Go From ZERO to Full-Time Content Creator in Less Than a Year ($65K in 9 Months)

[@RachelHarrisonSund]

Are you looking to go full-time as a creator this year? Let me know in the comments!

[@TaylorHaselton]

Yes! I got laid off in January and would rather work for myself fulltime than go back. I don't make enough yet though... Once my severance runs out I either need to have enough online or get another job. I am trying! I need to make about $2k a month to do this fulltime. I make about $350 a month right now.

what is good video editor?

[@LearnEnglishWithJess]

I would love that! I'm doing my research now on how to do it :D

[@nealnoir]

Thank you so much for the advice!

[@PurpleGypsyProductions]

Can't thank you enough, Rachel, for your positivity, encouragement, and true-to-life advice on become a KDP author/publisher! I started following your advice about 2 months ago, have published 4 books (with 3 more in review with Amazon), and have already made a handful of sales on the first two books that I published!! I can 100% say that wouldn't have been possible had it not been for following the practical guidance you provide on this channel. I'm very excited about this new venture and ready to work hard! THANK YOU!

[@RachelHarrisonSund]

Wow, I am smiling from ear to ear right now!!!! Thank you sooo much for such kind words! And congrats on those first sales, that's so exciting! Yay! Keep me posted on your progress. :)

[@PurpleGypsyProductions]

@@RachelHarrisonSund OK, well now you've got ME smiling as well! :) Thank you for your reply; I will definitely let you know how things continue to progress! I'll try to drop you an email with a bit more of the "details" sometime soon! Thank you again for your wonderful guidance!

Packing a business plan in 15 minutes is quite a feat, and summarizes why I purchased LCPA from you. I have published a couple of coloring books so far (no sales yet, sigh!) I understand why you're trying shorts, but they don't work for me. I might go for them, as you say in the video, to try to gauge interest in my content. Thanks!!

[@RachelHarrisonSund]

Thanks for watching! Keep trying; coloring books are a competitive niche, so don't be afraid to try out some others. You'll likely need to experiment before hitting on a niche that really works for you. Also, know that anyone who's had any success with LCP will tell you that they've had a LOT of books that made no sales. HALF of my books have never sold a single copy, but the other half more than makes up for it. A recent student of mine didn't make a single sale on her first 30 books-now she's making 11K / month. Her success story is on my channel if you haven't seen it.

This is fantastic! Thank you!

[@dgtlwriter]

Loved hearing you say that content should be posted where your audience is. Absolutely so simple and something I haven't thought about before 😆 Off to Insta I go!

[@TaylorHaselton]

I really want to create a digital course. Any tips or videos on how to start that? I don't have any money to put up front for it and that's my issue right now. Everything I find costs money to have a course. Thank you!

[@TedOtis]

Thank you so much. Amazing deep dive! Very grateful!!

[@RachelHarrisonSund]

Thanks for watching!

For your KZbin videos, do you edit them yourselves or have someone do them for you?

[@jules3048]

This is really great info tnx! One question, as a beginner content creator would u recommend making offers right away or wait until u have an audience??

[@RachelHarrisonSund]

Great question! Start making offers as soon as you have an offer- even if your audience consists of just 1 person. Things will pick up momentum over time, but get the offer out there as soon as it's ready so that you can test its viability and iterate over time. Pre-sales are a great idea as well; you can test the offer's viability before you even create it.

[@jules3048]

@@RachelHarrisonSund great info. Tnx for answering the question! I wasn’t sure if it would put people off and a person should wait til they had a “connection” with an audience to make an offer to them.

[@robrowan3914]
