00:00If you're tired, unmotivated, wondering why the heck did I even start content creation, then this video is for you.
00:10Burnout happens when you're working too hard and you're not making enough money.
00:15It's really what it comes down to. It's very common. It really is.
00:19It reminds me of this book called Quit by Annie Dukes, like a poker player.
00:24It's all about quitting. The best poker players, they fold. They quit at times.
00:31In essence, if you're burned out, you're going to have to quit, kind of.
00:36Change some things around, do things differently for your sanity, which is important.
00:43In essence, what you're going to have to do is work less hard and make more money.
00:51How do we do that? Let's talk about how do we get more done with less effort.
00:55This video is just going to give you a bunch of ideas.
00:58Number one, with content creation, what's so cool about it is you can reuse and repurpose your content.
01:07You can get a lot more views, less effort.
01:10For example, a blog post, that same blog post that you made, it can be posted to LinkedIn and Medium for more views and traffic.
01:19As well as a Quora space, you can take parts of it, right?
01:23You can take your blog post and turn it into an e-book very easily, post it to Facebook groups for traffic.
01:30You can sell it and you can do other things like give it to your email list if you have one, right?
01:35Alright, your blog post can be used for Quora answers, a Quora space, a Reddit post.
01:42Even better if you create your own Reddit subreddit, post it there and then you can cross post.
01:51Boom.
01:52Alright, and what's so cool about a Reddit subreddit that you own is you have more flexibility.
01:58You can put links anywhere and you can create your own rules and it's way better.
02:02Also, you can make a YouTube video from your blog post.
02:07And I do this all the time because the outline is already there, right?
02:10And that YouTube video, you can also repurpose it to Rumble, Dailymotion, there's a ton of places.
02:17You can make short TikTok videos from your concepts in your long YouTube video, right?
02:24And then each TikTok video, you can actually download and then you can re-upload to places like LinkedIn.
02:32They love it.
02:34X, Instagram Reels, Facebook Reels, YouTube Shorts.
02:39There's a lot of places that will take a short little video and you can do that.
02:44So those are some ideas.
02:45And obviously you can go way deeper in the strategy and what I recommend is coming up with a business plan for this.
02:53And you can use ChatGPT to help you out with this and then just work it.
02:59So it's kind of like hunting and killing a deer and then like using every part of the carcass so nothing is wasted.
03:06You use all the content over and over again so you don't work as hard and then you get more views.
03:13Okay?
03:14Those are some ideas.
03:15Some more ideas, you can skip steps.
03:17Like YouTube, Guys and Girls, you don't have to edit your videos.
03:22I don't edit my videos.
03:24It saves me time and energy.
03:26I can just make another video.
03:27Now, if you have like a million views, then sure, yeah, you can edit your videos like, you know, Mr. Beast.
03:34But if you make a mistake, just go with it.
03:36Alright.
03:37That's an idea.
03:38Eliminates a step.
03:39Another way is you can use AI.
03:42Huh.
03:43Yeah.
03:44It's so great.
03:45Like ChatGPT will tell you the titles, the description, you just copy and you paste it.
03:51Your hashtags, your keywords and you just leverage it so you don't work as hard.
03:55Okay?
03:56Those are some ideas.
03:57So how do we make more money?
04:00That's a great question.
04:01Um, well, a few ideas.
04:03One, you could pitch more.
04:05Yes.
04:06Every piece of content, you can have a call to action at the end.
04:10Not at the beginning.
04:12Uh, that's pandering.
04:13Nice.
04:14Do you really want to do that?
04:16Please.
04:17Subscribe or like me.
04:19That's like big it almost.
04:20So, one call to action could be, you know, subscribe or follow if you like it.
04:26That's, you know, it still helps you in the long run.
04:28That could be good.
04:29Um, even better, uh, you can, uh, get an affiliate product and they're all over the place.
04:35There's networks that have tons of them and almost every company has one.
04:38And then in that niche, you can mention the affiliate product and you can make money.
04:43So that's one idea.
