Go take 3 seconds to google “business card on steroids”, what did you find? . . . You'll find many people talking about how you should write a book. Because when you have a low-priced product packed with value, you can grow your brand quickly. You can go on podcasts to talk about the ideas in your book. When you meet someone new, you can gift this person your book. That's why it is a "business card on steroids". (This is also why so many people published a book in the last few years) I self-published a book "Find Joy in Chaos" in 2022, so I can tell you this is true. I became the "Twitter guy". Many students in my premium program started with my $9.99 Kindle book. I'm not here to bore you with all the proud things bla bla bla, I'm actually here to tell you my regrets. I regret choosing Twitter to be the focus of my book. I liked helping people crack this platform, but now in 2024 I don't want to talk about Twitter/X anymore. I spent a total of 10 months working on this book and now I am not proud to mention it to people? What?! Yup, that's exactly right. I'm also a bit stuck because Amazon doesn't allow you to change a book title once it is published, so I cannot repackage the book. So this is why for most people, a signature free email course is the right business card on steroids, not a published book. Why's that? Here are the reasons:
If you have a well-established business and personal brand, sure, you can go the "write a book" route. For most creators, a free email course can make 10x more impact on your business's bottom line. If you haven't had an email course that can represent you like a business card on steroids, you have to give it a try. It is addicting to see new email subscribers come in on their own every day. I'll be running a live cohort soon to help you build your "business card on steroids" to reach new audiences. You'll get fill-in-the-blank templates and feedback throughout. Cheers, P.S. A special bonus is ending tomorrow. Don't miss out. P.S. In the last few days, many asked me "What's different about this cohort?" so I recorded a Loom video to share: |

Hey Reader, At the end of last year, I had a chance to meet Ali Abdaal and helped him with his latest course. You are probably wondering — "Is he the same in real life?" Yup! I can tell you that he is vibey, friendly, and open just like who he is in his videos. It was such a great experience collaborating with him that I wanted to document the course creation steps using AI and share them with you. Hopefully, it helps you when you're creating your next course! How I Used AI to Build Ali...
Hey Reader, 4 years ago, you could make a lot of money selling purely informational products. Today, with AI, content and information are commoditized, meaning you have to change how you teach and sell knowledge. So I did some thinking and reflecting, and here are my notes about the changes you can anticipate and what you can do to join in the next wave. What you can do when AI is dominating Cheers,— Kevon P.S. I'm keeping the email short because I want to put more energy and mind space into...
I've been busy. Busy climbing down the ladder of wealth creation. "What? Climbing down?" Yup, not climbing up. I’m climbing down. And in today’s email, I will share with you why. Let’s go back to early 2021. That’s when I earned my first dollar on the internet. Honestly, it felt like cracking the secret code to a better life. I was just sitting at home with my laptop, and I was making more money each month. I was mainly selling live and self-paced courses. By April 2023, I hit $12,789 in...
