I talked on the call tonight about blocking out my time for more clarity in my day. Just got done blocking out tomorrows schedule so figured I would share You'll notice in the AM the first thing I do is scripting and as the day goes on it become a more like 'admin' work until the night when I move my creative brain to internally documenting. That is done on purpose because I have found I work the most creatively early in the AM and late at night The middle of the day is best suited for less intense tasks like scheduling, assigning videos to editors, and other repetitive things that do not take my creativity but instead just willpower to get through If I force myself to be creative at noon... it literally does not work. So I build my day around the info I have on myself

For those of you that joined and have no idea who tf I am, let me reintroduce myself. My name is Ryan Roehl. I'm 21, running what I call a "sports marketing agency" - just me and my Philippine editors. Some numbers to show I'm not full of shit: - Hit my first $10k month at 19, purely through sports content (events, brands, etc.) - Record month was last summer - $45k at about 50% margin - Total 2024: ~$200k in revenue as a college dropout Numbers sound cool, but it's not all sunshine and rainbows. This past fall I took a nice hit. Went down to damn near zero due to some bad business decisions. During that low period I learned something: if I want to build a real lasting business as a creative with a sports background, I can't just make "cool" content. I need to build ecosystems that drive actual results for clients. So I started exploring the stuff I'd been avoiding - paid ads, funnels, the full marketing picture beyond just videos. And it changed everything. Here's what I realized: My eye for creative vision can be applied to way more than just content. I can combine creative abilities with marketing principles and become a machine that turns eyeballs into actual dollars for clients. Tactically it looks like this: Organic content + paid ads + funnels = $$ But here's where it gets interesting. When you learn this stuff, you escape the trap of trading time for a set rate. Instead, you trade your time for unlimited upside. Right now you probably charge a couple hundred, maybe a couple thousand a month for a set number of videos. You film, you edit, you deliver. End of the line. Meanwhile I made almost $8k off one client in January. Here's the real breakdown: Client A - January - Base pay: $2,000/mo - Rev share: 15% of revenue I generate - Deliverables: 30 posts/month minimum - Total payout: $7,974 That rev share exists because I can prove my work makes them money. So I take a cut of what I generate. So here's what's happening next.

I’m debating if I should sell my macbook air M2 to make more out of video editing or should I Just thug it out ?

So much we could cover.

What's everyone been up to?
