No. 1: Keep Showing Up, Keep Winning
Consistency is where success takes root, but staying the course is more demanding than it sounds. Motivation fades. Life throws curveballs. Discipline slips. The trick? Build habits that don't rely on willpower alone.
Author Sahil Bloom offers up seven consistency recommendations. Do something every day, even if it's small. Stack the odds in your favor—mornings help, accountability partners keep you honest, and gradual progress beats overcommitting. Miss a day? Let it go. What matters is the trend, not perfection. The people who win aren't the most talented or the luckiest—they're the ones who keep showing up. So, show up. Do the work. Then do it again tomorrow.

No. 3: Build Community, Not Just Numbers
The race for "more" is exhausting. More followers, more content, more money—but when is it enough?
The creator economy is shifting. Chasing virality burns folks out. Building a core audience sustains them. According to the latest research, 81% of creators want a direct way to engage their audience, and 80% of core fans are willing to pay for content they truly value. The takeaway? Growth isn't just about numbers. It's about depth, connection, and long-term stability. Define your "enough," own your audience, and stop running in circles. The future belongs to creators who build communities, not just followings.

No. 4: AMP Emails: The Future of Engagement
Email just got a serious upgrade. With AMP-powered dynamic forms, readers can buy a course, join a community, or answer a poll—all without ever leaving their inbox. This isn't just a gimmick. Early adopters report conversion boosts of up to 90%. For creators selling memberships, running newsletters, or building engaged audiences, this is a game changer. The tech has been around for a while, but adoption remains low. That won't last. If you want to stay ahead—and make more money—it's time to take AMP email seriously. The future of interaction-driven content is already here. Will you use it?

No. 5: Unlock TikTok's Money-Making Potential
TikTok isn't just for dance challenges—it's a potential goldmine for creators looking to grow an audience and make money. But to cash in, you need views. The key? Get on TikTok's "For You" page by using relevant keywords, posting consistently, and engaging with users in your niche. Trends help, but don't just copy—add your own spin. Original content is the real winner. TikTok favors creativity over clichés, and the algorithm rewards it. Nail this, and you'll boost your visibility, build a following, and turn TikTok into a serious revenue stream.
