I'm still trying to figure out what would be worth $5 per month for memberships. It's not like I offer anything extravagant. I'm a writer who helps others learn how to write and blog. I don't offer paid classes because I share information freely. And I don't have a rough draft of creative pieces because I don't put in the effort to finish my novel.
Mostly, it's because I still have a bit of impostor syndrome rolling around in my head that I'm not really good enough to warrant charging others to subscribe to me. But, I'm fairly sure that most creatives already suffer from something similar, or have constant bouts with depression.
Still, I think it would be fun to build a community and grow together as inspired creators. And I suppose that's what I do for several people...inspire and motivate.
I was debating on writing a few eBooks exclusive to supporters. Or perhaps even on a major discount if I publish a novel. But then I would, I don't know, have to actually finish writing something.
On the upside, I think I have a good grasp of my day and a proper working schedule.
Finally...
Given the sheer number of projects I'm involved in, it's quite difficult to balance everything without feeling overwhelmed. But if I take each day one at a time and stick to my schedule, I can actually do a lot more than I thought. The trick is to not focus on ALL of the projects simultaneously.
So, this week, I'm going to start putting together a few things for members and start exploring what it means to me to be a creative inspiration and, God forbid, influencer.
Which is kind of funny, when I think about it. I never thought of myself as an influencer, but I suppose that's what I am. Well, kind of. I help people get to where they want to be. And given my nature, it's hard for me to charge someone for that access.
Anyway, I suppose I'll wrap this up. I have a lot to do this week and some goodies to put together.
Thank you, Chris, for kickstarting something that I hope will turn out awesome.
