You are WASTING your life freelancing (do this instead)

Back in the fall, I created my first Kindle Direct Publishing product that I really believed in.

I’d made a couple things before, sure, and I thought they were pretty good.

But at the end of the day I was trying to hack a niche instead of creating something I would personally value.

That all changed when I published a productivity tool called The Power To-Do List (affiliate link), a one-page solution that helped me focus my scattered mind and 2X-3X my output in all key aspects of my life.

I was so damn excited about this KDP project, and I figured everyone else would be too.

People always ask how I’ve written close to 600 articles, published 50 YouTube videos, and created other products while juggling a full-time job, daily workouts, and a busy family.

“THIS THING!” I’d tell them.

And yet, for the first few months, it drew nothing but crickets.

Then, earlier this month, something started to happen.

And it serves as the perfect example for this post, in which I’ll explain why freelancing should be your last resort and why the math will almost always favor publishing your own content.

Let’s discuss.

Freelance or independent content creation? I definitely have a preference. (Licensed by the author under the Unsplash+ License)
