Your First Step as a Car Creator (No Mods or a Fancy Car Needed)

I know a lot of you want to learn about monetization — brand deals, sponsors, affiliates and all the different ways to make money from car content — And we will get into that!

But here’s the thing: A lot of you have mentioned that you haven’t even started posting yet!

(If you’re already posting, amazing! Skip to the end because this is still for you )

I get it, you’re excited about that cash mula lol but to be honest, sharing those strategies right now would just confuse you further. What we need to focus on first is building our foundations.

The very first step is simple: just start creating! You don’t need mods, sponsors, or even your “dream” car to begin.

If you haven’t even started the page for it, do it now! (IG, TT, YouTube. Just one or all 3! You decide.) The profile pic and username can be changed later if that’s a hesitation point for you as well as I know it usually is for me when starting anything new.

🎥 Action Plan. (This is your homework) But it’s actually fun

What separates winners and losers in this space is this: those who take action and those who don’t. It’s that simple. So… let’s make this easy to win!

First, pick one idea from this list:

• A 15–30s POV driving clip with your phone

• A “day in the life” shot with your car (even if it’s stock)

• A short voiceover sharing why you bought your car or your dream build plans with slow panning shots of your car

• slow panning shots of your car with music (simple car edit)

• a video of your car with a trending quote over top (search the hashtag #carquote and pick one! )

**Editing software: To edit the video on your phone I use InShot. But you could use CapCut, or any app you choose. It’s up to you! I would recommend an app instead of doing it on the platform itself but try them out. Whatever you like best really.

Whatever you do, DON’T overcomplicate this! It could literally be anything just make a short form post.

2. Film it today or tomorrow — no pressure for it to be perfect.

3. Post it on TikTok, IG Reels, or YouTube Shorts. Just 1 or all 3!

4. Come back here and share your link or a quick screenshot so we can all check it out!

**When you post it, use the “Uploads” category on Skool so we can see them all in one spot**

FOR EXISTING CREATORS: Make a post and share it in here as well. We could all learn from each other here!

👉 Remember: The goal here isn’t to go viral, it’s to start posting. Once you get the first video out, it gets easier every time after that I promise.

💬 Who’s going to post their first clip this week? Lmk in the comments! Or drop any questions you may have!
