For The Interested - FTI #329: The only part that matters

Now, on to this week's ideas...

The Starting Five
1. How To Look Great On Video
In this week's episode of my I Want To Know podcast, home video setup expert Kevin Shen shares the three most common video setup mistakes people make, how to build a home studio on a budget, and more tips to help you not look like a hostage on your next Zoom call.

2. My Playbook For Creative Entrepreneurs
I was recently interviewed on The Knowledge podcast and shared a bunch of frameworks you can use to find your audience, create work you're proud of, and avoid burning out.
3. A Week's Worth Of Tweet Templates Your Audience Will Find Valuable

4. 30 One-Sentence Mindset Tips For Side Hustlers
Jessica Williams found my one-sentence tips posts helpful (like the ones where I share email tips and writing tips), so she decided to "borrow" the format and create a list of her own.
And you know what? They're good.
5. 20 Lessons For New Podcasters From A Podcaster Who Got One Million Downloads In Two Years

My Final Words Of The Week
You might not care about my Skill Sessions.
(Though you'd probably find them REALLY helpful.)
But I bet you'll find value in this breakdown of how I sell my Skill Sessions and the business model behind them.
It's one that's working well as revenue is up 61% compared to the previous year.
Have an interesting week!
Josh
