Hey there👋,

Hope you are having a great time over there…

It’s a beautiful morning here, and I’m going through my weekly analytics on all my content streams, of which my #buildinpublic project is a very important priority for me.

This week, as promised, I’ll be sharing the:

1. Google Search Console (GSC) Analytics of one of my main project websites - Biliate

2. My Upcoming Plans with Biliate to Make it a SUCCESS (Authority)

So let’s start with the first one without wasting any time…

The GSC Analytics Makes Me Feel Better

I started with this project more than a month ago, as I saw this domain as the best way for me to gain more PRACTICE with my SEO and blogging skills.

Apart from that, the vision is to make it so much better that people prefer this website for learning about Content Creation, in the coming time.

And I started with a basic web design and started experimenting with sub-niches, to find the one I’m gonna niche down in the upcoming months, because that’s the best solopreneur strategy when it comes to building authority on the web, through TOPICAL AUTHORITY!

If you don’t know, topical authority is a strategy of creating content in one or more niches, with a good number of articles (say more than 100 posts in a niche), and thereby becoming an expert or go-to authority in those topics.

Writing 100 articles in just 1 niche is a much better investment than writing 10 articles in 10 different niches.

And here I got my niche to work on - Content Monetization!

It indeed took some time to find it, but I started posting on it in May on a regular basis.

And here I am, with 27 articles on Biliate’s Blog (as of today).

It’s not even one month, but I’m seeing a good increase in impressions and page views on my site’s GSC.

Have a look:

GSC Analytics

The site crossed its 100 impressions per day milestone this week, which is not a bad start.

It takes more time to index and rank articles on Google, as it’s a complex process with algorithms and ranking.

Still, 2-3 (latest) articles of mine are not indexed (Probably this upcoming week).

Good thing, we are heading in the right direction.

Stats:

1. No. of total posts: 27

2. No. of posts added last week: 4

3. Impressions per month increased by 159%

4. Pageviews increased by 167%

GSC Comparison Analytics

Now let’s talk about what exactly I plan to do in the coming months for Biliate’s growth plan for success in 2023.

Biliate’s Growth Plan for Success

So let’s see what I plan about blog posts first, as it’s the main channel of website traffic.

Blog Posts

I started posting consistently after I had 16-18 articles on my blog already (my old domain, haha)

So, the basic plan for posting is:

1. 10 Response Posts (Articles between 1000-2000 words)

2. 10 Staple posts (Articles between 2000-3000 words)

3. 10 Pillar Posts (Articles with more than 3000+ words)

So… It will be 50 posts on the blog when we are done with these.

This is quite good to elevate the blog and get some good content in front of Google to start ranking, sending traffic to the website, and also considering Biliate as an authority.

After this I’ll be posting it, but less frequently (like 15 posts per month) which will keep going forward.

YT videos

Now we got some good content, it’s time to build some organic good quality backlinks from YT.

Biliate YT channel

This will be just creating 1 or 2 videos per week on the same content we have on the website, from June.

Thereby, repurposing the content in video format and adding the blog post link in the description of each video.

Cool?

Will keep doing that in a consistent manner as it will build some backlinks for the site, and also contribute as proof of authority in front of Google.

Good thing???

I’ll get to learn more about video creation, lighting, and editing stuff. Best practice for content creators.

Agree?

Put Ads on the Website

This is the first step to start monetization on the website from the blog posts.

I don’t have an exact day planned to start, but when I cross 1k+ pageviews, I’ll deploy it.

Will be a great practice for understanding how to implement ads on a website in a good way, as I have learned a lot about it and have also been blogging about it on Biliate.

The ads will work best when we cross 50k+ pageviews on the site, but also good to earn a few bucks monthly.

Create Digital Products

This is a thing that works best for a website when it has become an authority in its space.

As if we don’t have a good number of visitors, we will hardly get any conversions.

These info products and courses will be some high-value ones but need good proof of authority for persuading anyone to buy.

