THE CREATOR PLAYBOOK
Ten mistakes that cost creators years
The expensive lessons — underpricing, no list, platform dependence — and how to skip them.
Every experienced creator made the same mistakes: waited for a bigger audience, priced from fear, built on rented land, and treated their store like a someday project. Here's the list, so you can skip a few years of it.
THE POTHOLE MAP
Skip the expensive ones
Waiting for a rounder follower number, refusing to charge properly, never collecting emails — three mistakes that cost most creators their first two years.
What you could offer
Waiting for 'enough'
There's no audience-size permission slip.
Pricing from fear
Cheap attracts the wrong buyers.
Building on rented land
No list = one ban from zero.
LEARN CHEAPLY
Other people's scars are free
You don't need to personally discover that a Reels account can vanish overnight. Build the list, own the store, sleep better.

Good questions
›What can I actually sell?
Digital downloads (guides, presets, templates), online courses, booked 1:1 calls, memberships and community access — mixed however you like on one page.
›What's free and what's paid?
The page, unlimited links and email capture are free forever. Selling needs Starter ($24/mo) or Pro ($49/mo) — 14-day free trial, 0% platform fee.
›How is this different from a link-in-bio tool?
A link page lists; a store sells. Checkout, delivery, receipts, CRM, email and community are built in — no extra subscriptions to glue together.
›Do I need an audience first?
It helps, but the store also builds one: every visitor can subscribe, and every buyer joins your list. Start where you are.
