How one creator made $1,332,400 across 6 revenue streams

This is a Twitter thread from Ryan Gum, in which he summarises a video Ali Abdaal posted to his YouTube channel, sharing his story and earnings for 2020.

Ryan's breakdown is fantastic, you should absolutely check it out! I also recommend watching Ali's full video on YouTube.

Here are my key takeaways (trying to not butcher Ryan's already superb summary):

• 🚴🏻‍♀️ It can take years of consistency and perseverance to build a sizeable audience
• 🎲 You need luck too, but when you're consistent, all you need is one viral blip
• 🎩 Consider your unique position/skills, and how you might leverage that to help others
• 💁🏼 Give before you ask—earn the privilege and trust to charge for your content
• 📦 "Find a product for your audience, not an audience for your product."
• 💰 Create multiple tiers—some people will pay a premium price for a premium experience
• 📢 Double down on your best marketing channel, even if you have multiple
• 🎡 Consider how you might diversify your income beyond just courses

Again, be sure to check out Ryan's Twitter thread or Ali's video on YouTube.
