Reusability

Strategy where content creation and marketing become indistinguishable - every piece of content serves both audience value and business growth simultaneously

How It Works

Components

Choose expertise area you can demonstrate results in

2

Create consistent valuable content showing your process/results

3

Build undeniable proof through documented transformation

4

Accumulate audience who trusts your methods

5

Launch products that directly relate to demonstrated expertise

When to Use

When building personal brand, launching products in competitive markets, or when you have expertise to demonstrate over time

When Not to Use

When you need immediate revenue, lack expertise to demonstrate, or in markets where trust isn't a key differentiator

Anti-Patterns to Avoid

Trying to monetize too early before building trustCreating content unrelated to eventual productFocusing on entertainment over demonstrable valueNot showing actual results or transformation
