The LIE About Monetizing Jun 01, 2021

Show notes

There's a myth...no, a lie...that is so pervasive in the online platform world that it makes me sick. That lie says that monetizing a platform is a form of selling out. That lie says that as soon as you start thinking like a business owner and not a benevolent content creator, it changes you from someone who is seeking to serve into a greedy, money-hungry mogul. This is simply not true! In this episode, I bust the LIE about monetizing!
