Apple Podcasts Surpasses 1 Million Podcasts

🤔 Selling Services vs. Selling Value 🤔

‼️ Spoiler Alert: Selling value is better.

I've been thinking a lot about this lately.

**I’ll use my business as an example:**

I can say that I provide:
- Branding
- Websites
- Podcasts
- SEO
- Digital Marketing
- ...

OR, I can sell:
- Business growth
- Clarity of vision
- An audience
- More leads
- More sales.

What's better?

Obviously it’s better to sell value.

There are millions of website designers in the world. If I simply sell websites, my potential clients could literally go anywhere else and receive the same service. Selling value on the other hand lets them know what transformation you can create in their life. It’s much harder for competitors to compete on that.

PS: My LinkedIn headline will be changing soon. I don't think "JMH Media. ⭐️ Creating Brands | 🖥 Websites | 🎙 Podcasts | ✍🏻 Content | 🔥 Digital Marketing" fits my new vision.

😱 Are you afraid to grow? 📈

Sometimes I am. The past month has been insane! I have about 10 web design projects that I'm working on, and it just keeps getting busier and busier.

While this is a good problem to have, it can be stressful... I'm at the point where I've decided to do 2 things:

1. I'm going to start charging more. This way I can take on less, higher-profile clients.
2. I'm going to start bringing in people to help grow and scale my business.

That's scary though!

Up to this point, my business has been all me. I'm a freelancer. If I fail, it's just me.
If I succeed, it's just me.
Bringing people in creates opportunities for growth, but also more pressure. Now, I'll be responsible for others.

Anyway, wish me luck! :)

Is content creation worth it? It's a lot of work!

It's worth it if... 👇🏻


I just got off a call with someone that is incredibly passionate about a specific topic. They want to create a blog and podcast, but they wonder: is it worth it? it's a lot of work.

Here's my answer: What's your end goal?

Are you doing it as a hobby, or do you want it to make money?

Don't get me wrong. A blog and podcast can make A LOT of money.

That said, most people burn out long before they get there.

If you're doing it because it's something you love to do, then you're more likely to make it to the point where it makes money.

Find something you'd do even if it never makes a penny. Then work as hard as you can to make a 1M+ :)
