My priorities have shifted. Here is the gist. If you make content you "might" make money If you solve problems with Ai you "will" make money Starting tonight every night at 6pm I will be hosting an Ai think tank. There will be homework every night. Homework 1 is down below. These are the two SKOOL groups I joined. Feel free to join them as well. $97/mo VIbe Coding Academy Save with this link $147/mo Maker Skool Save with this link Access the document here How the call went: Rating: 8.7 / 10 You successfully shifted the group’s belief from content → problems and created strong buy-in with real proof and energy. The only limitation was lack of structure and constraints, which could lead to confusion and weaker ideas going into Day 2. Summary of Call Day #: 1 Theme: Content → Problem Solving with AI Key Lesson: Money comes from solving real problems, not posting content. AI is the tool, not the business. Wins: High engagement, real problems identified (gym/workplace), strong buy-in on daily calls + “sell first” concept Mistakes: Vague problems, not tied to money, overthinking, jumping to build too early Tomorrow’s Focus: Define good vs bad problems, pick ONE idea, map first $100 Homework: Rant → extract 10 problems → pick top 3 → generate 2 ideas Bring: Rant + 3 problems + 2 ideas Rule: If no one pays, it’s not a business Reminder: You don’t need followers—you need better problems Time to nut up or shut up!

This week we got into a Q&A on MONETIZATION + BRAND DEALS! Aka all the behind-the-scenes stuff that actually makes you money. Big reality check: being good at content ≠ being good at monetization. Getting paid is a whole separate skill. You need to know how to negotiate, spot red flags (hi “use in perpetuity” 🚩), and actually value your time. We also walked through real examples from everyone — offers, negotiations, content strategies, and what I would do in each situation — so you can see how this actually plays out IRL. We talked a lot about how engagement > follower count. There are creators with smaller audiences making way more money simply because their audience is locked in. Brands care about results, not vanity metrics. We also got into how to actually get deals coming in. You don’t have to just sit around and wait — tagging brands, getting on PR lists, and showing love to brands you already use can turn into paid opportunities later. Think pipeline, not instant gratification. On the money side, I gave y’all the golden rules: - Ask for their budget first (always!!) - Charge for usage rights if they want to reuse your content - Don’t count free product as payment unless you’d genuinely buy it yourself - And please for the love of god do not accept 30 deliverables for $450 😭 Overall vibe: you are a business, not just a creator. Start moving like it. Call Recording: HERE
