So many people jump into content creation without a strategy. But the businesses that actually earn money online are the ones that understand what content connects and converts.

Is it possible for your content to make you money? Can you create content and make lots of money from it? Well, there are many instances of people making money through social media and even business owners and entrepreneurs can attract clients and customers to increase sales through their social media post. And if you're an entrepreneur who uses any social media platform, you are probably wondering how you can attract more clients and customers to your business. Maybe you have a physical product or a digital product and you'd like to earn income from it.

You could also be doing services such as online consulting or in person group master classes and you'd like to figure out how to make more people aware of what you do and get people to either work with you or buy from you. But if you are listening to this, you're most likely struggling to get exposed to more people or you're not making as many sales from your business as you'd like. And maybe you think it's challenging or even impossible for your business to make income through social media. I believe it is possible and whether you are an entrepreneur or an online creator or creative, you can make money, sell products or services to others, and make money from it. And today, I will be teaching you how you can achieve that.

I will tell you what you need to do in order to make money from your content. Now the primary purpose of a business is not just to sell to people or to a specific audience. Although, many entrepreneurs believe that the primary purpose of a business is to sell and get people to buy from them. And if you also believe that, I'm here to tell you that that is not the primary purpose. The primary purpose of a business is to solve a problem or to provide a solution to others.

And when you understand that as the main purpose of your business, it will be a lot easier to generate income from your products and services through your content. And now that you understand the purpose of a business, the way in which you can make money from your content is to market your knowledge or skill. And you're probably thinking, what does that mean? It means that you get people interested in what you know or what you do because the person who is either watching you or listening to you or interacting with you, they want to gain a similar result that you have gotten from a particular skill or knowledge. And the people who come across you or your business want to know whether or not you can help them to get what they desire.

And so with your content, whether you're on TikTok or you're on Instagram or you're on YouTube or whatever social media platform you are using, you can market the skill or knowledge that you have. Maybe your skill is that you know how to cook and so you record videos of yourself cooking different recipes. And when the recipes you make are of interest to a group of people, once you have shown to them that you know how to make meals that they also want to make, you can sell a recipe book of various types of dishes or cultural foods. And if you post cooking videos on YouTube, once you get monetized, you can also make money from YouTube. And apart from having a skill, if you are knowledgeable in any subject such as investing and you have personal experience in that field, you can share what you know in your content.

And that could look like making posts on how to use different investment apps as a beginner. Or you could share what you've learned from reading different investment books. Or you could even talk about the biggest mistakes you've made in investing so that other people who are listening to you don't have to make the same mistakes you made. And because there are a group of people who want to learn about investing and they see that you have the necessary understanding and experience to teach them, they will pay for your course if you were to sell one or they would pay to join your online investment training program. People are seeking what you know, and it's not about the product or service they are paying for.

It's the solution. It's the experience. It's the result, and it's the transformation they will get that they are paying for. Like I said in my introduction, the primary purpose of your business is to solve a problem or provide a solution. And there are many people with problems in the world that they are seeking to solve or changes they want to have in any area of their life.

And as you are listening to this, you are probably thinking, I am providing value, but my content isn't that great or my YouTube videos are not the way I'd like them to be or even my YouTube or my TikTok videos are not getting as many views as I'd like. But as there are many other content creators just like you who create the similar content that you make, You could also watch YouTube videos on how to get better at editing. You could watch YouTube videos on how to create better content. You can learn from other creators who have been in your shoes and who have gone through the similar experience that you're currently going through in order for you to learn and get better at your content. Similar to how you are providing value to others by teaching them what you know or what you can do.

