My businesses earn over $200,000 per month combined.

The key to making that happen has been content creation.

Here’s how we’ve done it (so you can do the same): 1. Choosing Channels

Here are 10 sales principles that’ll help you do the same:

🧵 1. The Foundation Is Offer + Proof

The best offers deliver desirable outcomes, have a perceived value that is greater than their prices, and have a few enhancements (like a guarantee).

Build that, then get case studies to prove efficacy, and selling will be relatively easy.
