When I think of the content I've paid a subscription for there are a few key things that helped draw me in. In this context I'm focusing solely on content from online creators such as bloggers, podcasters and youtubers. 1. There is value in their free content There are people whose tweets, blog posts, podcast … Continue reading Three things that make content worth paying for

A 67 second podcast
Thats how long it took me to read through one of last weeks blog posts. For quite some time now I've been thinking of creating audio versions of my blog posts. There are various reasons I have resisted, from not having any equipment to wondering whether I'm taking on too much (I've written over 800 … Continue reading A 67 second podcast
Why I stopped listening to my favourite podcasts?
Over the past couple of months I have become more and more aware of all the thoughts and opinions of others that I consume each day. If you also use social media and regularly consume content such as podcasts or YouTube videos then chances are, you've felt it too. I had began to find that … Continue reading Why I stopped listening to my favourite podcasts?
Who are my readers?
I recently listened to an episode of Akimbo where a listener asked Seth about who he thought his audience was. Seth's answer was pretty wonderful. It got me thinking about my own audience, my readers, people like you. For me it's never been about appealing to a particular demographic, age, race, social class, etc. I've … Continue reading Who are my readers?
It doesn’t matter where you share your work
When it comes to being someone who is creative, puts stuff out there and has ideas to share there is one piece of advice I've heard from two people that will never grow old. It is something worth remembering as things change and develop over time. The advice is to not become attached to the … Continue reading It doesn’t matter where you share your work

Another indicator is if the person were to do what they did 5 years ago today, how would it be received. A few … Continue reading Ahead of their time
Paid work and free work
I think it was on an episode of Seth Godins Podcast, Akimbo, that he spoke about deciding what you want to get paid for and what you'll do for free. It isn't something I've heard spoken about often but I think it's quite important. These days most of us put stuff out for free whether … Continue reading Paid work and free work
What do you want to be known for?
When Seth Godin answered this question he said ' I would like to be known by what the people who have learned from me have taught other people'. I think this was said on an episode of Tim Bilyeus' podcast, Impact Theory. If you're somebody that creates or puts stuff out there, I think it's … Continue reading What do you want to be known for?
The little things that bring us joy
I recently discovered a new podcast and listening to it brings me joy. I find myself often relating to the conversations they have or smiling/laughing. It's so useful to fill your life with little things that bring you joy that you have easy access to. Something extravagant like a week in the Maldives isn't accessible … Continue reading The little things that bring us joy
Things worth passing on
Like books, podcasts, talks etc If someone asks for a recommendation when your interests aren't mainstream, it's easy to hold back. It's easy to be reluctant to share that local band who are heavily influenced by 80s synth pop. You might skip over that book you read a while back by a neurologist purely out … Continue reading Things worth passing on
