[new essay] How to go from just another creator to multi-six-figure entrepreneur
|
I first heard the term ‘Creator Economy’ when a friend sent me Naval Ravikant’s podcast How to Get Rich Without Getting Lucky. As someone who felt trapped in his career, Naval’s ideas shone like a beacon in the fog. “You can go out on the internet,” he explained. “And you can find your audience… build a business… create a product… build wealth, and make people happy just uniquely expressing yourself through the internet.” But the truth is few people make it as a creative entrepreneur. Most of the results go to the top 1%, whilst the rest are left fighting for the scraps. For example, recently, I surveyed my audience — only 8% had monetized. In 2022, Linktree published a report showing that only 12% of full-time creators make more than $50k. There's a divide between commodity and authority creators, and it's only stretching wider. That’s why I’ve written an essay breaking down how to go from step 1 — a complete beginner in your niche — to building a multi-six-figure business around your interests. I’m no expert, but I share everything I wish I had known when I started. Take a read — it’s free: (plus, welcome to my new website!). Hope you enjoy, Kieran P.S. This is my first essay.

To scale your business, you must know how to sell through email. You can’t rely on social media or cold outreach. And if you want a great long-term relationship with your reader, neither can you use manipulative sales tactics. You need to send emails that build reputation and relationships just as much as your revenue. So today, I’m going to run you through how I write sales emails using the SLAP technique—including a video breakdown of one I sent this Sunday that grossed $5,136 (it took 45...
