Self-help for sure, but they're not philosophers in the proper sense. If you're interested to build a business in this niche, you must be careful in defining what exactly you mean by philosophy, who your main audience is, and what problem you're helping them resolve.Mark Manson, Jordan Peterson, Tony Robbins, and Tim Ferriss
What do people buy that indicates they’d buy what you’re thinking of selling?Hey Fastlane fam,
I’m throwing this out there to see what bites and if anything snags my attention.
I realize I like to think a lot and figure things out. Like, a lot. And most recently I’ve been doing this with life and the human psyche.
What kind of business can you start with philosophy? What can you sell?
Do I become the next Mark Manson? Blogging and writing a book? Do I start a podcast, a Youtube channel?
Is the main approach: “start publishing content and hope that people like it”? And that’s when you can make money from book sales or speaking gigs?
Before that is it all just selling ads on a blog or podcast? This income would be near zero I’m sure. (Maybe I’m wrong?)
Would initial income come from my own info products? Books/courses/guides/whatever?
I think it’d be cool to be a cross between Mark Manson, Jordan Peterson, Tony Robbins, and Tim Ferriss.
(Probably mostly Peterson and Robbins.)
Mark got started with dating coaching and his book Models.
Jordan got started as a professor making controversial YT videos.
Tony got started with miracle healing on TV.
Not sure how Tim got started...
Anyway, I’m curious to ideas of the group
Cheers
