Creating an Income From Values-Led Work, Experimentation, and Community with Nicole Antoinette
Episode description
Today I’m in conversation with Nicole Antoinette, the host of the Real Talk Radio podcast and someone who is the best example I could think of of creating an income from your passion and values. I was keen to get Nicole on the show because she is always so honest and frank about money and the realities of life and business, and because I knew she would have so much wisdom to share from her 12 plus years navigating the internet. In this episode we talk about community-building, Patreon and subscription-based business models, pricing and finances, the very practical application of your values in your business and experimenting and finding your way. There are just a ton of a-ha moments and permission slips in here and I’m so excited for you to listen.
Here's what we talk about in this episode:
- Nicole's background & story
- How to build a business when you are multi-passionate
- Turning a Podcast into a business
- The Patreon model to monetize the Podcast
- How to get people on board with the Patreon model and funding goal;
- How to make the Patreon successful as the fundamental part of the business;
- Having an experimental mindset
- Building a community
- Introducing new offerings that are aligned with your values
- How Nicole doesn't rely on Instagram for business purposes
- How Nicole fits in work as a digital nomad.
