Well said 🎉

Ive come to realize is that connecting with people is very important

[@infinisourced]

Fantastic idea.

Proof of the creator economy: I’m a drummer and I make drum loops for music producers for a living. A drum loop I recorded in my own studio is literally in the music for this video 🥁🤘

[@AB-1023]

Cool where can I listen to more of your beats? I wanna do something similar

[@sosinati3358]

Amazing man.. 😎🤙

[@juliekmunden]

As a former news anchor, journalist, content creator and teacher; I love this!

[@thefutur]

Thank you 🙏

[@ivievg]

I had been stuck at 457 subscribers for months, struggling to identify the right niche for my channel. However, after watching your video and implementing the suggestions, I gained 14 subscribers within a week. It's incredible! While it might not seem like a large number, it demonstrates that your guidance truly works. Thank you so much for your valuable insights! GOAT

Congradulations!

[@Vant42]

Youngest in a family of 5 siblings divorced parents and moved all my life. Havnt connected with many people due to all these factors nor been really import to anyone but my immediate family I created. Stuck being yelled at at a low paying 50k graphic designer role and over worked. Wondering if theres a way out for me. I'm understanding everyone has a voice and if you don't jump out there in the spotlight you literally don't exsist and you will cease to exist in a cubicle of a low paying high demand role and build and own nothing. I have to join and be present in social media and find what I have to offer. Thanks for the encouragement Guys it's life changing for some of us. 👊🏾

[@thefutur]

Hang in there.

[@TheArchimedesEffect]

I hear you, it's tough out there for a lot of us. Try telling your story more on social media, building up a community of your own may be the way for you to have an exit strategy and eventually replace your income, or at least give you some options.

[@Practical-IT]

Thumbnails! With your graphic design skills,you could easily offer reviews of thumbnails and coaching for those creators (like me) who are techies, but "artistically challenged " Targeting those tech channels that up and coming would be a potential starting place. My thumbs have got better, and I'm excited about the new test and compare feature, but I've yet to find videos that spell out things like color theory air the artistically challenged. Just a thought. Good luck.

[@masterloot]

@@thefutur But somone somewhere at the end of the rope still has to do a job for all this chain of attentoin to be worthwhile. Nobody is watching this because the world has run out of fun things to do. everyone is watching to gain by standing on others. but there is that one layer of people that still have to do a paying job working for some ungrateful narcissistic a-hole.

[@CaliKrazyTV]

My suggestion would be to get a gym membership and green juice bc what you consume controls your thoughts. Next make business cards and network- meetups convention create a bank account just for that freelance $$$. Do not touch it build it up then invest in personal development and stocks etc. When you have enough $$$ and momentum Leave and seek a the futur Always have a exit plan or they will X you 💪💪

[@rasalresid9147]

Amazing video with valuable tips and insights on how to succeed as a content creator and make a sustainable income. You never disappoint with your content, and I can't wait to apply these strategies (and a bit of Famester) to see growth on my channel. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!!

[@FilmAshton]

It seems that it’s still more important to make quality content than quantity content. It comes back to the idea of not wasting your audience’s time, but rather giving value. Great topic, Chris!

[@MrJazzPurr27]

Only as a man you have to bring value for fans to turn in. Women you do not

[@robin_designs]

This channel is allways providing value for up-and -coming designers/content creators like me. Thank you.

Our pleasure!

[@firelight5400]

My wife launched her art business today. Video's like this really help to keep us thinking of interesting ways people are building their businesses. Most of this we haven't even begun to think about because the business is so small but it helps keep us excited through the grind.

[@diehardanglers]

This is what the average person trying to learn "what's missing" NEEDS to hear. Thank you for this value!

[@neacsurob]

something i struggle is to find my uniqueness, the ”real me”. But yes, more content like this is very valuable.

[@SimpleUnboxing-1]

That is deep...

[@hayley_bailiff]

As someone who recently started posting real estate content I am particularly grateful for this video!

What were the three last things Chris said? 1. Do the work. 2. Trust the process. 3. Stay (something a little mumbled) results? Help? 😅

MORE VIDEOS ON THIS TOPIC PLEASE! Personally this is my favourite video for 2024....so well done. The take-home points are so solid and salient. 💯💯💯💯

[@thefutur]

Thank you! Will do!

[@leadgenjay]

Solid breakdown of monetization strategies

[@shawwoodworkingdiy]

i know most of us creators are busy thinking, "yeah, but my content is different, i dont know how to add fun and fantasy to woodworking content".... i will definitely be experimenting more, till i find my pot of gold. thank you for sharing this with us

ASMR craft videos are popular when done well. the before and after transformation is great to witness.

Thank you so much for the video, Chris. Looking up for the rest!

