I Built My Creator Business Using Principles I Learned at Apple

Since 2016, I’ve spent a lot of time inside Apple’s four walls.

After generating $60M+ in SaaS business, a lot of it with their help, I’ve launched my own creator business.

Here are 6 ways I’ve built a 6-figure online business in 69 days by modeling Apple.

Growth is cool.

Profitability is sexy.

Have both, and you become a juggernaut.

Make sure your products are putting real cash in the bank.

Apple designs premium products.

People love using premium products.

People talk a lot about premium products.

People stand in long lines for premium products.

How much of your revenue comes from a single product?

Apple has done a stellar job of transforming to a services business.

They’ve created an ecosystem that is very sticky.

Allow your products to be gateways to recurring services.

What does your business stand for?

Apple drew a distinct line in the sand when it focused on consumer privacy.

It was good business.

Don’t just focus on features and functions.

Create a movement and watch sales soar.

When things get tough, how do you make the hard decisions?

Whenever big changes are necessary, they are always guided by values at Apple.

With a set of core values in place, you’ll be able to act with ease.

Most online entrepreneurs launch haphazardly.

Apple consistently releases new products every fall and spring.

This drives:

• Anticipation

• Consistent purchases

• Predictable content schedules

TL;DR: The 6 principles from Apple to guide your online business:

→ 1: Protect your margins

→ 2: Design premium products

→ 3: Diversify your product mix

→ 4: Have a distinct point of view

→ 5: Use values to guide your decisions