I must tell. it’s easier in the personal branding space but takes more time in the website or blog brand.

Gonna start working on it in the 5th month, when I believe the blog will cross 50k+ pageviews, for sure.

Conclusion

Even though plans are good and keep us focused and disciplined, it’s important to understand that the time factor can be a little different than our expectations.

What matters is we move forward according to our analytics plan than worrying about the time.

Even if it gets late, we will reach it in 6-8 months…

It’s all about consistency, quality content, and good SEO moves that will make Biliate a good authority in the industry.

I know sharing the plans is not the best move before achieving it, but since you are my personal brand audience…

…I felt the feeling of sharing it with you and getting your valuable feedback on it.

Thanks for reading this newsletter. Have a great week ahead.

Lmk your feedback or any questions you have on this. Will appreciate any feedback on it, especially constructive ones.

Hey friend - Raj this side,

I hope you didn’t forget me, after I discontinued sending my weekly newsletters to you, for about a month.

I know, as a creator, being inconsistent with my content and work is kind of a SIN, but I was going through a lot last month.

Hope you’re doing well and I’m grateful to have you as my newsletter subscriber (thanks for sticking with me)…

as some of them unsubscribed, due to inconsistent behavior and a decrease in trust.

I promise this won’t happen ever again till this newsletter is in existence, as also I have come up with an automated scheduling plan to deliver all my newsletters to you, every Sunday, at 2 PM EST.

(yeah, it’s changed from Friday to Sunday)

The reason is - I analyze my week on Sunday now, and would love to write & share my analysis, experience, and insights immediately with you.

(This can be a little lengthy, but you won’t regret going down with my words…)

Back to the Twitter Growth Series

Let’s start where I left off with - The Series of 3 Newsletters on Fast Growing Accounts on Twitter. (Part #2)

From my last Newsletter

So, today I am going to discuss a Twitter Account which is not a new player, and rather an experienced creator on Twitter - Kieran Drew!

Taken from the Twitter profile picture

Before starting, I would like to recommend you his newsletter - Digital Freedom if you also like to learn some hands-on skills on how a big creator works out his business, writing, and lifestyle in a good way and how you can do the same BEING YOU!

Let’s go!

So this is a guy who started and has been working here on Twitter since August 2020.

Long time? Yes!

You can see that from the number of followers and fans he has (including me).

He had some of his own reasons for switching from Dentistry to a Writer, online.

Milestones achieved

To give you a glimpse…

Fast forward to today:

1. He has more than 20k+ subscribers on his newsletter and 165k+ followers on Twitter.

2. An online teaching business called Viral Inspiration Lab sells tweet databases as a product with some courses to write Twitter threads, writing skills, becoming an expert in a niche, etc. where he has managed to bring around 400 people to learn from him.

3. Has launched a community - “Freedom Writers” with a good amount of folks (more than 100) and later left it because of very less freedom. (I’ll explain)

4. Tried a lot of writing models for earning a living online, and manage to earn around $4k per month in net profits, on average now.

Here’s a net profit and revenue screenshot from his Newsletter:

Taken from his Newsletter

Kieran’s #1 USP and Driving Factor

For Kieran, both of these are the same.

The only thing that you will see, on his Twitter profile cover - DIGITAL FREEDOM!

We can say that…

This is his fundamental value and maybe also his source of energy or driving factor in reaching this stage.

It’s not the biggest achievement, but we can surely appreciate him as a content creator working solo online, making a living without having a BOSS to worry about.

Isn’t it COOL?

100%!!!

This is the main factor on which he judges what things he should keep doing and what to avoid.

We can’t say that this stops him from experimenting with creator stuff. He has tried a lot of jobs and monetization models to see through the level of freedom he can have with each of them.

(I have made a list to show you his trials below)

Anything he writes learns or speaks about, he is quite focused on Digital freedom for it.

This is due to his goal of attaining freedom from working 9-5 or working for someone else rather than doing the same for himself…

and that too in the DIGITAL way so that he can work sitting at whatever place on this globe with an internet connection.