The same way you can learn from other creators so that you can get better at a particular skill or you can gain more knowledge in whatever it is that you wanna grow in so that you can do better in your business. Just like you are teaching other people based on what you know and what you're able to do, the same way you can gain knowledge and skill from another creator in whatever area you want to improve upon. Maybe you are making videos for YouTube or for TikTok or for Instagram and your editing skills aren't the best, or you want to find another editing software or another editing app if you are making videos on your phone, and so there are other creators who can teach you how to use better apps or how to use certain softwares to make better editing videos. Maybe you post content on Instagram and you don't have the best writing skills in order to engage an audience, and so you could hire a copywriting service or an agency, or you could even watch other content from other creators who teach about writing skills or who teach about copywriting techniques in order for you to learn and get better at writing better content for your Instagram or even for any other social media platform that you are using for your business.

And when people see that you take interest in helping them to learn a skill or you are able to guide them to a transformation they aim to achieve, those people who are listening to you or watching you or interacting with you, they will have no problem paying you. And that is because they value the solution or the result more than the money. But, on the other hand, if you focus more on gaining from others than providing value to them, it's unlikely that you'll make lots of money in your business because people will be able to tell when you only want to take money from them without giving something in return. And another thing that will prevent you from making consistent money in your business is not delivering on your promises, whether that is in your product or your service. And I've personally heard of many stories of people who paid money for a product that didn't work or they paid for a course that didn't teach them what they needed to learn or some people paid to work with another individual, another entrepreneur, and the entrepreneur didn't deliver on their promises to their clients or their customers.

Maybe you can think of one or two businesses that you bought from or a coach or consultant or even a trainer you've paid to work with, and the experience you had with them wasn't the best and you didn't get the result or transformation that you paid to receive. I bet because of that experience you went through, you didn't buy from that business or from that entrepreneur again or you didn't even recommend the business or the entrepreneur to the people that you know. And I'm mentioning this because if you follow that kind of path in your business, you'll more likely drive people away from your business and build a bad reputation for yourself. But when you genuinely care about helping people succeed and providing value for your content, whether you create Instagram posts or Instagram reels, whether you have a podcast and you share your podcast on YouTube or Spotify or any other platform, Maybe in your business, you have a service and so you work with clients one on one to help them to excel in their business or to help them improve their SEO strategy or you help them to write better words if you're doing a copywriting business.

Your business will not only grow, but your content will be a source of increasing awareness for the products or services that you offer. Many people are not going to buy a product or service from an entrepreneur or from a business that they haven't trusted or they haven't built the attention on. So when you are able to build attention and engagement with a particular audience and you are able to show to them that you are the right person that will help them to get what it is that they desire, eventually, they will be able to give you their money to pay to either buy from you or to work with you to get the result that you have gotten from the skill or the knowledge that you have built in your own life. And so when you're able to do those things consistently, you will see changes in your business. You will see that your business has grown to become a reputable brand.

You will see that you will begin to be recommended by your customers and your clients to other people because you have shown to your customer and clients that you are a reliable person or your business is a reliable business and your business is trusted. Your business is, honest, your business fits the standard that the customer and clients are looking for. And not only is your business reliable, but your business is worthy enough to give the people what it is that they want. And so when you are able to do that for a particular customer or a client, that customer and client will recommend you to other people. And so when you are being recommended to other people, your business will begin to grow not only from your content but also through recommendations.

That is another way in which you can make money from your content because not only will your content reach to people directly, but as you are making more content and as you are improving on your content, the people who consistently engage with your content and who buy your products or your services and they see that you are reliable, you are a trustworthy person to work with or to buy from, you'll be recommended to other people that your clients and customers have purchased from. Because when you build trust and integrity with your current audience, that will create the foundation for you to build a successful and reputable business. And when people have first paid you with their time and attention by watching your videos or reading your post, eventually, they will pay you with their assets to have access to the knowledge and skills you can provide. And by doing that consistently over time, you will be on your way to making a lot of money, not because you focused on the money first, but because you focused on providing value first. And I hope this message helped you as it was my aim to assist you in making your business get better and teaching you what I know so that you can see the results you desire to have.

And if you enjoyed this teaching, make sure to stick around. And until you hear from me again, take care for now.
