In the corner of the internet you make yours It's very important to get good

at thinking like a maker like the stuff that you're creating Where is that going Meaning is

going behind that This thinking is more than just being positive It's a plan for making

stuff your own brand talking with people who watch what you're putting out there by getting some

ideas you can change not just your work but also your chances of being successful You can hire those chances

we will look into how to grow a maker creator mindset how it can be

the key to your success in the busy creator economy Before we do that I

encourage you to sign up for the part time digital business sponsor of this episode

And the newsletter newsletter is made for creators made If you're looking to grow digital products build

a digital brand online you can find links in the description for that Let's start with getting the

change you need going from Watcher to a maker going from consumer to creator You must start to look

at yourself as a person who comes up with ideas not just someone who takes ideas this

means that you have to believe in yourself and you always need to be learning

always need to be growing Start by taking time every day for thinking for brainstorming putting things down on paper

have a diary or an app for notes ready to write down thoughts no matter how big or small instead

of thinking I don't have a good thought I can't come up with an idea I can't come up with

content Every thought is a seed that will grow bigger and bigger Try different tools

for making different things and learn a new ability or feature every single week This keeps your creating fresh

This keeps your skills sharp You can start with content How do I write articles How do I post them

on a blog How do I create a newsletter How do I create videos How do

I create short videos There's so many different things If you focus on one a day you can really

start to build this really start to grow this Now how do we go for

steady regularity How do we be more consistent It's important to create often It's also important

to make sure it sounds like you and the people watching are liking it find

the main topics or areas you focus on that show off your brand make a plan for those

areas where you plan to post ahead of time You also want to leave some space

for different changes different thoughts that may come in Maybe trends different things in the news

depending on your brand always leave that extra space to stay steady pick quality over quantity Ask yourself will this

thing I post make my watchers happy make my audience want to come back before you put it

out there You also want to look at social media to see what kind of stuff gets

like the most and then change your plan as needed It's important to track these metrics and track

these analytics If you are creating a brand on fitness and you start posting on

how to be a better writer there's nothing wrong with branching out But if it

was me watching your content I was coming there to get fitness specific content and you started creating on

things that were not fitness or semi related in a sub niche or a sub niche down You

would lose me watching your content because I didn't come there for that You may know other

things you may be skilled in other things but I highly recommend you niche down

especially in the beginning If you don't it's just going to take that much longer to find

that core audience and build that core audience Let's talk about creating a community and not just people

watching talking think of it as currency of the creator economy try to make a community and not just

people watching What does this mean You're making relationships with your audience through maybe chat you

can put out polls Q and A with the easiest way is in the comments pay attention

to what's in your comments on your articles on your videos on your posts reply to those and

like those even if it's one or two that's absolutely fine Everybody starts off there Nobody

has hundreds of comments right away But this is where you start to interact and this is where you start

to build that community Understand that every comment is a person trying to make that connection So spend

time each week to talk with other creators other makers in your field This can lead to collaborating

to sharing swapping ideas use messages smartly to connect with active watchers your active audience You can do this

on a more personal level which will make them more loyal and more interested in your brand Let's talk about

trying to find new things and being more flexible When you go to the online world it's changing all the

time Creators who do well long term are those that really know how to adapt and really try new things

Don't be afraid to try new things Look out for new things You can share changes in

how you're sharing them and how your audience is consuming Instead of being scared of

changing things you could see it as a new opportunity you can try new ways

to make video maybe you're making long form video like this you can learn how to chop that up post

that out into shorts This is giving people another option to watch another option that may fit better

for that target audience It's all about reaching your audience everywhere they are at and getting good

at that and doing that in a very manageable chunk of time that doesn't consume all of

your time Ask yourself what's new that I can put into my content that I don't already have in

there or how can I reward the message How can I represent the message once you get

good at what you're doing the message should become mundane on some level because you're

talking about it so often remember though it might be mundane to you but it's not mundane

to that watcher Your audience coming in wanting to learn ask your audience what they think to stay close

to their needs and likes you can do this with simple surveys You you can

do this with some cold outreach as you build a core Don't be scared to change a certain kind of

content or a certain way you're presenting is not working your ability to change can and

should lead to more creativity and growth So in the end of all of this taking on

and making a better creator mindset better maker mindset is a journey It will make your

online presence stronger If you just stick with it it's about liking the process you're going through itself

even though it might be frustrating Sometimes get deep into your creation get deep into your audience what your

audience wants to see and stay up on the online world and how it's changing It will

continue to change You can continue to present your message in a way where everybody wants to watch

where your audience is continually engaged and that can accelerate your content and accelerate the process Just

remember every thing you make is a step towards reaching your personal goal your work goals So keep

creating you want to keep connecting and keep changing your content up by doing these things by following these roles

and by sticking to that yourself you're going to attract a wider more broad audience You can target that

audience even better which will ultimately lead to more growth more follows and more sales If you would like
