Very little makes a marketing guru’s blood boil more than free content that’s valuable to your market, but doesn’t require an immediate payout.

“What a stupid thing to do!” they cry. “You’ll go broke faster than a mouse in a room full of rocking chairs!”

And if your timeframe is comparable to that of a mouse, this is understandable. But if you want to carry on a little more like a human, you’ll give up the coercion tactics and start being valuable to someone.

      Hi Steven,
      Thank you very, very much for your great videos and for the ideas you give. I‘m just a beginner in video and marketing my little business, but because of your videos I feel relieved and slowly making videos gets more fun instead of stress.
      Many greetings from Germany
      Stay safe

      I really charge?
      Which also brings many others to conclude that IF I am doing anything without payment of any sort, I can’t possibly be any good at it… (grin)

        This is primarily for those who DO have a business or would like one. As a rule this is not an easy-peasy thing to do. Nothing against doing things for love. That’s how businesses get started. And continue…
