The turning point isn't when you publish 100 blog posts.
It's not when you gain 1,000 followers.
And it's not when you collect a million views.
It's the first time you turn nothing into something.
That's when you become a creator.
That's when everything changes.
Now, on to this week's ideas...

"To get customers to say yes, remove the reasons they say no."
I've sold and helped others sell a lot of products over the years and in the process of doing so learned a few things about what it takes to create something people want to buy.
In this post I share 40 one-sentence product sales tips including advice about how to create products people want, find people who want them, and convince people to pay for them.

2. Five Reasons To Take The Blockbuster Approach To Creating Content
"There is almost no competition for blockbuster articles. Almost no one spends dozens of hours on every article to make it the best article on that topic in the world."
I love strategic approaches to content and here's one worth considering.

5. How To Create A Strategic Powerpoint Presentation
"If you're not trying to cause an action or some other change in attitude or belief, then what's the purpose of the deck?"
This must be presentation week because yesterday I sent This Is How I Do It subscribers an in-depth breakdown of how I create presentations and today I discovered this great bit of advice on the subject.

My Final Words Of The Week
I'm inspired by creators.
Not just the ones who make things relevant to my interests, but any creator who puts their heart and soul into serving a specific community.
Terrell Johnson is one of those people.
It's a great newsletter about running (and SO much more) that's attracted a large audience of wonderful people around it.
Have a great week!
Josh
PS - If you enjoy my newsletter I'd love you to tell others about it.
Thanks!
