101 of Creator Business

Let's imagine you're drawing as a hobby. You love it wholeheartedly—so why not monetize it? A business can be built around anything. Just define what you do, for whom, and how. We'll explore these basic strategies here.

1. Find Your WHY To Create A Clear Vision

(This helps you find endless motivation and define your actions)

To define your vision and what you want to do, ask yourself these questions:

• What do you want to do and what are you good at?

• Who can benefit most from what you want to do?

• What problems do your potential clients have?

• How can you solve these problems with what you do?

• What actions do you need to take to help others?

💡Your answers to these questions will shape your next steps.

In Roar of Soul, we empower and inspire people through education. You can do the same with whatever you believe is right.

Choose the field (niche) you want to work in (education, entertainment, etc.).

For example, if you want to teach English, you can connect specifically with language learners.

To sum up:

1. Write down what you do, for whom, and how.

2. Regularly review this to stay motivated and understand your potential impact on the world.

3. Clarify your niche to connect with the right audience from the start.

Rome was not built in a day, so it shone throughout the centuries.

This is the foundation for any business. Don't overcomplicate things at the beginning. Master the basics, learn as you go, and keep it simple.

2. Experiments Drive Success

(Network rules to find opportunities and sell your services or products)

In the creator business, you'll find yourself among talented people. Accept that you'll be surrounded by some of the most creative minds in the world. The competition level is intense—if you can shine among the best, you can shine anywhere.

💡But there's a cost = High Communication Skills.

You might have a great idea, solid expertise, and enough resources to succeed, but what drives success?

Authenticity and clarity in articulating your ideas.

• Authentic storytelling

• Visually attractive design

• Pleasant voice

Your path can take many forms, depending on your talents.

→ And the good news?

You can explore all these elements to find your unique way to stand out!

The main rule is: don't be afraid to experiment until you succeed!

3. Monetize Your Efforts

(Set clear goals—like reaching $10k—and plan how to achieve them)

Monetization comes together with the advertisement but before:

→ Your business MUST explain what you do because when people understand it, they can support you and benefit from your work. So it’s always a good idea to actively engage with your audience and share your journey.

Leverage multiple social media platforms strategically to expand your reach and connect with potential audiences.

1. TikTok excels at short-form video content to entertain preferably.

2. Instagram offers engagement through posts, stories, and reels.

3. X provides opportunities to build your brand (like Dan Koe).

You'll feel like a fish in water once you grasp this approach.

→ The more consistently you showcase your authentic self and demonstrate your talent across these platforms, the greater your visibility becomes—leading to exponentially more opportunities to monetize your skills and develop your business ventures.

But one question still arises, how can you monetize your creative work?

• Affiliate Marketing

• Sponsorships and Brand Deals

• Selling Your Products

• Memberships

• Ads

💡Advertising your products and content is key to monetizing your efforts. The more you promote your product, the more you stand to gain—this isn't just talk.

For example, imagine an art enthusiast scrolling through TikTok or Instagram Reels. They discover your video and become interested in your creative work.

After they follow you, your content reaches more people like them.

As a result, you attract more attention, and eventually, these followers become customers.
