channel!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it didn&#8217;t come &#8220;easy&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Early on, like many of our online journeys, Chris was writing and sharing content into the void.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No

he&#8217;s built is really impressive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But now is the time to think about diversifying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If Twitter goes away, he gets banned etc. his entire business disappears over night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He should start a blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Write content, and get organic traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Build a course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sell his digital products himself, instead of giving