Monetization ways tried and tested with writing

You will be impressed after reading how many businesses or jobs he has tried writing online.

In fact, I was also impressed by it.

He has earned from most of them. But still works with few as it’s hard to manage all of it.

I’ll also share the score he gives for each one of those experiences, on the basis of the freedom the job gives. Let’s go:

1. Affiliating (4/5)

2. Community (2/5) {This was the reason he left, as his primary purpose is Freedom}

3. Coaching & Consulting (3/5)

4. Ghostwriting (2.5/5)

5. Group Coaching (3.5/5)

6. Digital Products (4.5/5)

You can see from his ratings, the kind of job/work he likes to do more.

He has 4 FREE Notion products to share and charges only for - Viral Inspiration Lab.

Taken from LinkedIn Profile

(will tell you more about his creator business, if you wanna learn, in upcoming newsletters - reply to vote)

The thing he earns around 50% of his revenue from the Lab Product, which takes the least of his time, and gives him the highest returns.

The Secret to His Growth on Twitter as a Content Creator

He also started as everyone and soon grabbed the understanding of providing real value to his audience that they can’t believe can be given for free.

Believe me when I say this…

I have tried and tested his FREEBIE courses. They are dope!

And this is the real trick or we can say the best way to attract & serve our audience.

To give freebies so good, that the audience dreams about how good the paid ones will be.

And he monetizes only the IMPLEMENTATION of his content (viral labs).

He does it in a professional way which I love about his work.

Every time you get his freebies, you are on his email list. The best-owned audience + a list of raving fans that are pretty much interested to buy his courses or products.

Conclusion

This is what I’m also coming up with my personal brand after confusing my audience with writing, in so broad niche.

Gonna be more focused on serving my 3 different niches only and trying to come up with a product that converts people and also serves them so well that they can’t deny it.

As Alex Hormozi says it all, “Make Offers So Good People Feel Stupid Saying No”!!!

So, that’s it for this newsletter. Hope you found this one valuable and learned something useful from it.

See you next Sunday!

Hey 👋 Raj this side,

Hope you had a wonderful week.

I'm excited to announce and kick off a series of 3 newsletters, where we’ll explore my analysis of the growth strategies of some of the fastest-growing Twitter creators. (BONUS: Key takeaways only for you)

Today, I want to introduce you to Leo(@PathToIkigai), who has achieved remarkable success in a very short time.

Leo’s Twitter account screenshot

Leo - A data analyst by profession and a Twitter growth enthusiast by passion. He started his Twitter journey just four months ago, and now he has almost 5,000 followers! Leo's tweets mainly focus on Twitter growth, solopreneurs, creators, business, ghostwriting, and more. (Crazy? Yess)

Leo's approach is data-driven, due to which he has a great understanding of his audience and the Twitter algorithm. He always attaches a link to his DMs to connect with people who are interested in learning from him about Twitter growth.

In addition, Leo is also in ghostwriting, which means he is constantly improving his writing skills to create compelling copies for articles, landing pages, etc.

Now, how did Leo start? What main steps did he take during the journey?

Grab it below…

✍️ Leo’s Twitter Story

Let me tell you a story about Leo, the Twitter growth enthusiast who turned his passion into a thriving business in just four months.

As a data analyst by profession, Leo always had a knack for analyzing trends and understanding his audience. But it wasn't until he stumbled upon Arvid Kahl's "Find Your Following" course that he realized the power of the "Give First" framework.

Leo was determined to make his mark on Twitter and learn from the best in the business. He studied the posts and connections of Daniel Vassallo and Justin Welsh, both of whom he emulated as a solopreneur.

But he also knew that to make an impact, he had to improve his writing skills.

That's when he turned to David Perell and enrolled in Dickie Bush & Nicolas Cole's Ship30 course, which helped him change his mindset from consuming to producing.

