How to Quit Your 9-5 as a Full-Time Creator (6 Step Plan) · The Spirit Nomad: Spiritual Awakening + Life Purpose

• 0:00
  I've been a full time creator for over six years now and I
• 0:03
  only need to work 4 hours per week and if I was starting from
• 0:06
  scratch and wanted to grow quickly so I can just leave my
• 0:09
  9:00 to 5:00 and never come back, this is exactly what I
• 0:12
  would do. I have mapped out a six step
• 0:15
  plan that I will share with you today and then some big no no's
• 0:19
  that I feel like everybody thinks that you have to do as a
• 0:22
  creator but I would say no. This will actually slow down
• 0:25
  your growth. Step one is to pick a problem
• 0:28
  instead of a niche. So instead saying I want to be
• 0:31
  in the spirituality niche or the travel niche or the fitness
• 0:34
  niche, instead think of people 2:00 AM on their phone in their
• 0:38
  bed and they're having this aching problem.
• 0:41
  What are they struggling with? What are they looking up online
• 0:44
  at that point? So for example, for me when I
• 0:46
  was younger, it was how to get out of the 9:00 to 5:00 or how
• 0:50
  to find my purpose. So think about a problem like
• 0:53
  that, that you have overcome, that you can teach people.
• 0:56
  Step 2 is to sell before you grow.
• 0:59
  Many people will wait until they have 10,000 subscribers before
• 1:03
  they actually start selling something and monetizing that
• 1:05
  Channel. But you can quit your nine to
• 1:07
  five sooner than you think if you start to actually create a
• 1:10
  product. Because with Adsense alone,
• 1:12
  let's say you have a YouTube channel and you're thinking I'll
• 1:15
  just live on ad revenue. You will need a very big channel
• 1:18
  with a lot of views before you can make significant money.
• 1:21
  However, if you start offering coaching or a course or a
• 1:25
  membership, then you very quickly can build up that income
• 1:29
  that can replace your 95 job. But if you just relied on ad
• 1:32
  revenue for that, you would barely make any money.
• 1:34
  Step 4. Make sure that this niche is not
• 1:37
  coming from the mind, but from the soul.
• 1:39
  So is this something that you're actually passionate about, a
• 1:42
  change you want to see in the world?
• 1:44
  Because if you're picking your niche based on, I have a
• 1:46
  professional experience in this because I worked in this
• 1:49
  corporate niche for many years, you're eventually going to
• 1:52
  burnout because it's not fun and you're not learning anymore
• 1:55
  because it's boring to you. Look on your bookshelf.
• 1:58
  What are you actually reading about that gives you clue to
• 2:00
  what you should teach? And if you're not sure what your
• 2:02
  life purpose is, then I have a free guide how to find your
• 2:04
  purpose in five simple steps. I've linked it in the
• 2:06
  description. Step 4 is to talk to one person,
• 2:10
  not everyone. So start your videos with saying
• 2:13
  you OK, you're calling out one person rather than hi YouTube.
• 2:17
  This makes the person on the other side feel so much more
• 2:19
  special, like you're just having a one-on-one conversation.
• 2:22
  And this should not only be when you're filming, but also when
• 2:25
  you're writing sales pages or articles in any of your content.
• 2:29
  Think of one person and preferably a younger version of
• 2:33
  you, the person you were before you overcame this obstacle.
• 2:37
  For example, I am talking to the younger version of me who was
• 2:41
  feeling so unfulfilled and so drained in her nine to five job.
• 2:45
  Step 5A high value, low volume strategy.
• 2:49
  So if your business model relies on getting a huge amount of
• 2:53
  traffic, for example by having ads in your podcast or only
• 2:57
  relying on YouTube ad revenue, then you need so much volume.
• 3:01
  You need to go viral all your videos.
• 3:03
  And same with brand deals. You will only get really
• 3:06
  profitable brand deals if you have a huge audience.
• 3:09
  But there's a way of getting equally much income with a low
• 3:13
  volume on YouTube and on social media and on podcasts.
• 3:16
  And that is by having a product that costs a bit more money,
• 3:20
  that has a bigger transformation.
