If you're involved in anything that's slow to earn revenue, take heart and inspiration from this X/Twitter thread by solopreneur Justin Welsh, posted last year.

Justin Welsh on X on Growing a business Online

In the thread, he covers everything from getting discovered to monetizing your audience.

As always, with threads like these, there should be no expectation that anyone is going to replicate what he's accomplished. I think that's a given. But I'm guessing you'll be able to find at least one or two bits of advice in this thread that will help you or inspire you to grow or monetize one of your current ventures.

Now on to this week's hand-picked productivity links!
