How to monetize your content in 2024

Hey good people !

I hope you had such an amazing last week . If you didn't , it's alright . Let's hope for a better week ahead, but most importantly work towards making it better.

Why is Denis sending out this newsletter on a Monday night ? Well, yesterday was my birthday so I kinda decided to give myself the day and not work on anything. I basically spent the better of the day planning on what's the ideal direction for my business as a whole . I can't wait to put every little piece into reality and document for the process .

Anyhow , do you know that you're a content creator? Oh you don't ? Well if you've ever posted a video , some writing , an audio , a picture or meme to any social media e.g Facebook, Instagram, Twitter , TikTok, YouTube etc, you've created content. The difference between you and “content creators” is that they're deliberate with what they post and speak to a specific audience. Content creation is the new dream career . Over 200 million people worldwide are content creators .Stats show that over 30% of children between 10-17 years in the US have “YouTuber” as their dream career. Why is that ? What I've learnt for almost two years doing this content creation thing is that;

1) it gives you creative freedom . Not just for the videos/posts but products , communities etc . You've seen this with different creators e.g Mr Beast's Feastibles a chocolate brand, KSI & Logan Paul's Prime Hydration a sports energy drink , Binging by Barbish a cookware brand by Barbish or AceIT by yours truly ( we're actually building an App for AceIT 🤓) .

2) it gives you the freedom to work from anywhere. As a matter of fact you can work from your apartment, your grandma's home in the village, at the beach , in a 5 star hotel . Let's just say anywhere.

3) It pays , really well . The average content creator in the US makes $48,000 which is an average of $4000 per month . That's an income paid to top management in regular jobs , right ?

4) you're building your own business , your own legacy

5) it gives you exponential growth. You can be at $100 per month today and $1000 per month four months later.

6) it's easier to be appreciated & recognized .

Sounding sweet , right ? But let me touch on pointer no. 3 . How do content creators make money ? How can you make it yourself? Incase you're considering it as your next career. These are the 9 major pay checks

1) Adsense - this is the most common . It's shared income between the hosting platform and creator . E.g YouTube pays 55% to YouTubers and keeps 45%.

2) Affiliate Marketing - Personally I believe this is the forgotten king . It's simply a commission you get for promoting a product or service . E.g the Amazon associates program which pays people commissions for marketing goods on Amazon.

3) Launching and selling your own products - These could be courses , ebooks , ever green webinars etc . These too are the newest cash cows for creators

4) Consultancies

5) Selling Merch - Tshirts , hoodies , caps etc

6) Brand deals

7) Memberships - on platforms like YouTube , Patreon etc

8) Donations from viewers

9) Creating your third party site and drive traffic to it - this can be a discord , a SaaS , Telegram channel , site , Mobile app , newsletters etc

A creator can actually have all these 9 running at the same time . If you're starting out today, do me a favor, don't leave money on the table .

I'll do an indepth video about the 9 pay checks on my YouTube channel, how they work and how you can get opportunities for each of them so you may want to subscribe and turn on your notifications & wait for the video. Follow link :- https://youtube.com/@denisdahub?si=V5cysGcs1TvFWkV-
