Mastering Solo Content Creation, The Power of Showing Up Consistently

Episode 515

Consistency Beats Motivation Every Time

Since 2018, I’ve produced over 1,500 podcast episodes—and no, I’m not superhuman. I don’t have infinite motivation, a bottomless content calendar, or a secret team of ghostwriters whispering into a mic. What I do have is a deep commitment to consistency, a solid but straightforward system, and a solo content strategy that’s helped me not only keep going but actually enjoy the process. Even on the days when I didn’t want to hit “record.”

Small Efforts Add Up to Big Wins

From 2020 to 2023, I hosted The Potty Report, a five-minute daily podcast that grew to over 900 episodes. Some days, I didn’t feel like recording. At all. But I still did. Not because I was “on fire” creatively, but because I knew people were counting on me. Some listeners tuned in right at midnight. Others caught up every Friday. What mattered was that I showed up consistently, and that reliability built something way more powerful than one-off viral hits: trust.

Solo Isn’t Easier—It’s Braver

Let’s clear this up: solo content isn’t the “easy” way out. It’s the courageous way in. Because when it’s just you and the mic, you’ve got nowhere to hide. No guests to carry the conversation. No co-host to fill the awkward silences. You’ve got to show up fully—with your voice, your ideas, your value. Learning how to “interview yourself” is one of the best creator skills you can build. It’s uncomfortable at first, but it forces clarity. And clarity builds confidence.

Real Connection Comes from Real Moments

People don’t need to be perfect. They need real. I’ve worked with thousands of creators, and the ones who grow the strongest communities? They’re the ones who make their audience feel seen. Heard. Understood. Sometimes that comes through polished solo content creation, but often it doesn’t. It’s in the messy stuff, like when I recorded from my parents’ farm and the roosters crowed nonstop in the background. I thought it ruined the episode. My audience loved it. That’s when I realized: the flaws are the features.

My Most Popular Video on Solo Content Creation:

Start Small. Stay Steady. Grow Big.

You don’t need fancy equipment or a 6-month content calendar to get started. You need a few clear content pillars—your non-negotiables. For my team, that’s Tuesday podcast episodes, Thursday YouTube videos, and Friday newsletters. That’s our heartbeat. Everything else? It flexes. But those pillars keep us grounded and growing, week after week, year after year.

Build What People Can Count On

If you want to create something that truly lasts, it starts with showing up. Not once. Not just when it feels fun. But again and again—even when the roosters are loud and your energy is low. That’s why I created the Consistent Creators Club. It’s not just about churning out more content—it’s about building the mindset, systems, and confidence to create with intention. You’ll learn how to make solo content that connects, grows your audience, and actually feels good to make.

Consistent Creators Win—Because They Keep Going

Not because they’re the best speakers. Not because they have a team of ten. But because they choose to keep showing up. Even when it’s not perfect. Even when nobody’s clapping. Even when no one else is watching, yet, if that’s the kind of creator you want to be, you’re in the right place.
