You're doing well and built a community of 1,000.

Now you wanna release a PAID guide.

Here's why you should release a FREE guide first.

THREAD

Paid guides are great ways to make money.

But releasing one too early can actually hurt you in the long run.

Let's run through the benefits of starting with a free guide.

Free guides are easier to sell and give you practice selling.

If you can't sell something free, you won't sell something for money.

Also, a free guide showcases the quality of your work.

Giving your knowledge away shows kindness.

Both of these build leverage.

All you should be asking for is an email.

People are willing to exchange an email for something free.

Email addresses are the most valuable asset in community building.

An email address allows you a direct connection to your community.

No worrying about platforms or algorithms censoring your message.

Also, you don't have to worry about losing your followers if the platform shuts down.

With the email, you continue to build leverage, trust, and authority.

You can send them updates as frequently as you want.

Later you can create a more in-depth guide and charge more.

Since you took the time to build leverage instead of making the quick money.

Your community will be happy to pay you back.

And you still have their email to repeat the process in the future.

If you found value in this thread, I would be honored to have you RT.

It helps many more benefit from the information.
