The Best Career Move You Can Make in Your 20’s and 30’s
Most people think this will get you fired
Does your employer scare you?
The biggest lie about posting content online is that your boss will care. It’s what the big Fortune 500 CEOs want you to believe.
They don’t want you to question the status quo.
They want you to drive to the office, waste away at a desk, and barely have time for yourself.
Why?
They want to control you.
But your boss isn’t going out of their way to find your content.
Because when you have the courage to post online, big things happen.
The best career move I’ve made was posting my ideas on the internet and building a personal brand.
Five reasons it’s helped…
1. I surprise my boss with my knowledge
I was a freelancer when I started at my company.
I edited the ads and YouTube videos.
Slowly, I dished out my knowledge about online brands, and I was invited to meetings to share my ideas.
Eventually, they offered me a full-time role: full-remote with health benefits.
Put in work when no one is watching, and you’ll be surprised where your effort can take you.
2. I became a thought leader in my industry
How many video editors are there?
How many video editors write about their experience week after week?
Now, think of your career.
If you write online or make videos about what you’ve learned, you’re ahead of 90% of your peers.
You’re a thought leader.
And when you’re a thought leader, you gain perceived credibility — which can bring new opportunities to you.
3. Posting online helps me hire top talent
I hired a video editor in under 72 hours last week.
I got a lead for an editor who’d worked with some big names like JonTron and Diary of a CEO.
Then I DM’d him on Twitter. He responded within 12 hours. We set up a call, and the rest is history.
How’d I do it?
I barely did anything. I let my Twitter account with a solid bio and daily tweets do the talking for me.
If your boss gets mad that you write online, show him how you can hire top talent with it.
4. I’ve made thousands posting on platforms
One such platform is Medium.
I’ve written there for 3+ years and have made up to $500 per article.
That’s extra pocket change to:
- Invest in courses or in the markets
- To take my gf out on a date
- To spend how I like
Am I quitting my job to become s Medioum writer? Hell no.
I’d never rely solely on a platform to provide me with all my income. That’s playing with fire.
And this leads me to my final point.
5. Most importantly, I have a backup plan
If your job is your only source of income, you’re one misstep from poverty.
It hurts to hear, but creating content online is like having a digital backlog of opportunities for yourself.
- You can take blog posts and turn them into a book for sale
- You can post video content on Instagram to push your side business.
- You can build up an email list, affiliate market high-ticket products, and get a percentage of the sales
A job is good, but if something were to happen it, would you be out of options?