04:45Even better, you can create a landing page and there's free software out there.
04:49A lot of responders have gotten a long way since I got started.
04:53They're like free.
04:56Um, and when you collect their email in exchange for a gift, you could send them emails.
05:02Um, and this can boost your conversion rate and you could actually promote multiple products
05:09as well.
05:10So you're going deep, um, as well as you can get people back to your content through email.
05:16And you have to kind of know what you're doing with email though too, because, uh, they get
05:21people to open them and stuff like that.
05:23There's copywriting, there's some training.
05:25And if you know what you're doing, then you can actually, you could pitch in every email
05:29if you know what you're doing.
05:30If you don't, then you're going to annoy people.
05:32So there's training that you need.
05:34So that's just another idea on how to make more money.
05:37Okay.
05:38All right.
05:39Uh, next up is instead of promoting a product where you earn just a little bit of commission
05:44or, you know, a percentage, promote better products that you, you earn more money, higher
05:50ticket items.
05:51There's, there's actually a ways that you can keep a hundred percent of the money when
05:55you promote an affiliate product and you don't have to create the product.
05:59Okay.
06:00It's amazing.
06:01Uh, it's better than OnlyFans.
06:03You know, with OnlyFans, those creators, they keep 80% of the money.
06:07That's still good.
06:08But, um, and I've never been on OnlyFans.
06:10I just looked into it cause I was curious.
06:12Not like I bit, you get what I'm saying.
06:14I just look at the business model.
06:16I'm not on OnlyFans.
06:18So, uh, yeah, it's called a PLR or private label rights.
06:24Um, and it's a really cool thing.
06:26They have, they're all over the place and you could, uh, use it and you can make good money
06:31with it.
06:32So these are some ideas and they all go deeper.
06:35You can go deeper into them.
06:37Uh, so hopefully this might help.
06:39I mean, burnout happens when your internal compass is telling you, you're just getting
06:42a bad deal.
06:43You need to like quit, change some things up, something like that.
06:47And, uh, quitting is not easy.
06:49It's very hard.
06:50It's really has to do with somebody's ego.
06:53They got to say, Hey, I messed up, you know?
06:55And, um, that book, uh, quit by Annie Dukes was pretty good.
06:58It's all about why quitting and certain things could be good.
07:01You know?
07:02Um, anyways, hope this video might've been at least a little bit helpful to you.
07:06Uh, I have some more ideas as well.
07:08Like what helps me is a schedule.
07:11So I'll make a schedule for myself and I'll stick to it.
07:14Boom, boom, boom.
07:15And I'll, I'll schedule time off.
07:18And if you're burned out, maybe schedule some more time off, you know, you know, enjoy
07:23hobbies or whatever, come back a little bit and you could do that as well.
07:28Um, and that, that's why I recommend a schedule.
07:32It works great.
07:33And number also, let's put this in perspective, guys and girls, for the last two years, I've
07:38been cold calling business owners with an offer that was, it was so good.
07:44Um, but whether you think about content creation, whether low views or like troll comments or
07:51just nasty comments, uh, it could be worse.
07:55Cold call.
07:56Cold calling is worse.
07:57Or do manual labor.
07:58I worked at a freezer, you know, at this grocery shop.
08:01And, uh, I'll tell you a funny little quick story to it.
08:05They fired everybody on my team.
08:07Instead of making me the leader, they hired a girl who'd never done my job before.
08:12And she's telling me how to do my job.
08:15That's bad.
08:18Okay.
08:19So it can always be worse.
08:20And, uh, if you want some more ideas on how to make more money as a content creator,
08:25um, I actually created a video on how you can make, uh, well, it goes in this deeper,
08:29make the most money on day one.
08:31No subscribers needed.
08:33You can check this video out and it goes more into how to make more money as a small creator.
08:38And I'll put it on the screen somewhere and I'll put it down in the description as well.
08:42So I hope this was at least a little helpful to you.
08:44Okay.
08:45Um, I wish you the best.
08:46Okay.
08:47Bye.
