TN95: How to create free content that will grow your portable business
Before starting to sell your products or services, this is the one thing you need to do in order to succeed in your portable business: provide valuable, consistent free content to your audience. You might already have a blog, a newsletter or other channel and struggle to find and create content to share. Or even if you don’t have a business yet, this episode will help you understand why content is so important.
Content gives your potential customers access to your expertise. Content is the gateway to your business. Without free content, it’s like having a clothing brand without a store to try on the clothes.

What you will learn in this episode:
- Why you are doing a disservice to you and your audience if you are not creating consistent free content
