🚀 Why This Newsletter Puts You First. Find Out Now! 🌍

Let’s pause for a moment and have a heart-to-heart…

When I launched Be Intentional and Purposeful Today, I didn’t just want to fill your inbox with another newsletter.

It was the birth of a mission, a purposeful movement designed to ignite something powerful within you.

A movement anchored in hope, transformation and economic freedom, especially for the youth navigating the tides of today’s digital economy.

This newsletter isn’t just something you read.

It’s a revolution, a quiet, consistent, soul-stirring revolution that starts in you… and radiates out to your family, your community and ultimately, our continent.

The Bigger Vision — Why This Newsletter Exists

Let me be crystal clear:

My ultimate goal is to help raise and nurture a new kind of youth that is,

✔️ Bold.

✔️ Equipped.

✔️ Digital-savvy.

✔️ Purpose-driven.

✔️ Economically empowered.

Youth who don’t just wait for jobs, but create solutions.

Youth who don’t just hustle for survival, but build with strategy.

Youth who aren’t stuck in the margins of the economy, but leading the charge in the digital age.

Each edition I send is not just information, it’s fuel for your journey.

It’s a guide, a resource, a toolkit to help you plug into this new economy with confidence and clarity.

What Success Looks Like — My Vision for YOU

I will only consider this newsletter successful when your life begins to reflect these shifts:

✅ You’re gaining digital knowledge and relevant skills.

✅ You’ve started creating your own products or services — no matter how small the start.

✅ You’ve tapped into online platforms and are generating income from what you offer.

✅ You’ve found your space in the digital economy, freelancing, consulting, investing, content creation or building a business.

✅ You’re spending quality time with your loved ones, living a healthier lifestyle and contributing meaningfully to your community.

✅ You’re walking in purpose, peace and prosperity, not just existing but thriving.

This is my deepest desire for you.

This is why I do what I do.

This is the heartbeat behind every word I write and every opportunity I share.

You’re Not Alone — I’m With You All The Way

Hear me clearly: This is about YOU. Always.

Every article, every story, every digital skill, every opportunity I send your way is driven by one truth, I believe in your potential.

I believe you were made for more. I believe greatness lives in you.

And I’m walking this journey right beside you, not just as a publisher, but as your coach, cheerleader, and comrade in this new era of digital empowerment.

Stay Plugged In — Your Future Is Digital

So, I encourage you — don’t just read.

Engage. Act. Grow.

Let’s build a generation that doesn’t wait for doors to open but builds doors, walks through them and then creates doors for others.

Let’s produce youth who are creators, leaders, innovators, and digital income earners who are intentional and purposeful in every step they take.

Because your future… your freedom… your prosperity… it’s all possible in the digital economy.

And I’m here to help you make it real.

 Today is the day to be intentional about your future.

   4 tips for selling and scaling in a niche market

   

   Let’s be real—most fur parents don’t wake up thinking, I need to buy my dog a reversible raincoat today.  But Lucy & Co. changed that. If they can turn dog apparel into a global fashion trend, your brand can scale, too. 

   Here’s how to replicate their strategy:

   Turn customers into your best marketers. Encourage customers to share photos and videos of your product in action. Authentic content builds trust and drives conversions.

   • Example: Lucy & Co.’s UGC program drove a 5x ROI in 30 days.

   • Tip: Make it rewarding for customers to share their experiences.

   Leverage Amazon’s Small Business Empowerment boost. The program can put your brand in front of the right customers. More visibility = more sales.

   • Example: Lucy & Co. tapped into these programs to expand their global reach.

   • Tip: Apply for programs and promotions designed for small businesses.

   Run a cross-channel sales machine. Social media creates demand—Amazon converts it. Use organic content to build hype, then drive traffic to your Amazon listings with ads.

   • Example: Lucy & Co.’s cross-channel strategy turned discovery into global sales.

   • Tip: Create campaigns that move customers from discovery to purchase quickly.

   Make products that solve AND sell. A great product isn’t just stylish—it solves a real problem. Functionality + good design = repeat customers.

   • Example: Lucy & Co.’s reversible, waterproof gear solves pain points while offering unique designs.

   • Tip: Find the unique angle that makes your product a “must-have.”

   With the right mix of community, smart marketing, and Amazon’s growth tools, your brand can scale just like they did. So the question isn’t if you can do it—it’s when you’ll start.

10. INSPIRATION FROM INDIA

    India’s YouTube obsession is turning rural villages into creator hotspots

    

    The “YouTuber village”: A small village in the Indian state of Chhjattisgarh has become its nation’s answer to Greenville, North Carolina. Though Tulsi was once nothing more than a small dot on the map, approximately one-fourth of its population now makes videos for platforms like YouTube.

    As this video from Lokmat Times explains, Tulsi’s creator community began with the launch of Being Chhattisgarhiya, a YouTube channel co-founded by Jai Varma and Gyanendra Shukla. After reaching a six-digit subscriber count, Varma and Shukla began earning more than 30,000 rupees per month. That converts to around $344 per month and is well above the states reported median income of 17,500 rupees per month (or about $201). Their success inspired other Tulsi residents to pick up cameras. According to one estimate, there are now more than 1,000 active creators among the village’s total population of 4,000.

    The context: Tulsi’s transformation into a “YouTuber village” is part of a broader trend that has seen creator content explode in India’s non-English-speaking communities. Altogether, channels that use regional South Asian languages have hauled in billions of views by connecting with hard-to-reach consumers in rural areas. It’s a phenomenon that we see play out in the data on our Tubefilter Charts all the time.
