There are many ways to measure success, but we all understand money (though it feels weird talking about it!).
I launched my first paid course—about setting up GTD in @RoamResearch—in Sep 2020. In 17 months, with 3 paid courses, my total sales were $56,627.

Adding in coaching clients that came in through my courses, that number is really $75,000+.
That’s not “quit the rest of my coaching practice” money, but it has allowed me to make much better choices with my time.
Why am I bringing this up?

Why am I bringing this up?
Here’s why:
As of today, I’m just shy of 1,500 Twitter followers, around 1,240 YouTube followers, and my newsletter email list (which I only just started growing) has about 240 subscribers.
In short, if you have a product that helps people, you don’t NEED a huge following.

Connect with communities with similar values and goals (I was hugely helped by contributing in the Roam community early on) and start helping people.
Then package that help and start selling it! Give people value, they’ll give you money—and that’s the way it should be!

The world needs creators and helpers, so create and help!

One last note: Building your audience is awesome, and I’m certainly working on that too.
But there’s no reason not to have something valuable to give them—in exchange for money—as soon as you can. If you can build an audience AND earn revenue, that’s the best of both worlds!
