📣The Secret to Content Creation Success? Ask Amanda Sharp.

Five years.

That’s how long it took my friend and PMC co-host Amanda Sharp to reach TikTok’s monetization threshold.

Not five months.
Not five viral videos.
Five years of consistent effort, trial and error, and showing up—even when it felt like no one was watching.

Last week, she finally hit the milestone. And the biggest lesson from her journey?

Endurance beats virality every time.

A lot of people chase quick wins. Virality. Shortcuts. Overnight success.

But Amanda’s story is proof that real success isn’t about a single big break.
It’s about showing up, over and over again, until the momentum catches up.

As Amanda put it…

“Anything in social media and podcasting is really all about endurance. Those quick dopamine hits of success are great, but they won’t get you to the finish line.”

She’s right.

We see this play out in pretty much every area of our lives.:

✅ Business Growth isn’t about one big launch—it’s about steady value creation.
✅ Career Success isn’t about one lucky break—it’s about years of honing your craft.
✅ Relationships (personal and professional) aren’t built overnight—they take consistent effort.

But here’s the catch…

Most people quit before they see results.

They get discouraged when they don’t go viral in the first six months. They stop posting when engagement drops. They abandon their projects when progress slows.

Amanda could have done that too.

Instead, she kept showing up. Kept creating. Kept refining. Kept pushing forward.

And now? She’s seeing the payoff.

Is she retiring tomorrow? No. But she crossed a major milestone that puts her in a position to reap the rewards of her years of effort.

So here’s the question: What’s something you’ve worked at consistently over time?

How did it pay off in the long run?

I’d love to hear your story. Hit “Reply” and let me know.

Keep going. The results are coming.

P.S. If you enjoyed this, forward it to someone who needs a reminder that success isn’t about a single moment—it’s about showing up consistently.

🚀 Have You Heard of ChatGPT’s New Operator Feature Yet? 🤖

What’s the coolest thing you’ve used it for (or would love to try)?

I put it to the test on my website’s backend, and WOW—mind blown! 🤯

If you’ve ever dreaded the tedious process of organizing your podcast episodes on Podpage, let me introduce you to ChatGPT’s Operator feature—a total game-changer. I had over 240 episodes sitting uncategorized, making it nearly impossible for new listeners to find the content that mattered most to them. Enter ChatGPT Operator, and suddenly, I was watching automation magic happen in real-time.

It was like having a real human on the other end, clicking through my website, sorting each episode into its proper category, and making my site instantly more user-friendly. 🎯

🔹 What exactly did it do?
✔ Sorted 240+ podcast episodes by topic
✔ Identified news-related content accurately
✔ Allowed real-time adjustments to categorization
✔ Saved me HOURS of manual work

I was skeptical at first. Could it really navigate my site like a human? It sure did. I watched as the AI moved the mouse, clicked buttons, and even asked for my permission before taking certain actions. (Pro tip: You can tell it to stop asking for permission and just go!)

Why This Matters for Podcasters 🎙️

If you have a growing podcast with dozens or even hundreds of episodes, making them easily searchable is key to keeping your audience engaged. Instead of scrolling endlessly through a long list of episodes, your listeners can now instantly filter by topics like monetization, audience growth, or social media strategies.

💡 Imagine the possibilities beyond podcasting—what’s one annoying repetitive task you’d love to automate? Reply and let me know!

✊🏾Honoring Black Excellence in Podcasting

As we celebrate Black History Month, it’s essential to recognize the platforms amplifying voices that bridge cultures and foster understanding. This week, we’re spotlighting a compelling discussion titled “The Role of Diaspora Podcasters in Shaping the Narrative Around Africa and Its Diaspora.” This discussion was held on Africa Podcast Day, February 12, a day to celebrate the podcasting industry in Africa and to support African podcasters who have migrated around the globe (diaspora).

In this conversation, podcasters dive into their significant contributions to the global narrative about Africa and its people. By sharing diverse stories and perspectives, they facilitate meaningful connections between the continent and its diaspora, challenging stereotypes and enriching the cultural discourse.

What makes this discussion stand out is its emphasis on the power of storytelling in reshaping perceptions. The podcasters highlight how their platforms serve as bridges, connecting communities and fostering a deeper understanding of African identities and experiences.

If you’re interested in exploring how modern media is redefining African narratives and connecting communities worldwide, this conversation is a must-watch.
