Hey friends, wanted to write a bit of an update / lesson post. I started a Google Business Page for my revived PALASSIS Media brand. If you have a business and DON'T have a Google Business page then... wtf are you doing? 😂 → Check mine out here (and if you're a LEGEND, drop me a 5-star review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️) I started this business back in 2018 to make more money and be "financially free" haha. I was growing people's Instagram accounts and TRYING to get Facebook ad clients (not that I knew what the hell I was doing). Little did I know HOW HARD THIS F**KING JOURNEY WOULD BE and how many turns it would take! 😂 But so so worth it, guys. Now, 8 years later, I've re-ignited the brand FULL FORCE and started building people's brands, coaching and creating epic partnerships and podcasts. Only up from here, my friends, and I'm glad you're with me for the ride. 😎 👉 So tell me in the comments... do you have your Google Business Page yet? 👇

David Babcock joined me to break down how attention actually turns into revenue… not just views, not just clicks, but real business. He started as a Will Ferrell impersonator. Then turned it into a strategic advantage that’s generated millions for brands like Google, Warner Bros, Nissan, Chevron, Cisco, and T-Mobile. What looks like entertainment on the surface… is actually precision marketing underneath.

Life has been busy and I took a short break from social media, but I’m getting back into it with some new ideas. I’m a mechanic content creator on YouTube and I’m trying to move away from mostly AI voiceover shorts into more long-form “authority” style content explaining how things work (engines, AWD systems, maintenance, etc). I just bought a new car so some content will be around that specific niche too. The biggest challenge I run into is the editing and visuals. Writing the script and explaining concepts is the easy part for me, but finding B-roll, animations, or clips to match everything I’m talking about can get tedious compared to just editing a short. For those of you who edit long-form content: How do you approach visuals for educational videos when you don’t have footage for everything? I don't always have time (or money) to buy things or do things on the cars to film myself. I typically do the script first and build the visuals around it, but making the information the focus instead of crazy editing. Do you mostly: - Pull B-roll from YouTube and transform it (this is what I usually do) - Use stock footage libraries - Create diagrams / motion graphics - Or build a reusable B-roll library? My upcoming content idea is buying an action camera and mic to just do POV drives to talk about anything while driving. Would love to hear how you guys approach this.

I worked with a wonderful designer, Merzena Flores that I met on X. To show you guys the power of a brand... I literally posted a competition to my X.com profile and Merzena replied right away, came up with some drafts for me for FREE and showed me her style. I selected her as the winner and then paid her after already getting proof of concept cause I have enough of a presence (as small as it might be on X) to command attention + people flooding my inbox trying to give me FREE designs. That's powerful. Congrats to Merzena, and I want to hear your thoughts on the new aesthetic and logo! 👇 P.S. if anyone wants her contact, let me know - she's wonderful to work with. ✅
