Turn Your Knowledge Into Income Before Building a Massive Audience

Think you need thousands of subscribers to start making real money in your online course business? Think again! 🚀

If you're like many course creators, you've been told that “the money is in the list” so many times that you might be waiting until you hit some magical subscriber number before launching your offer. But here's the truth: you can start generating revenue with the audience you have right now, even if it's tiny.

In this episode, I'm sharing the exact strategies I used to generate almost half a million dollars in a year before I ever built a substantial email list. Plus, I'll reveal how some of my clients and colleagues are creating consistent income streams with creative audience-building approaches that don't depend on massive subscriber counts.

“The secret to making money online is to build an audience and to make them an offer. If you have an audience and you're consistently making them offers, then you should be making money.” ✨

🔥 In This Episode:

  • Discover why waiting for a large email list could be holding your business back unnecessarily
  • Explore how to leverage content curation as a monetization strategy (even if the original content is free)
  • Learn how to identify your unique “superpower platform” where your audience naturally engages with you
  • Uncover the surprising reason people will pay for information you've been giving away for free
  • Get inspired by real examples of course creators who built profitable businesses without large email lists

Grab your favorite coffee and join me for this myth-busting episode that might just change how you think about monetizing your expertise! ☕️

A person relaxes on a pink inflatable ring in the water, working on a laptop. They wear white sunglasses and a white swimsuit, suggesting that even here, their mind is on how to make money with a small email list. With one hand raised to their lips as if sipping a drink, the water around them is clear and calm.
