Hello everyone!

I will be covering the best takeaways from the book I'm reading with the CTP Mastermind Group.

Part 7 is about diversification. After you have a very stable foundation, good audience size and revenue, you can start thinking about how to branch out.

You built the model and are reaping the rewards with new subscribers and audience loyalty. Now is the time to diversify your portfolio and stake your claim as the leading voice in the industry.

Chapter 19 TakeAway - A Word of Warning

The reason I choose this one is that some people tend to acquire and launch a variety of programs and products to everyone almost without any time interval and hoping they are generating a new source of revenue.

But to take your business to the next level, you need to start building extensions beyond the base that create new revenue opportunities, but with a warning. If the audience for your base hasn't had enough time to truly trust you and your content, quickly building out an extension can be catastrophic.

The point is this: definitely launch brand extensions with new revenue opportunities as quickly as possible, but not until you believe your audience will support it.

What's the point in building a new thing if you even haven't build a solid audience in the first place?

Chapter 20 TakeAway - Two Things

Blogging sites and media companies want and need two things: The first is the capability to tell stories. They have the people and processes to consistently churn out amazing content. The second, and maybe more important, is that blogs and media sites come with built-in-audiences.

I wonder if there is such a platform that combines the two...

My thoughts so far

It is a good thing to start with one focus on building a good base in content and audience and eventually build your own business/program/product from the experience you have got so far.

But it will reach a point that you will want to go to the next level, to branch out, to diversify.

From creating posts I went to doing videos and later on built my program to help others in something I'm an expert on. I feel that I'm still building my audience but I'm always thinking of other ways to diversify myself and gathering ideas.

The main thing is, don't stop, keep moving!
Even if you are good with what you have right now, why stop there?
So many things you still can do while you're alive :)

That's about it for today!

Thanks for sharing. Diversifying is a very smart thing to do however first you do need to create the foundation and get that foundation to know, like and trust you before giving them too many options to chose from. Keep with the one focus just diversify within it.

I like to apply this on Hive...going to other communities to show myself through engagement.
This is a nice way to diversify my brand and learn new things from other communities at the same time :)

Not sure if you can consider this as diversification. I started on Hive in a very unfamiliar field - nft blockchain-based games via Splinterlands! And then after a few months, I found cent.blog and ecoTrain. The first one accepts articles related to economics and the second, spirituality and meditation. Just recently, I found both CTP and ListNerds, great platforms for finance and content marketing. LeoFinance is more challenging to me for I know little about cryptocurrency and almost next to nothing about the Eurodollar market.

Since it's about Hive it can be considered a diversification. There are so many communities out there that even though when you start you first go to comfortable topics, eventually you want to know more about other topics and you find about other new communities, which can bring new relationships and even new rewards from those communities that have their own token.

Yes, you're right! I am really happy that I am now starting to read again two new fields: Eurodollar and content marketing. Thanks again for introducing the book. 😊

"Keep Moving" Excellent words of advice. If we aren't moving (growing), we might as well be dead. Thanks for sharing.

Diversifying makes sense. I finally started getting that a few months ago, hence why I joined Listnerds.

We eventually branch out to other things to know more about them which can bring a whole new vision. I am glad that you joined ListNerds or it wouldn't be as fun 😋

I think hive has the potential to become such a platform, just needs time! Thanks for your article, lovely weekend reading. !PIZZA

That was my thought when I wrote this post and I do believe Hive has such potential! In fact, I believe that it already is, we just need more believers 😋
