Create your own role; starting now.

Now more than ever, we're existing in a reciprocal economy with our audience. As much as we provide value to our followers, they provide value to us. Throughout this year, I've spoken with content creators, journalists, folks who have gone solo and either succeeded, failed, or chosen to pursue it just on the side. These conversations have led to insights, learnings, and further understanding about what it means to be a media solopreneur.

This guide offers advice, guidance, and tools towards creating your own future as a media solopreneur. Whether you're new to the game, or just looking to level up your skills; start from wherever you feel is right for your stage in the creators journey.
