Happy Friday!
So… this was supposed to go out yesterday, but between month end chores and golf last evening, I didn’t get to sit back down here until well after 9 p.m. But we had a great time golfing, and honestly, I needed that break and outside time. So I’m ready to really kick it this weekend and get all kinds of stuff done and caught up.
Can you believe it’s September 2nd already? It’s a gorgeous day here in Central Ontario and right now I’m just starting my workday (It’s about 4 p.m. as I write this.) My chiropractor/acupuncture appointment this morning kicked the stuffing out of me, so I ended up coming home and crawling back into bed for a few hours.
I love September, and when I was a student, it was always my favourite month. The back to school and rekindling relationships, the sense of beginning a new adventure and excitement for the possibilities the new academic year would bring. I still miss that, and I do try to replicate it a bit by always having a major project to work on in September that’s going to change my business in some way.
This year, my September project is a Shopify store to sell end user printables! I got the store set up last night and need to customize it tonight after golf and get my first products for Lori’s September Listing Challenge in there. The challenge starts today, but you can still sign up through Tuesday, September 6 if you want to join the fun!
But I digress. (I do that a lot, don’t I?)
Back to the student thing…
I was talking about this with some friends earlier, and we all talked about how we had to make that mindset shift from student doing the work to please the teacher to entrepreneur doing the work to please our customers with products, and ultimately ourselves with the money we earn by sharing our knowledge and experience as content creators.
Which in turn got me thinking about the things you do need to turn yourself into a successful content creator. And here’s what I came up with:
Today’s Read: 8 Traits and Skills Successful Content Creators Have
We all know that to do a job well, you have to have certain traits and skills that lead you to be successful. And for content creators, it’s really no different. Yes, you should probably have some skill at creating the type of content you want to sell, but the truth is, you also need certain skills that lend themselves to making money.
Because one thing I’ve found over the years as a content creator, if you don’t have the ability to put yourself out there and ask for the sale, you can be the best writer or artist in the world, but you won’t have the success you are looking for or deserve.

- Multiple marketplaces where seasonal printables are being sold by the thousands.
- Highlights for each of the four quarters of every year — in demand niches and products that bring back customers year after year
