The Value Litmus Test: Will This Make Money?

💰 The Million-Pound Content Question
"Will this piece of content empower a reader to do their job better, make a smarter decision, or solve a nagging problem?"
If you can't answer "yes" with specific examples, don't publish it.
Weaponise Your Expertise: From Opinion to Authority
Trust isn't given; it's earned through proof. In a world of AI-generated fluff, verifiable expertise is your most powerful differentiator. Stop telling people you're an expert and prove it.
