thinking...

And it keeps you broke.

$10K thinking works in reverse:

• What's keeping your ideal client awake at 3 AM?
• What transformation would change their life?
• What would they pay anything to fix?

Then—and only then—do you ask:

"𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘥𝘰 𝘐 𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘐 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸?"

WhAt'S tHe DifFeReNcE?

𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗲-𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗯𝘂𝘆.

Booyah-kasha!

(I hope that send chills down your spine...)

Market-thinking creates offers people throw money at.

I learned this the hard way...

My first offer was "Content Strategy for Creators."

Sounds impressive, right?

I made about $1500 in 3 months.

Then I talked to my market.

They didn't want "strategy."

They wanted to stop feeling like frauds charging for their work.

Same expertise. Different angle.

"Create a One Page Offer™ and validate it with 3 clients" 

was born.

$40K+ in the first 90 days...

Same knowledge
Same person
Same skills

Different offer.

Because I stopped leading with what I wanted to teach.

And started with what they desperately wanted to learn.

Your expertise is the vehicle.

Their transformation is the destination.

Get that backwards, and you'll stay stuck explaining why your knowledge is valuable.

Get it right, and they'll be asking how fast they can start.

If you've been told to "find your niche" and felt paralyzed, this will change everything...

Most creators think a niche is:

• An industry ("fitness")
• A platform ("LinkedIn creators")
• A demographic ("millennial women")

That's not a niche.

That's a category.

A $100k niche is a group with a problem.

Not just any problem.

A problem that:

• They can't solve alone
• Keeps them up at night
• Costs them money daily
• They'll pay premium to fix

When you speak to the problem, the right people immediately think:

• "Holy ravioli, that's me."
• "How did they know?"
• "I need this now."

My student learned this the hard way...

For months, he called himself a "career coach for programmers"

Crickets.

Then she shifted:

"I help programmers stuck in application hell get recruiters to reach out to them with their dream job and salary in hand"

Same skills. Same person. 
Completely different response.

6 new clients within the first month working together...

Because he stopped describing what he did and started describing the hell her clients were living in.

The magic isn't in the solution.
It's in how precisely you can articulate the problem.

Most creators get this backwards...

Here's how to find your $100k niche:

1. List every problem you've personally solved
2. Identify which ones people regularly ask you about
3. Find the intersection of "urgent" and "expensive"
4. Test your language with real humans

Don't ask 

"What's my niche?"

Ask 

"Whose problem am I uniquely positioned to solve?"

The money follows the problem.

The bigger the problem, the bigger the opportunity.

Stop being a generalist hoping someone needs everything.

Start being the specialist people desperately need for one thing.

Picture this scenario:

Two coaches launch the exact same program. 

• Same offer
• Same price point
• Same audience size

Coach A makes $3,000
Coach B makes $15,000

The difference isn't their expertise
It's not their audience 

It's frame control

Coach A: The Commodity Approach

Sends an email: 

"Hey everyone, I'm opening enrollment for my coaching program next Tuesday. Here are the details, here are the benefits, here's the price."

Tuesday comes. Doors open. Then they wait.

The response is crickets.

 By Thursday, panic sets in. 

They send another email with the same details. 

They're begging people to buy. 

Result: $3,000 and a bruised ego.

Coach B: The Authority Approach

Takes a completely different path.

Sends a thoughtful email about a conversation they had with a struggling client. 

• Real problem
• Real insight
• Real value

No pitch. Just genuine help.

And a "P.S."

P.S. "This conversation inspired me to create something that solves this exact problem. Reply 'INTERESTED' if this would help you too."

60 replies flood their inbox.

Two days later: 

"I got an overwhelming response to Tuesday's email. This inspired me to put together something even bigger than I originally planned. I'm creating a pre-registration list. As a bonus, pre-registered people get an extra one-on-one call with me."

100 people pre-register.

Final email: 

"Due to the response, I'm limiting this to 10 spots only. Pre-registered people get first access Monday morning - with their bonus. Everyone else gets access Tuesday - without the bonus."


• Monday morning: 6 spots gone in 3 hours
• Thursday: Remaining 4 spots filled
• Friday: 3 more people wanting in

Coach B lets them in at 10% higher price.

Result: $15,000 and a waitlist for the next round.

Here's the lesson:

Stop launching like you're applying for permission. 

Start creating demand before revealing the offer.

Your audience doesn't want another program. 

They want to be part of something exclusive. 
They want to feel chosen.

That's the difference between begging and building

Between commodity and authority. 

Between $3K months and $15K months.

The money isn't in what you're selling. 

It's in how you position yourself before anyone knows what you're selling.

Most solopreneurs are sabotaging their own income.

Without realizing it. They make two critical mistakes:

They:

1. Don't ask existing clients for more
2. Chase one-time payments instead of recurring revenue

I learned this the hard way.

67% of my income came from people who already knew me.

Yet I was spending 80% of my time chasing new prospects.

Backwards.

Completely bass-ackwards.

Here's what I discovered:

When someone buys from you once, they're 7x more likely to buy again.

When they:

• Get results, they want more results
• Trust your process, they want deeper access
• See transformation, they want acceleration

But most solopreneurs deliver value and disappear.

No next step
No follow-up offer
No ongoing relationship

They treat business like speed dating instead of marriage.

Meanwhile, their best clients are asking:

"What else can you help me with?"

(Even if it's not out loud...)

And getting crickets.

So they find someone else.

