What’s Next For Making of a Millionaire In 2021

What we have planned for readers next year

2020 has been an incredible year for this publication. We’ve gone from a small group of writers publishing occasional pieces to one of the largest publications in the personal finance space on Medium.

In the past 30 days Making of a Millionaire has had over 250,000 page views and nearly 6,000 unique visitors per day. I always knew this publication had that kind of potential, but I’m floored about how quickly it’s happened.

Thanks

So, first and foremost, I want to thank all of our readers for your support. This growth is literally impossible without thoughtful people reading and sharing our work.

Second, I want to thank everyone who has submitted a story for Making of a Millionaire in 2020.

There are literally too many writers to properly thank, but I do want to acknowledge a few writers who have written articles that went absolutely bonkers and have helped move the needle on the growth of this publication.

I will cut myself off here because, as I said, there are so many writers who have contributed to the success of this publication in 2020 that I can’t possibly name them all here, but know that you are appreciated!

Looking ahead to 2021

Let’s grow this thing

In 2021, I want to take Making of a Millionaire from a successful publication to one of the biggest publications on Medium in any genre.

That’s a big, ambitious, and frankly greedy goal.

But if the growth curve of 2021 looks like it did in 2020, I think we can do that. I don’t see any reason why we can’t push 2 million page views per month by the end of this year and have more than 50,000 people visit Making of a Millionaire every day.

The biggest constraint will be time. I literally have over 100 ideas for articles I want to write sitting in my drafts. I hope to hammer some of those out during the holidays, and you can expect some of my best writing coming this winter.

I am ready to f*cking bring it in 2021

If you haven’t already, I would recommend checking out my top 10 articles this year and expect a lot more articles like these in the future.

Expanding beyond written articles

I spent much of 2020 building the infrastructure to one day expand Making of a Millionaire from a blog to a digital media company focusing on personal finance and money.

Community

If you haven’t already, I encourage you to join the “Millionaires in the Making” private Facebook group here.

I know not everyone is on Facebook, so I am looking into independent platforms to host the community outside of Facebook, so stay tuned.

If you have not already, you may want to consider joining the 30-day money challenge. Each day you get a new task related to your finances. If you are feeling “stuck” with money, this is a good place to start getting unstuck.

Education

In 2020, I focused on creating a ton of educational content. These can be found generally on two platforms.

These are video-based courses that come with financial spreadsheets that crunch the numbers on various financial problems you might want solved, such as “exactly how much should I be paying against each of my loans every month?”

The financial mentor program

My top focus from a business perspective in 2021 will be on the recently launched “financial mentor program.”

When developing this, my thinking was how can I pack in as much value as humanly possible and give it to people at a price low enough that makes sense from a business perspective (after all, businesses do need to make money.)

That’s how the financial mentor program was born; here's how it works.

You sign up, pay $5 per month and get the following;

A new personal finance course every month.

Financial software to crunch the numbers for you.

Free E-books.

Early access to our best articles and videos.

Access to private webinars and live streams.

Also, one of my ambitious goals for 2020 will be to publish a book. If and when I do that, anyone enrolled in the financial mentor program will get a free copy.

Basically, being enrolled in the program means getting free access to any course, book, product or piece of content I create going forward.

YouTube

Every Wednesday, I publish a new video on YouTube, reviewing many of the topics I discuss in my writing.

Occasionally, my wife comes on, and we talk about how we tackle certain financial issues together.

I see YouTube as having a lot of potential to grow Making of a Millionaire in new and interesting directions.

Podcast?

This is something I have been toying with for a long time. If I am being honest, this feels like a 2022 goal.

Am I going to keep creating courses, publishing 3–4 articles a week, making a new YouTube video, writing a book, and launching a Podcast in 2021? Possibly, but I doubt it.

If you REALLY want a Making of a Millionaire Podcast, let me know in the comments!

Please be vocal

Making of a Millionaire will ultimately be shaped by our readers.

Are there particular topics you think I should be writing about?

Are there some areas where a course would be extra helpful?

Do you wish the “community” aspect was different?

If you ever have feedback or comments, or suggestions, you can send them to me at info@benlefort.com

Anyway, thanks to everyone for reading in 2020. I hope you enjoy some time to relax and reflect at the end of 2020, and I can’t wait to share our work with you in 2021.
