Just invested $75 into my brand. Purchased eBooks from @RichPointofView and @baydiangirl for Pinterest and SEO strategies respectively.

Some years ago, I would be reluctant AF to invest in my business.

I did a lot of DIY research. I still do actually.

I also know that my time is value. It is THE MOST EXPENSIVE thing in my offerings.

I readily exchange money for the value someone else has placed on their time by way of a digital product.

Because I recognise while DIY is fun. It is very costly. I am no longer of the mindset that I HAVE TO DO IT ALL by myself.

By purchasing from other content creators, I

1. Support their business
2. Gain access to their knowledge on-demand
3. Can likely ask them a question if something isn’t clear to me, which usually helps them to update their offering or create a new one

But the most important reason I purchase from other creatives is to SAVE MYSELF THE TRIAL AND ERROR they already went through.

I only ever purchase from people who give “free game” generously.

I also tend to purchase from POCs.