With his newfound skills and knowledge, Leo applied a data-driven approach to growing his account and writing high-quality copies. He started sharing his strategies via DMs and found that people were amazed by his actions. As his account grew, he started thinking about monetizing his audience.

Leo studied Justin Welsh's business model and joined Dakota Robertson's Growth Ghosts cohort, where he refined his system, found customers, and closed deals. He also got to know his audience in-depth, asking questions and building a "bank of pain points" to solve their biggest problems.

He also offered 10-30 free calls, provided 1:1 paid calls on growth, and talked to people to understand their pain points and how he could help. This is called audience analysis by directly connecting with them. A work that I myself need to do for my niche.

What happened next?

The luck of hard work kicked in! Yup!

Virgil Brewster, who sold a 7 figure course business and a mentor, offered to give mentorship to Leo, and they closed a partnership. With Virgil's guidance, Leo is launching his first product and scaling from there. He’s been working with him now.

Don’t forget to give this amazing guy a FOLLOW!

I’m so happy to see the growth of Leo and constantly engage with him on Twitter. We’re yet to connect on a call, probably do this month. I learn a lot from him, through his tweets, threads, and how he writes. Helps a lot.

It’s been analyzing him that made me write better and more authentic tweets nowadays. And I see quite a better engagement on my tweets than in February.

I wish the best to him in his future endeavors.

What’s left?

Last but not least… The goal drives him to do all this stuff and be consistent with his work.

🥳 The Creator’s Freedom

Leo's ultimate goal is to have the freedom to play with his kids whenever they want to, and he genuinely wants to help people along the way.

He is always ready to share his knowledge and provide guidance to anyone who needs it. So, if you also need help growing and monetizing your account, just send him a DM. He won't ignore you, for sure.

Leo is also one of those proofs that with hard work and determination, anyone can turn their passion into a thriving business.

That’s it! Now…

What’s for you to remember?

🔑 Key Takeaways from Leo's Journey

1. Learn from the best: Leo understood the importance of learning from the best in the business. He studied the posts and connections of Daniel Vassallo, Justin Welsh, David Perell, and others to improve his skills and knowledge.

2. Apply a data-driven approach: As a data analyst by profession, Leo applied a data-driven approach to growing his Twitter account and writing high-quality copies. He used his analytical skills to understand his audience and the Twitter algorithm.

Hey Creators👋,

If you're anything like me, you know that Twitter can be a powerful tool for building your brand, connecting with your audience, and staying on top of the latest news and trends.

But with millions of users and a constant stream of content, how can you make sure that your voice is heard? Especially more important for small accounts below 1k followers.

The answer, my friend, is engagement. In a world where attention is the most valuable currency, engaging with your audience on Twitter is absolutely crucial if you want to stand out from the crowd and make a lasting impact.

Whether you're a business looking to generate leads, a blogger trying to build your following, working on personal branding, or just a casual user looking to connect with like-minded people, engagement is the key to success on Twitter.

So today, I want to share some of my top tips for boosting engagement on Twitter and taking your presence to the next level. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just getting started, there's something here for everyone.

So let's dive in...

📈Measuring Engagement Success

When I first joined Twitter in February 2022, I was a bit overwhelmed by the constant stream of information and the fast-paced nature of the platform. However, I slowly started to understand the ins and outs of Twitter and began to engage more with big accounts and friends on the platform.

It wasn't until December that I really started to see some traction with my engagement, averaging around 20-30 engagements per day. But, as I continued to experiment with my engagement strategies, I realized that reaching 1k followers was crucial to gaining more visibility and engagement on the platform.

So, I shifted my focus in January and began to prioritize engagement over everything else. And, it paid off. By the first week of February, I was averaging over 100 engagements per day and I had grown my followers by 25% in just 15 days.

This is around 100 followers that’s gonna be added to my account in just February, most probably. Currently, it’s around 50 followers in under 15 days.

Remember, high engagement is a habit that takes time to build. If you take it all in, you're probably gonna get exhausted due to a sudden change of work.

But engaging will be one of the best decisions you'll take to lift off your audience and make more friends who will encourage you to get better every day.