• 3:21
  So it could be things like offering one-on-one call
• 3:25
  packages. So think about what is the
• 3:26
  transformation that you can take somebody through.
• 3:29
  For example, if you're A and you used to be stressed out but now
• 3:32
  you're a minimalist mom, so happy, so peaceful.
• 3:36
  You can take other stressed out moms through this
• 3:38
  transformation. Or it could be a high ticket
• 3:41
  program. We have a video course and that
• 3:44
  could be someone on one coaching or some group coaching a little
• 3:47
  community. This you can charge more for
• 3:49
  than an e-book. This way you only need around 3
• 3:52
  new clients per month to make a living and no longer need a nine
• 3:57
  to five job. Step 6 is to validate fast and
• 4:00
  pivot faster. So instead of building for
• 4:03
  months, you want to post, observe and adjust.
• 4:06
  So look in the comment section in your DMS. What are people
• 4:10
  having problems with? What are they going through?
• 4:12
  And create a product around that and start selling your course or
• 4:16
  your program before it's fully built out.
• 4:19
  And have some beta testers go through that product.
• 4:21
  Give them 50% discount to get that valuable feedback.
• 4:25
  And once you have that, you can start releasing the other
• 4:27
  modules. Your audience literally tells
• 4:29
  you WhatsApp because what you don't want to be trust me, is
• 4:32
  where you create a product because you're excited about it
• 4:35
  and then it turns out nobody actually cares.
• 4:38
  It's not a problem. People willing to pay money for
• 4:40
  And before I get into what you should absolutely not do if you
• 4:44
  want to grow as a content creator, if you want more
• 4:46
  guidance specific to your situation, then book a free
• 4:50
  business clerk to call. We have a few more slots this
• 4:52
  month and that you will get more clear on your purpose and your
• 4:56
  nation brand. Now here's what I would not do.
• 4:59
  The first thing is to focus too much on aesthetics.
• 5:02
  We've all seen those shorts where it's these beautiful
• 5:05
  aesthetics, my morning routine, my trip to France, and we have
• 5:09
  this beautiful music and beautiful transitions.
• 5:13
  And now that AI has entered the shot, polished content is so
• 5:17
  out. People are craving authentic
• 5:19
  conversations, authentic content where it feels like they're just
• 5:22
  sitting next to a friend and talking.
• 5:23
  The second thing is some viral content.
• 5:25
  So content that you're posting because you know, we'll get a
• 5:28
  lot of views, but there's no not much substance there because
• 5:31
  yes, it could grow your brand quicker, but the people you're
• 5:35
  attracting are not coming for what you have to offer, what
• 5:38
  your products are about. They just came to be
• 5:40
  entertained. Another thing I would not do is
• 5:42
  to delay selling. So you should sell in every
• 5:46
  single content. It could just be a quick call to
• 5:49
  action to your product that will help them go deeper.
• 5:52
  So don't be afraid to sell. If they truly have this problem,
• 5:55
  then you offering a product, a solution to that problem is
• 5:59
  exactly what they want. And you never know which video
• 6:02
  of yours will go viral. Trust me, it's always the one
• 6:06
  you least expect. So if you didn't have a call to
• 6:08
  action, you will regret that forever.
• 6:10
  You also don't want to wait to feel ready because trust me, you
• 6:15
  will never feel ready, OK? It's never Oh my gosh, I can't
• 6:19
  wait to film or I can't wait to start a YouTube channel.
• 6:22
  It will always be that voice in your head that says you're not
• 6:24
  ready. So sometimes you just gotta
• 6:26
  start filming and then you will start to feel ready and then the
• 6:30
  more you film and film, the easier they will get with time.
• 6:33
  You have so much wisdom to share with the World Life Worker, so I
• 6:36
  wanted to write in the comments. Everything I need to succeed is
• 6:39
  already within me. You don't need to get a PhD or
• 6:43
  lots of certifications to feel worthy.
• 6:45
  You already have so much to share.
• 6:47
  Let me know about the channel that you've started or want to
• 6:50
  start so that we can all follow each other and support each
• 6:53
  other. Love you so much and see you in
• 6:55
  the next video.
