  3 KEY POINTS:
  1. To become an entrepreneur, you have to identify a problem, seek a market and create transformative, value-loaded content. Begin with the basics - start small, expand when needed and create content consistently.
  2. Interviews are the easiest way to create content. They allow you to expand upon existing topics by being the broker of information and creating an expanding connection with other creators. 
  3. Always remember to monetize your content. Reach out to sponsors, look into affiliates and use the available online tools to expand your knowledge.
