Most new creators stop within weeks of starting.

This has happened with me a couple of times.

@jspector shares a great deal about creators and becoming a creator.

So I peered through his tweets to find and curate 5 Key Principles for Creators.

Here they are -
1. Accept Failure.

+ Failure is a door to improvement. https://twitter.com/jspector/status/1318268430542405632?s=20
+ More trials implies larger surface area of Luck.

Create a diverse and rich Body of Work. https://twitter.com/jspector/status/1324114141368385536?s=20
2. Embrace Marketing.

+ Change your Mindset about marketing. It will change your reality. https://twitter.com/jspector/status/1331842878037954561?s=20
+ Marketing your work is about Helping more people.

Stop it's a noble act when done ethically.

Marketing is a reflection of your Values. https://twitter.com/jspector/status/1321680918394843136?s=20
+ Marketing is not about spamming. It's about Teaching. Educating.

Help them see why your work matters in their Life. https://twitter.com/jspector/status/1310658286690107392?s=20
3. Put words to your Audience's thoughts.

+ A great song puts your emotions into words.
+ A great movie puts your situations in clear words.

It's about them, not you. https://twitter.com/jspector/status/1311063032391327744?s=20
+ Talk to them as if they are a friend.

Don't let jargon complicate communication. Connect with them. https://twitter.com/jspector/status/1310975376307433476?s=20
+ The Medium is the Message.

Your voice is unique. Have the Courage to share it. https://twitter.com/jspector/status/1319717983019819010?s=20
4. Develop Your Process.

+ Have a clear direction to move in.

+ Collect → Outline → Create → Edit → Publish. https://twitter.com/jspector/status/1310657747688407041?s=20
+ Figure out what works for you.

Editing while writing? Writing while collecting? https://twitter.com/jspector/status/1310658034725601281?s=20
5. Consistency is Key.

+ Have a Beginner's mindset. - Start even when you don't know much. https://twitter.com/jspector/status/1333820910130892801?s=20
+ Don't be so hard on Yourself. https://twitter.com/jspector/status/1310832276293345280?s=20
+ It'll take time. Stay on Course.

Don't be impatient. Things compound slowly at first, and then all at once. https://twitter.com/jspector/status/1319023407284015106?s=20
+ Small consistent steps and more powerful than big leaps.

Keep iterating. Keep working forward. https://twitter.com/jspector/status/1333927981849341953?s=20
Lastly, I loved this one from @jspector that summarises this beautifully. https://twitter.com/jspector/status/1320078749551869952?s=20
I look forward to @jspector's newsletter every Sunday. It's a goldmine for creators. Consider signing up for it.