🗨️Learn how to Engage more

One of the most effective ways to boost engagement on Twitter is to engage in conversations with other users, particularly with big accounts in your industry or niche. This can be achieved through thoughtful and genuine comments on their tweets.

Start by following big accounts that you admire and engage with their content on a regular basis. Make sure your comments are relevant, and insightful, and add value to the conversation.

By doing so, you will attract the attention of the account owner and their followers, potentially leading to increased visibility and more followers for your own account.

It's important to note, however, that commenting on tweets should not be your only engagement strategy. While it can be effective, it's just one part of a larger engagement plan. You should also consider other strategies, such as retweeting, sharing relevant content, participating in Twitter chats, and using visuals in your tweets. By diversifying your engagement tactics, you can build a well-rounded Twitter presence that resonates with your target audience and helps you achieve your goals on the platform.

I'm here to tell you the way of engaging by commenting on tweets, today.

So, there are two main ways to do this:

1. Engagement Tool: Twitter engagement tools are software or services that can help you improve your presence and engagement on Twitter. These tools come in many different forms, such as social media management platforms, scheduling tools, analytics tools, and follower analysis tools.

One of the finest examples of such a tool is Engagement builder - It is an engagement-centric platform that helps you with commenting on tweets without going to Twitter and helps you convert likes to followers, followers to friends, and friends to business opportunities.

My take on it: It's a great productivity improvement software that will help you comment on the most number of tweets without getting distracted.

2. Direct Engagement: This works as it is spelled. Engage with tweets on the Twitter website/app only. This is my way of engagement, the hard way and the more real way probably.

Let me dive you in, in the simplest and most effective way possible.

Here are also two ways in this type:

a) With List: This is the organized way. This way helped me go from 50 to a 100+ avg. engagements. You can learn how to create & organize your lists on Twitter from this thread by one of my friends - Jordan Parker.

Twitter tweet

After having a set of lists, like in my case I have 5 lists that are only for engaging and interacting with different tweets categorized on the basis of niches. (See them in the image below)

I interact with each niche based on different times throughout the day. It helps me categorize all niches and also focuses on prioritizing with whom to interact on a daily basis.

I also have this rule of engaging with at least 5 people whom I've never met before. Helps a lot.

Now, another approach...

b) Without List: This is the simplest way for beginners. Interact with all accounts in your Twitter timeline without any limitations and rules.

This has quite a bad effect on your engagement and productivity. Because you're constantly interacting with tweets without any filter to whom to interact and without priority.

It's still a good way to start and add a habit of engaging slowly and steadily.

Let's talk also about the habit of engaging and its importance...

🔁Building a Habit of Engagement

Creating a habit of commenting on tweets on a daily basis can help increase engagement and build relationships with other Twitter users. To get started, it's important to identify accounts that share content relevant to your interests or industry. Once you've identified these accounts, you can add them to an organized Twitter list to make it easier to find and engage with their tweets.

Start by commenting on a few tweets per day, gradually increasing the number of comments over time. For example, you could aim to comment on 20 tweets per day for the first week, then gradually increase to 40, 60, and so on. Using an organized Twitter list can help you keep track of the accounts you want to engage with and ensure that you are commenting on a variety of tweets.

As you comment more frequently, be sure to engage authentically and add value to the conversation. By building a habit of commenting on tweets on a daily basis, you can increase your visibility on Twitter and build meaningful relationships with other users.

This will help others know about your expertise or knowledge on different stuff, and also what types of opinions you have on different types of topics on Twitter in our out of your niche.

PRO TIP: If you’re competition friendly and watch it daily, then just try crossing your past 28th-day impressions and replies, at the start, to get a daily motivation and goal. 😉

Example: Today is 17 Feb and you have goals to cross the impressions and replies of 17th Jan only. Your day goal is to defeat yourself every day. Cool?

Tell me how it went in replies or in my twitter DMs.

Keep engaging and keep getting better.

