I’d read that before. It actually points to another Hopium trope that Jessica assigns to Srini Rao in her piece. “You just need to make amazing content and play a long game.” That’s perfect because it’s unquantifiable and open ended. If you fail, well your content simply wasn’t awesome enough… or if your content was good, then you quit too soon, you really weren’t playing a long game. It’s the guru version of a shell game - it’s a sleight of hand trick where they get to make this generic comment that sounds profound but has no weight or merit behind it and then they get to defend it with subjective arguments that you can’t refute.

Beware of “Internet Marketing Math”. We’ve all seen this. “To make $100k/yr, you just need to make $275/day. You just need to sell 10 low priced, $27.50 products per day and you’ll get there.” This math trick is a trope. It gets pulled out and re-used in various forms all the time and has been for almost the full 20 years I’ve been building businesses online. I’ve seen this applied to coaching, consulting, SaaS, plugins, service businesses, and everything in between. The numbers and modeling change, but the illusion is the same. And it’s always being pushed by someone selling Hopium. It’s not necessarily “misinformation” either - the math checks out. But it’s a persuasion gimmick. It’s breaking down a big number into seemingly more achievable smaller numbers to make it feel more realistic. And that’s the Hopium angle. Whenever anyone starts reverse engineering big numbers into smaller numbers to make you think you can do something… run away. Here’s a better plan for you. Rather than focusing on selling 10 of the $27.50 products a day that you need to do every day for a year to make $100k, focus on selling… 1. Not 10. 1 Get the process down, refine it, figure out how to do it… Then sell 1. And you know what you do next? Yep, learn how to sell a 2nd one. Scaling up with something you know how to do is practical and works. Playing pretend in ImaginationLand of selling 10 of something every day when you don’t have a product and haven’t sold a single one isn’t going to get you anywhere.

Can you clearly state the value of what you do? 🤩 According to creative business strategist @jccabel, it's the biggest thing creatives are missing. If you wanna hear how Jessica figured out her work's value, listen to her Brand Your Passion episode! 🎧 makerandmoxie.com/blog/jessica-a…

The Dark Forest in the middle of creative projects is when you start to doubt your idea, your ability, and even yourself. We all get stuck in the forest from time to time, and I’m talking to @Jenny_Blake on the #ItsFreeTime podcast about how to get out. itsfreetime.com/episodes/195
