"Give value, never sell" is how broke creators stay broke.

Unpopular opinion: the 80/20 value rule trained a generation to be afraid of the ask. Your audience can't read your mind — if you never say "buy this," they assume nothing's for sale. The ones who post a clean CTA weekly outearn the "value" martyrs ten to one.

Value without an ask is a hobby. Fight me.