See you, next week creators.

Cheers, Raj!

Hey there!

I hope this email finds you well.

This week, I wanna share with you something that has revolutionized my content creation process - Systems. If you're looking for ways to simplify your work and achieve more in less time, then keep reading.

This newsletter is for someone who still is not clear with their game as a content creation. Because clarity plays a major role here. And systems are the best way to see it.

Systems in content creation refer to a set of steps, tools, and processes you use to create and publish your content. The goal of these systems is to make your work more efficient, organized, and effective.

Here are some of the key benefits of using systems in content creation:

1. Saves you time: By having a clear set of steps and processes in place, you can focus on the creative side of content creation instead of wasting time on repetitive tasks.

2. Improves efficiency: Systems keep you organized and ensure nothing falls through the cracks, so you can complete projects faster and with less stress.

3. Increases productivity: With a clear understanding of what needs to be done and when, you can prioritize your work and get more done in less time.

Now...

Let me give you an example of how these systems have helped me. With my new content creation system, I was able to increase my productivity by more than 25% in just one month!

Take a look at my content creation system:

• 1x LinkedIn Post/day

• 1x SEO Twitter thread/day

• 1x Personal Thread/week

• 1x Blog Post/day

• 1x Newsletter/week (you know it)

Looks good? (Good for me, haha)😉

Keep this system in the back of your mind for an inspiration or idea on how it looks like. We'll talk about this below.

But first, let's start with the different types it could be classified into…

Here are some of the different types of systems you can use in your content creation process:

1. Editorial Calendars: These help you plan and organize your content in advance, so you always know what you need to create and when.

2. Project Management Systems: These tools help you keep track of all the tasks involved in creating your content, from research to publication.

3. Workflow Management Systems: These systems help you streamline your work by outlining the steps involved in each task, so you can work more efficiently and avoid mistakes.

What I showed you above, was my Workflow management system for Content Creation. This is something that I need to do every single day, week or month, without any excuses. Just emotionless discipline to serve my target audience, like I'm doing it right now.

So overall...

By having a clear set of steps and processes in place, you can avoid wasting time on taking decisions for repetitive tasks and instead focus on the creative side of content creation.

That's how you move to Intermediate level from beginner.

These systems also help me stay organized and ensure that nothing falls through the cracks, leading to increased productivity.

The key to creating a successful content creation system is to identify your goals and objectives, and then tailor your systems to meet those needs. I recommend attaching specific days or times each week to each task, also to decrease daily decision making.

And also encourage you to create systems of your own.

To create a successful content creation system, start by identifying your goals and objectives, and then tailor your systems to meet those needs. It may take some trial and error to find the right combination of tools and processes, but the time and effort you put in up front will pay off in the long run.

You'll surely find that you save time, increase efficiency, and boost productivity in your content creation process.

If you have any questions or would like to learn more or need my help with this, just let me know!

In the next email, I'll be showing you how to use these 3 types of systems in the best way to find more efficiency and productivity in your worklife.

Best regards,

Raj

PS: Would love to hear feedback on the emails I'm sending you weekly. Mainly about, what you like and what you don't. And also what more you expect from this newsletter in terms of services or features to learn more in content creation? (Waiting for my homework from you)😇

Hey there,

I hope you're having a great day so far. I wanted to reach out to you today because I wanted to talk about something that I believe is incredibly important for anyone looking to build an audience or create content regularly - Consistency.

When it comes to content creation, consistency is key. Whether you're a blogger, YouTuber, or social media influencer, the more consistent you are with your content, the more likely you are to build an engaged audience that keeps coming back for more.

One of the biggest mistakes that I see new creators make is that they start strong, posting new content every day or every other day, but then they start to lose steam.

They get busy with other things, or they lose their motivation, and before they know it, they're only posting once a week or even less.

This is a huge mistake because when you're not consistently putting out new content, you're not giving your audience a reason to keep coming back. They may check in on you once in a while, but they're not going to be as invested in your content or as likely to share it with others.