Now I design every offer with three things:

• Recurring component for ongoing value
• Clear next step for ready clients
• Natural upsell pathway built in

Result?

I haven't "hunted" for a client in 8 months.

And I help my clients do the same.

Because we built businesses that grow themselves

Too many solopreneurs are afraid of the wrong thing.

They worry about:

• "I need to be original!"
• "I can’t launch until it's perfect!"
• "What if someone steals my idea?"

But these fears don’t kill businesses. What does?

• Waiting too long to launch
• Obsessing over originality instead of execution
• Sitting on an idea instead of testing it in the market

The truth is, your idea isn’t what makes you successful. 

It’s your execution.

Some of the most successful businesses didn’t create something entirely new. 

They took something that already existed and improved it.

• Facebook wasn’t the first social network.
• Google wasn’t the first search engine.
• Apple didn’t invent the smartphone.

They just executed better than their competition.

If you want to build a successful business, your focus should be on:

• A proven offer – Something people already want.
• A proven lead funnel – A system that attracts leads.
• A proven method to convert leads – A way to convert them.

The market doesn’t care about how unique or clever your idea is. 

It only cares about:

• Does this solve my problem?
• Is it better than what I have now?
• Can I trust that it will work for me?

If you have something new, your first job isn’t to protect it. 

It’s to test it.

The Real Business Killer: Inaction

The best businesses aren’t the most original. 

They are the ones that:

• Take existing ideas and improve them.
• Focus on execution rather than perfection.
• Test, iterate, and refine until they get it right.

The biggest risk isn’t someone copying your idea. 

It’s you never acting on it.

Everyone's looking for a complex marketing funnel.

Meanwhile...

The richest solo creators and coaches I know use one step that leads to another:

Reader → Lead → Customer → Recurring → High-ticket

That's it.

No fancy automation.
No 47-step sequences.
No AI-powered chatbots.

Just crystal clear progression:

I call it One Step Marketing™

It's what I use for my own multi-six figure solo business.

And what I teach my clients:

• Reader finds your content (content)
• Lead opts in for deeper value (free)
• Customer buys entry offer ($)
• Returns for recurring solution ($$)
• Graduates to premium service ($$$)

But here's what makes it work:

Each step solves ONE problem.
Leads to ONE outcome.
Makes ONE promise.

(Hence the name "One Step Marketing™")

The magic isn't in complexity.

It's in clarity.

Knowing exactly:

• Who you serve
• What they need
• How you help
• What's next

That's how you build $10k months.

And $20k

And $30k...

Not by adding more steps.

By making each step count.

"Low-ticket is easier to sell than high-ticket."

Not quite... Lemme rip the bandaid off:

No amount of $47:

• Courses
• E-books
• Workshops
• Low-cost bundles

Will create the income or impact you’re aiming for.

Why? 

Because low-ticket products rely on volume.

And here’s the problem with that:

• Volume requires constant marketing
• Volume demands attracting a massive audience
• Volume often results in burnout, not breakthroughs
• Volume relies on going viral (and catering to everyone)

Coaches and solopreneurs who chase low-ticket sales? 

Stay stuck in the grind.

(Trust me – I’ve been there. Hustling, stressing, and barely breaking even.)

The highest-earning entrepreneurs know this secret: 

Selling high-ticket isn’t harder. It’s easier – when done right.

Here’s what makes the difference:

• A clear, irresistible offer that speaks to pain points
• A proven funnel that attracts the right prospects
• A system that converts with a simple conversation

When you sell high-ticket, you don’t need thousands of buyers. 

You only need a handful of committed, premium clients to surpass your income goals.

People are more likely to invest big when they believe in the value and the outcome. Selling low-ticket often positions you as transactional, but high-ticket positions you as transformational.

Shifting your focus from low-ticket hustle to high-ticket clarity isn’t just smarter – it’s liberating.

When you get your offer and funnel dialed in, everything changes. You spend less time chasing sales and more time delivering results.

It’s time to step into the high-ticket space and build the business – and life – you’ve always wanted.

Here's the difference between a $10K and a $100K niche:

$10K niche: 
"I help marketing agencies"

$100K niche: 
"I help marketing agencies whose clients keep asking for discounts"

$10K niche: 
"I serve real estate agents"

$100K niche: 
"I serve real estate agents who generate leads but can't convert them to closings"

$10K niche: 
"I work with freelance writers"

$100K niche: 
"I work with freelance writers who have decent online audiences but are still broke"

Notice the pattern?

The money isn't in the demographic.

It's in the desperation.

People don't pay for solutions to problems they might have someday.

They pay for solutions to problems that are costing them money, sleep, or sanity RIGHT NOW.

When I was selling wine, I didn't approach every table the same way.

• The anniversary couple? Different conversation
• The business meeting? Different approach
• The first date trying to impress? 

Say it with me...

Completely 👏 different 👏 strategy.

• Same people
• Different situations
• Different problems to solve

Your niche works the same way.

Stop thinking "who do I serve?"

Start thinking 

"𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘮 𝘢𝘮 𝘐 𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵'𝘴 𝘴𝘰 𝘱𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘧𝘶𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺'𝘥 𝘱𝘢𝘺 𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘧𝘪𝘹 𝘪𝘵 𝘵𝘰𝘥𝘢𝘺?"

That's not a demographic.

That's a goldmine.

Julius Brown III

Sales happen before you ever talk to someone.

They happen in... 

Your content

Most creators use content to show expertise.
Smart creators use content to eliminate objections.
