If you’ve been listening to the Daily Writer Podcast any length of time, you know that around here, we don’t just emphasize writing. We also spend a lot of time talking about other activities that help you build a business around your writing.

Even if you don’t aspire to create a business, the fact remains that if you’re writing books and selling them, you DO have a business! I want you not only to write great books, but also to be successful in marketing them and monetizing your message and content in other ways.

That’s why I’m excited to bring you this conversation with my good friend, John Stange. He is the founder of https://desirejesus.com and Lead Pastor of Core Creek Community Church in Langhorne, Pennsylvania. He hosts three podcasts: The Chapter-A-Day Audio Bible, Daily Devotions with Pastor John, and Dwell on These Things.

John has written dozens of books, most of which are focused on spiritual growth, leadership, marriage, and practical aspects of following Jesus.

He’s also the founder of Platform Launchers, an online membership group devoted to helping you launch and monetize your online platform. I’ve been a member of Platform Launchers for a couple of years and can tell you that it’s a fantastic group where you can learn essential business skills from John and the other members.

In this conversation, we talk about one of John’s newest books, Build, Grow, and Monetize your Online Platform: The proven formula for sharing your message, expanding your audience, and earning your income online. John shares how to get started building your online platform, going ahead and not waiting for permission, how to use one weekly piece of content in several ways, why you should write short books, and much more.

If this conversation encourages you, go ahead and grab a copy of John’s book and make sure to check out Platform Launchers. (Note: this is an affiliate link for the group. If you sign up, I receive a small percentage of your membership fee at no extra cost to you.)
