For years I’ve been creating content and sharing my work (blogging, vlogging, and podcasting) online with my audience. It’s something I enjoy doing. It’s also a core part of my marketing strategy. The reason it’s a core part of my online marketing strategy is because it works. But here’s the thing. It only works, if you put in the work. Over the years, I’ve had countless conversations with entrepreneurs who say: - I need to start blogging - I need to start making videos - I need to launch my podcast  And days and weeks and months go by and they still say the same thing. In some cases, a full year or more goes by and still no blog, no videos, and not a single podcast episode to show for it.  Creating content is a powerful way of showing your expertise. It’s one thing to say the words, “I’m an expert and here’s what I do” but it’s quite another thing to deliver a premium piece of content to your ideal client that demonstrates your expertise right in front of them. So, if you’re reading this right now and you still haven’t created any content, or you haven’t been consistent with your content creation then I only have one question for you... What’s holding you back?   [10-Minute Challenge] Share your message on the platfrom / channel that works best for you. *** Like what you hear and want more free coaching tools?

When I first started out, I chose the brand name “The Path of Me,” which focused on helping people find their own distinct path (of purpose) in life. At the time, this idea resonated with me. In the beginning I struggled with having my name tied to my work. Confidence in my ability to serve was never an issue. However I did wrestle with whether or not I had the credibility needed to share my message as an authority figure. Perhaps it was imposter syndrome. Over the years I put out lots of content and promoted my work across the social media multiverse. I made hundreds of videos, wrote articles, and launched a podcast, not to mention all the opportunities to share my message in person via speaking gigs and trainings. This was a period of learning. Want to know what else I learned? There is only one way to find out. Tune in and let today's message help you in your journey. [10-Minute Challenge] Use what you learned in today's episode and share your message with your audience. *** Like what you hear and want more free coaching tools? Go to: www.RichPerry.com
