TIL: letters, Herostratus, fashion

Over the last 2 months, I’ve been working on creating an archive of The Influence Letter.

It was such an interesting and creative side-project that I enjoyed every minute of it.

The goal was to have a public archive of all the letters I share with my influencers.

Something minimal and practical.

To easily share anything that crosses my mind and have total control over it.

Knowing that I couldn’t complete all the needed tasks in a day or two, I decided to take the best time management approach I’ve learned this year.

All these years, every time I had a great idea, I went head first.

I created the full list of tasks that should be done.

I prioritized this list of tasks until everything was done.

And then I used not to get back on it.

No re-evaluation.

No planning for the next strategic steps forward.

I treated most ideas as a let-alone project.

A whole new approach that has helped me manage my time and my energy way better to create brands and projects worth creating is the following:

Identify a goal
Evaluate its importance
Decide to pursue it (or not)
Mark 2 X 4-hour blocks of the week specifically for this goal, every week on the calendar
Decide not to give up until the goal is achieved
Once the goal is achieved, make sure to get back on this project for a couple of hours every day, week, month, or year (depending on its importance)

The final result is exactly as I wanted it.

INFLUENCER GROWTH PROGRAM

Monetization is the hardest part of every influencer’s journey.

I knew that from day 1 and that’s why I spent countless months learning this part.

How to turn likes into revenue?

How to leverage the attention that you generate?

How to create an automated and scalable asset?

Those were some of the questions that I wanted answers to when I started working with influencers 5 years ago.

After doing hundreds of case studies and talking with dozens of influencers in my program I came up with some answers.

The thing is that my influencers didn’t need some answers.

They wanted all of the answers.

That’s why I decided to walk the extra mile.

I created the Influencer Monetization Unlock which is handy little book that breaks down step-by-step how influencers make money in our new digital age.

I created the Influencer Monetization Blueprint which is the 7 monetization ways broken down into a concise and understandable way for those who are starting out.

Over the last year, EVERY member of our program has had access to the Influencer Monetization Blueprint to understand in-depth the 7 different ways she can monetize as a creator.

Over the last year, and after interviewing and working with hundreds of influencers I can say that there is no shortcut to becoming a well-respected influencer.

You have to do and focus on the basics.

Growth & Monetization.

THINGS I’VE LEARNED

1.
hated or unknown?

Many people would rather be hated than unknown. In ancient Greece, Herostratus burned down the temple of Artemis purely so that he would be remembered. Nowadays we have influencers committing crimes and doing bad to people in real-time just so they get some clout. Herostratic fame.

2.
how to avoid most mistakes in life

Wanna know how to avoid some of the biggest mistakes in life?

Go to bed on time.

It’s crazy how many mistakes (some of them literally lethal) could be avoided if more people followed this rule.