When I first started my journey as a blogger and content creator, I was excited and motivated to share my ideas and stories with the world.

But as time went on, I found myself struggling to maintain consistency in my content creation. I would post regularly for a few weeks, but then life would get in the way and I'd fall off track.

It wasn't until I realized the importance of consistency that my audience began to grow. I committed myself to set a schedule for my content and sticking to it, no matter what. I also began to plan, so that even when I was busy, I had content ready to go.

And started to focus on quality over quantity, making sure that each piece of content I put out was something that I was truly proud of. Through these changes, I've been able to build a dedicated audience of 200 followers on Twitter and started sharing my content on LinkedIn. I've also started creating and selling digital products.

I've been fortunate enough to engage with many big accounts on Twitter meanwhile and network with people in the content creation industry, and growing every day.

It wasn't always easy, but by staying consistent and focusing on quality, I've been able to turn my passion for content creation into something more. And I believe that if you're willing to put in the work and stay consistent, you can do the same. This year I'm doubling down on everything (will be sharing about it next week, Stay tuned!).

Tips to maintain Consistency in Content Creation

So, how do you maintain consistency when it comes to content creation? Here are a few tips:

1. Set a schedule: One of the best ways to stay consistent is to set a schedule for yourself. Decide how often you want to post new content and then stick to that schedule. Whether it's once a day, once a week, or somewhere in between, having a set schedule will help you stay on track.

2. Plan ahead: Another way to maintain consistency is to plan. If you know that you're going to be busy next week, plan out your content in advance so that you can still post something even if you don't have time to create something new.

3. Focus on quality over quantity: While consistency is important, it's also important to remember that quality is just as important. It's better to post one high-quality piece of content per week than to post five low-quality pieces of content.

4. Create a content calendar: Finally, consider creating a content calendar to help you stay organized and on track. This can be as simple as a Google Calendar or an Excel spreadsheet, but it can be a great way to keep track of when you need to post new content and what you're going to post.

I hope these tips will help you stay consistent and achieve success in content creation. And don't forget, my journey is proof that it is possible to turn your passion into something more with the right mindset and hard work.

Let me know if you have any questions or if there's anything specific you'd like me to cover in future emails. I'm here to help and support you in your content creation journey.

Best,

Raj

Welcome to the first post of - The Creator's Newsletter!

To kick off this newsletter, I'd like to take a moment to introduce myself and my journey as a content creator.

In this newsletter, I'll be giving you an inside look into my motivation for creating content, my reasons for starting this newsletter, and how I plan to continue to grow and improve as a creator in 2023.

So, whom are we waiting for? Let’s dive in!

My Introduction

My name is Ayoosh Raj and I'm a content creator from India. I have a passion for writing, blogging, audience building, and digital creation.

Currently, I'm an undergraduate student, with plans to move to Silicon Valley in a few years to explore entrepreneurship and business building.

As a side hustle, I have started learning skills and exploring more about how the media and content industry works. And here I’m building an audience on Twitter, writing blog posts, and sending email newsletters.

Let’s start with my story…

What motivated me to start with content creation?

I've always had a love for writing and a desire to share my perspectives and experiences with others. In February 2022, I started a small niche blog with a friend where I helped him as a writer. This is what helped me to understand how articles were written and published on the Internet.

This is also when I discovered the Twitter audience-building creator community and started building a personal brand for myself.

I didn't have much experience with website creation, design, and optimization, so I began learning more about it, to become a full-time content creator one day (which is still my aspiration, haha).

So, I started a blog on a old domain I bought in 2021, and also started experimenting with different forms of content on various platforms like WordPress, Medium, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn. I found that I enjoyed creating written content as-well-as, engaging with other creators on Twitter and learning from them.

So, I also started to gain knowledge on Twitter audience building slowly and steadily, with engaging and networking with big accounts and experts. And I must say, I love the Twitter community.

That’s what has made me persist to tweet, and engage every single day, publish articles weekly, and launch products.

