🌱 Strategy to Scale > Your First 5-Figure Month - Guaranteed
Every day on Twitter, TikTok, and IG, you see creators posting:
“So excited as I am on my way to my first 10K month!”
“It’s half-way through the month, and I’m already at $7,550 in deals; here we come $10k!”
“I can’t believe it, but I just crunched my numbers from last month, and I made $11,475!”
And while you’re excited or them, you can’t help but wonder:
“Why am I struggling to get to $5k months, let alone $10k?”
“What are they doing that I’m not doing?”
“What do I need to do to get there?”
And guess, what?
You are not alone.
I can’t tell you how often I hear creators voice this frustration.
If you don’t have a comprehensive strategy to hit $10k months, then they are nearly impossible to reach.
So today, I’m going to share 3 dead simple strategies you can implement, that will get you to $10k per month - guaranteed.
How can I guarantee this you ask?
It’s simple. As long as you are determined to invest the required time and effort into executing these strategies without giving up, you will make it happen.
Strategy #1 - Upselling
Upselling is a sales technique that involves promoting additional products or services to a client who has already expressed interest in purchasing. The goal of upselling is to encourage your client to purchase another product or value-add service.
When you do this, and both parties benefit. It effectively grows your creative business, adds value to your client, and increases your revenue!
It's your opportunity to extend the partnership and continue to build your relationship with your existing client.
You do this by offering them a special package, bundle, or offering they cannot resist!
Here's what to include in your offer:
Add More Value
The goal of the authentic upsell is to add more value to the overall experience. This, in turn, can lead to increased satisfaction and loyalty, which can benefit your creative business in several ways.
Use Social Proof
This can be done by highlighting the potential impact of the package OR actual results from another client taking advantage of this same package
Give A Clear Call to Action
This is a no-brainer, but it has to be said. Close it out with a killer Call to Action, so they want to reply immediately.
Now that you have your upsell offer, it’s time to reach out to every client you’ve ever worked with and bring in that extra cha-ching to help you get to your first 5-figure month!
Strategy #2 - Affiliate Partnerships
I know there are a ton of affiliate programs out there, and, frankly, a ton of scammers too.
So before joining an affiliate partnership, you must have a solid strategy.
Here’s how:
Step 1: Find the Right Brand Partnerships
To succeed in affiliate marketing, it's crucial to partner with brands that align with your niche and resonate with your audience.
Seek out high-quality products/services that you believe in, as authenticity is key.
Step 2: Target High-Ticket Affiliate Programs
While every sale generated through affiliate marketing is valuable, targeting high-ticket affiliate programs can significantly boost your earnings.
These programs offer higher commission rates translating to larger payouts per sale.
Step 3: Start Posting + Stay Consistent
Create engaging content that integrates your affiliate links naturally and stay consistent. Consistency is vital in affiliate marketing.
You get to decide what content you make and how often!
The more you market, the higher conversion in sales and the more $$$$ you make!
Here are two examples of high-paying affiliate programs you can look into today:
Strategy #3 - Professional Service Offerings
I've been working with dozens of students over this past month to implement one or more of the services mentioned in this newsletter.
Over half of these students have already added $5k+ to their monthly income!
The best part?
All of these students were able to book their new service offerings by pitching to their current or past clients!
So yes, you can get started today without worrying about finding new leads!
Here are 9 examples of professional services you can add this week to get to your first $5k month.
The 4-part series below will give you everything you need to build and launch your professional service this week.
If you add all 3 of these strategies to your business, you won't just get to your first 5-figure month but grow and scale your business in ways that create more income and freedom.

✨ CEO Mindset > 7 Bad Habits You Didn’t Know Where Bad (Until Now)
As a content creator, you know that it takes hard work and dedication to create great content.
But even the most experienced content creators can fall into bad habits - me included!
Here are 7 bad habits that you might not realize you're doing, and one simple way to fix each:
1) You're not being consistent with your posting schedule.
One of the most important things for content creators is to be consistent with your posting schedule. This means posting new content on a regular basis, at the same time each day or week.
When you're inconsistent with your posting schedule, it can be difficult for your followers to know when to expect new content. This can lead to followers losing interest and unfollowing you.
To fix this habit, create a posting schedule and stick to it as much as possible. You can use a tool like Buffer or Hootsuite to help you schedule your posts in advance. You should also make sure to promote your upcoming posts on social media so that your followers know when to expect new content.
2) You're not using relevant hashtags.
Hashtags are a great way to get your content seen by more people. When you use relevant hashtags, your posts are more likely to show up in search results for those hashtags. This means that more people will see your content, which can lead to increased engagement and follower growth.
To fix this habit, research relevant hashtags for your niche and use them consistently. You should also avoid using too many hashtags, as this can make your posts look spammy.
3) You're not engaging with your audience.
One of the best ways to build a relationship with your audience is to engage with them. This means responding to comments and questions, liking and commenting on other people's posts, and participating in relevant conversations. When you engage with your audience, it shows that you care about your followers and that you're interested in what they have to say.
To fix this habit, make time each day to engage with your audience. You should also respond to comments and questions as quickly as possible, and you should be respectful of your followers' opinions.
4) You're not promoting your content.
Once you've created great content, you need to promote it so that people can see it. This means sharing your posts on social media, submitting them to relevant websites and directories, and running contests and giveaways. When you promote your content, you're more likely to reach a wider audience and achieve your goals.
To fix this habit, create a content promotion plan and stick to it. You should also make sure to promote your content in a variety of ways, so that you reach as many people as possible.
5) You're not tracking your analytics.
Analytics are a great way to track the performance of your content and see what's working and what's not. When you track your analytics, you can identify what content is resonating with your audience and what content needs improvement. This information can then be used to create better content in the future.
To fix this habit, set up analytics for your social media accounts and website. You should then regularly review your analytics to see how your content is performing.
6) You're not taking breaks.
Content creation can be a lot of work, and it's important to take breaks to avoid burnout. When you take breaks, you're able to come back to your work refreshed and motivated. This can lead to better content and increased productivity.
To fix this habit, schedule regular breaks into your work day. You should also make sure to take time off for vacations and other personal commitments.
7) You're not being that creative.
It's important for content creators to be creative and come up with new ideas for content. This means being willing to experiment and try new things. When you're creative, you're able to produce content that is unique and engaging.
To fix this habit, challenge yourself to come up with new ideas for content. You should also be willing to experiment with different formats and styles.
By fixing these habits, you can improve your content and achieve your goals.
