Here’s what to expect from this episode:

Are you giving away too much for free? You may worry that you’re giving away too much value in your podcast or in other parts of your business, like Instagram or blog posts. A lot of people I’ve talked to have expressed this fear.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing my opinion on this topic. Your thoughts are valid and can be rooted in the fear that someone will copy your free work or that your audience will always expect free content from you and will never support you by paying for your resources.

Providing valuable, free content is good and necessary to build trust with your audience. You may wonder why your audience would ever want to pay for your content if they can get it for free, and that’s what I’m going to be sharing with you today because they absolutely will.

By the end of this episode, I hope you’ll see the benefits and have a mindset shift to want to give, give, give because I promise it will pay off! I’d love to hear your thoughts on this conversation, so send me an email or send me a message on Instagram @podcasting for educators.
