Tim Stoddart of SoberNation and CopyBlogger talks about his multiple passive income businesses built off of SEO.
“If you can create content that aligns the solution to the problem with your business or your product, the conversion rate on the people reading your stuff is just so high.”
Big Idea: Passive income is built with SEO. Almost everything else trades time for money.

Treyton DeVore shares many different ways creators can make money.
“When you have diversified income, you have power. Power to say “no” to opportunities that don’t align with your brand and power to flip the switch and stop working on projects that no longer bring enjoyment.”

Interesting look at new Web3 tools that promise to turn newsletter audiences into communities with social tokens.
” If Web3 tools like Coinvise allow for developing tokenized communities whatever the sector, there are also tools dedicated specifically to content creators such as Mirror or Paragraph, which is positioned as a direct competitor of Substack. How so? By offering a complete editor experience with Web2 features — free post publishing, custom domain names… — but going a step further by adding a Web3 brick that was previously non-existent in other publishing tools. Among these new features, let’s mention the possibility of subscribing via a wallet, the integration of NFT memberships, access to off-platform advantages for token holders or even publications hosted on Arweave’s permaweb, which is censorship resistant.”

“I’m always on the lookout for the best actionable tips to help people build and grow their audience.
So I asked on Twitter, “For those who’ve grown over 1,000 followers or subscribers, what is the #1 thing you attribute your success to?”
These are the best replies I got.”
Bonus Idea: Alex Llull also writes about how he auctioned off his sponsorship position after losing a sponsor at the last minute. This is the second time I’ve heard this work.

“Be careful what you do to pay the bills. You might just succeed at it.”
“When you’re afraid you can’t earn a sufficient living from the thing you want to do, you find something else to earn that money for you. But then it’s hard to balance the two, especially if the money is really good. Success can be its own failure. You start a lifestyle business to fund your passion, then the business takes off and now you’re stuck managing employees and a Shopify store.”

“Several surveys have shown that YouTube is one of the most-used platforms for podcast consumption right behind Apple and Spotify.”
I definitely prefer YouTube to Spotify or Apple for my podcast consumption.

“What is Cohort-Based Courses? Who are some popular instructors and what tools do they use? Find out if launching a Cohort-Based Course is right for you.”
Long list of resources about Cohort-Based Courses (CBC)
Big Idea: CBCs get much higher engagement and completion rates than typical courses and also sell for a premium.
