In this episode of The 10k Creator, we’ve caught up to the current phase of Daren’s content business, Craftsman Creative. We get a unique look into the “state of the union”, where he’s at with his audience growth and his monthly revenue.
Joe talks about the importance of finding predictable sources for traffic that lead to audience growth, and lists a number of ways to diversify your income as a content entrepreneur.
Your job as a creator, surprisingly, is only ~25% about making content. The rest is about being a business owner, and taking responsibility for your growth and your revenue.
At the end of the episode, Joe announces a surprise for the next few episodes, and leaves Daren with a challenge to report back on in a future episode.
The 10k Creator is sponsored by three amazing companies.
