Description

What if the only way you were making money in your business was about to shift and you didn’t have to say yes to one more client to do it? As a service provider I got comfortable: one offer, bookings flowing, dream clients, but I also knew there was a cap. If I didn’t add something, I was stuck trading time for money forever. 

So I took action. And you can too. In today's episode, I'm sharing 3 revenue streams that every creative should have in their business! Plus, you'll hear a bonus revenue stream that I've included in my own business.

In this Episode:

  • How affiliate income can plug into your existing content and audience for a quick and real boost.
  • Why digital products are still a win, how to start small, and how they scale without you being in every session.
  • Mentorship/consulting: how you bring your expertise forward, test it gently, and build something new without abandoning your core service.
