Completely agree. Platforms are lead sources, not foundations. I tell creators all the time: if you don’t control the cash flow, you don’t control the lifestyle. The goal isn’t just to get followers, it’s to build something that can’t be shut off while you’re asleep.
Good one. Sets me thinking of my own digital store.
One that I own entirely.
🙏🏻
Great advice! Going to share this with my audience.

Thanks for the link, Joe. I think Substack is a few years away from jumping the shark, but, like the rest: it will.
Great advice here.
This was so important to hear, Joe!
I’m curious what those “billboards” look like since there are still so many potential clients still clinging to dated and sometimes dead platforms.
Your warning are important but your preparation is critical.
That’s a solid definition. Thanks
