Everything you need to know about running a creator business in 2025
including cognitive biases to avoid
If 2025 is the year you’re looking to start or scale your business…
It’s time to invest in short-form video.
Here’s what happened when I focused on short-form video:
Gained 70k followers
Converted to 10k newsletter subscribers
Converted to paying customers ($60k+ in revenue while doing this part-time)
Short-form video leads to:
Greater discoverability = more followers = more subscribers = more customers
(I’ll share more in this interactive event in Jan 2025; date tentative.)
First: addressing plancrastination
The problem:
Overplanning. You write a strategy doc and your “work” for the day is done.
You might research your niche and keywords for hours,
Then feel burnt out from the boring, non-creative work.
But you don’t actually take action and turn your goals into reality.
The solution:
Create habits and content systems to make taking action easier.
(I’ll share more at the event.)
Setting up systems
You think you need:
Expensive equipment
Complete content calendar and system
Automation
You actually need:
To start with what you have
A daily posting habit
A swipe files document for inspiration
Optimizing for conversions
How you define success:
Number of followers
Number of video views
Going viral (here’s why you shouldn’t)
What success actually is:
Consistent posting
View → follow → subscribe → buy conversion
Experimenting and testing hooks
Selling a digital product
What most people do:
Create an ebook or template based on their knowledge
Send a few emails or make a few posts
Move on to the next product idea
What you should do:
Build a community (can be via DMs or email, doesn’t need to be a whole community platform. It’s about developing relationships with people)
Identify common problems community members have
Create a product addressing those problems, and get feedback from community members
Promote the product at least 10 times in each platform (including email)
Turn product sales evergreen (include it in welcome email, website)

Reminder: upgrade before Jan 2025 for more
Next week, I’m doing a whole financial breakdown of 2024 (revenue streams, highest ROI activities).
But that transparency will be for premium subscribers only…
And the monthly premium subscription prices increase Jan 1 ($11 → $25).
Upgrade before then to get detailed insights.
Til next week,
Jennifer
P.S. if you’re already a premium subscriber, thank you for supporting my dreams 🫶
