I want to make this community as valuable and effective as possible. But for that, I need to hear from you not what you think you should want, but what you actually need right now. Take a minute and answer honestly: - What part of content creation are you currently struggling with the most? - What type of posts help you the most here? (breakdowns, challenges, mindset, technical, BTS) - What do you want to improve first in your content this year? - What would make this community a no-brainer for you to stay consistent and improve? No overthinking. No “perfect” answers. This isn’t a survey for ego it’s how I decide what to double down on and what to cut. I’m building this with you, not above you. Drop your thoughts below. I’ll read every single one and adjust accordingly.

One thing that makes this community powerful isn’t just the content it’s the people inside it. Everyone here is at a different stage: some just started, some are posting consistently, some are already getting views, clients, or momentum. And that means there’s a lot of experience in this room that shouldn’t stay silent. So let’s do something simple but powerful 👇 Share ONE thing you’ve learned recently about content creation that actually helped you. It can be anything: - something that improved your hooks - a filming or lighting trick - an editing shortcut - a mindset shift - a mistake you stopped making - something that saved you time - something that helped your videos perform better No need to overthink it. One honest insight. 📌 The goal here isn’t to impress it’s to help each other move faster by learning from real experience. Read the comments. Reply to someone.