What have I gained so far?

• The niche site I started with my friend has a good number of page views and has also got accepted by Ezoic.

• Grew my Twitter following from 0 to 200.

• Gained experience by launching two digital product freebies on Gumroad, one on email marketing and the other on Twitter validation.

• Had the opportunity to meet and learn from many amazing founders and business owners through calls and tweets in 2022.

• Started my own blog, publishing content on it, and seeing organic traffic going up slowly.

• Stated this newsletter to share my journey and share the lessons I learn in content creation. (A little nervous)

Why started this newsletter?

I wanted to find a way to connect with my audience in a more meaningful way, and I believe that newsletters are the perfect tool for that.

It allows me to share my personal learnings and experiences in content creation and provide valuable insights and tips to help my subscribers improve their own content creation skills. It also helps me to become more comfortable with writing, email marketing, and storytelling on a weekly basis.

There are many benefits to having a newsletter, such as:

• Direct and personal connection with the audience

• Increased reach and engagement

• More control over design and layout

• Targeted and personalized messages

• Increased brand awareness and loyalty

• Opportunities for monetization

• Measurable results

• Drive traffic to a website or other online platforms

• Cost-effective marketing solution

• Builds an email list of interested subscribers.

Let's see where I can go with this newsletter... (Curious)

Overall, my aspiration is not to take over the niche or something but to learn about how the internet and search engines work, how content is created and delivered, how it affects people and the economy, how to start a business remotely, how people can become producers from consumers, and more.

And I would love to share my journey of learning, creation, experimentation, experiences of success and failures, etc., with an audience who want to learn more about content creation, like me.

And who also wanna go through the BTS of a creator's life, who desires to be profitable with his work as a content creator, working remotely from a laptop and internet from India.

What Creative Streams do I Manage?

As a content creator, I always say that we need to be a jack-of-all-internet-trades.

This means that we need many skills to become a successful creators until we have a VC investor backing us on our creator journey, which allows us to delegate tasks to freelancers or employees. (not general)

And we learn all these skills for becoming a professional creator in a particular or a set of creative streams.

For example: Let's take podcasting. To become a podcaster, one should learn skills such as audio production, writing, storytelling, interviewing, marketing, podcast hosting, technical skills, networking, audience engagement, continual learning, and having a passion for the topic (and more with time).

So I'm also working on a set of skills to learn to manage my creative streams, that I'm currently passionate about, like:

1. Blogging - My Personal Blog

2. Twitter Audience Building - My Personal Twitter Account

3. Building my portfolio of Digital Products

4. Building an Email List - The Creator's Newsletter

5. Meeting & Engaging with other creators and industry experts.

These are the streams that I manage, currently.

Last but not least...

What are my Plans for 2023?

In 2023, I plan to continue to grow my audience, improve my skills and expand my creative streams to include video content creation in terms of reels, YT videos, or courses (not sure about that).

I also plan to offer paid services and products to help my audience achieve their goals faster, at a rate that could pay for the hard work I'm gonna do for them (just like most businesses do)

If I go more specific about my goals, then let me announce them here. After all, I'm here sharing insider access to my journey with you all.

The list goes as:

• Write 200+ articles and cross 50k pageviews on my blog

• Crossing 10k+ followers on my Twitter Account

• Complete 5k subs on this Email Newsletter (Making this community bigger and better) 

• Launch 5 freebies and 2 Paid Digital Products this year

• Plan to continue meeting and learning from industry leaders in 2023.

• Read 1 book related to content creation/productivity every month

• Write 10 guest posts on high DA websites, and backlink them with my blog.

• Get profitable by the end of this year (the sooner the better) 

• Start video content this year (as an exploration and experiment of re-purposing content) 

• Start working on a SaaS product.

I know I'm a little ambitious with 2023, but it's just that I have set the bar high is a great way to challenge myself and strive for personal and professional growth.

That's a wrap!

Thanks for reading, and I'm looking forward to connect with you next Friday with tips and insights in content creation.
