A Heartfelt Shook

There are only 3 ways to grow your creator business:
Get more views (traffic)

1. Turn more viewers into customers (conversion)
2. Get customers to spend more (product/offer)
3. The hard part? Knowing what to fix right now.

Here’s a simple guide:

1. Optimize TRAFFIC first if:
You’re not getting top views in your niche
You haven’t fully committed to a YouTube strategy

2. Build a PRODUCT if:
You’ve got significant traffic but nothing to sell
You’ve maxed out short-term growth tactics

3. Optimize CONVERSION if:
You have solid traffic and a product that people actually want
But you don’t have proper sales systems in place