[@TheArtOfJerry]

It's wonderful and life changing 😊 being a creator. ❤❤❤ Fairly addictive. Once 😊 you start creating, you wouldn't stop. You will not quit. Like you have this gods of content creation. I have not earned any money yet, I'm still creating.

[@AEGISAOE]

7:45 i started making content bcz i had no money left and i needed to make some quick. i didnt made much, but i now make content bcz it is relaxing me, is like a therapy. i feel something like how people feel when they watch movies or watch some sport game

[@terrygarcia8826]

From beginning to end, this video is pure VALUE for any aspiring creator. I'm taking notes and actively working to internalize this wisdom and put it into action. Thank you guys for sharing, caring, and inspiring

[@ChrisFranklinJr]

As someone who is just now making that mental shift, this is excellent content! Absolutely loved this. Recently started my own coaching platforms from your advice, Chris. It’s been an incredible experience so far. Slowly getting away from just being the guy behind the camera. 🎉🙌🏾

[@BushveldBoet]

Dude, I have been watching KZbin videos with the intention of starting out for 10 years at least. I have finally started my channel and intend on going all the way...finding my flow.. continuing to refine my methods and just growing day after day. Being from South Africa and in the wildlife/hunting scene I believe it is a great niche to get into. Watch this space 😊 You are inspiring!

[@angrazero8296]

Such profound advice! I love it! I'm re-watching, memorizing, burning it in my brain!

[@drewkantos]

@20:46 - Love this from a professional in Sonic Branding and Sound for TV

[@TheArchimedesEffect]

Good advice on becoming the host, not just the "camera man". I had a hunch that this was the route for me a while back and have been playing with that for a bit. Regarding the membership and exclusive content, sounds like a fair trade to me. You need to keep the business sustainable. Cheers

[@evilrose412]

Chris, you are an amazing teacher, that inspire everyone, no matter their life path or age. I think I told you that one day on Linked In as well. Even tho I'm in a completely different business, I always love to come back and listen to whatever you have to say. Keep it up!

[@GhettoMotherTeresa]

This guy has great advice! Subscribed!

[@Bdubya38]

Thanks for the deep insights. This is the kick in the pants I needed to not worry what I look like or sound like and just put myself out there beyond my artwork.

[@alina-xc1jd]

Remember the 3 F’s: Fun, Facts, Feelings when creating unique content to connect with your audience. 💯 Also Chris describing a realtor on a show: “she’s a good looking woman, a good proportion woman”. 🤣

[@ThrowBackZone]

I've been creating content for a while, but I never thought about the 'fun and feelings' aspect. Going to try that in my next video.

[@tayosarts]

Jumping on the pro group next month! Chris you have made my transition from in-house creative to business owner and your advice is too valuable to miss out on. Now that I’ve finally hit the milestone of 150k+ I need the inside track to take the business further. See you in the pro group soon.

[@dg-space]

Big thanks to my Zen Master Chris Do for discussing architecture-it’s my first time hearing him talk about it, and I really appreciate it. The tips you gave about the three Fs are very important, and I plan to incorporate them into our new branding reels for our architectural studio. I would love to see more videos from you about creative opportunities for architects like me, with 20 years of experience working globally and a passion for teaching young kids about architecture and the business side of it. I closely follow your videos on pricing, creativity, and negotiating with clients, and I see a huge potential for creating content about the business of architecture.

[@thebackwardsmarketer]

Love this video Chris! Thank you for the content. I’m new to content creation and needed to hear this! 🙏

I really want to learn from the start, until I succeed in earning an income. Greetings from Indonesia 🇮🇩

[@Ascenzive]

Amazing as usual. People often feel that creating video content is difficult and scary. But It doesn't have to be this way. In order for your brand to stand out you need to add all the layers explained in the video. If you follow a structure/roadmap, from scripting, producing decent video quality, but with imperial sound quality (you don't want your audience to skip your content because they need to burn too many calories to understand you), show personality and the transformation, your brand will skyrocket, no doubt!

[@bilquisali]

Thank you for the feedback

[@samheedy]

I remember watching Chris back in 2018 in my parent’s house. The one video that really changed my perspective on sales was the one with Mo, that was where the money blueprint clicked. I learned how to see things differently when it comes to pricing creative services. Bought multiple courses since then from the futur because his knowledge on branding is unparalleled. Thank you so much for being an inspiration to many out there who otherwise wouldn’t have the resources back then

Man, I used to watch your UX videos with Jose many many many years ago. They actually really helped me progress in my career! When you switched more to design I kinda stopped watching as that wasn't really my Jam (I guess I mostly watched because of Jose's UX). Came across this video and couldn't help but notice how you've transformed so much in that time (in a good way). Feels a lot more genuine and authentic and I really enjoyed this vid. I know you probably won't read this Chris, and I doubt it matters, but kudos anyway!

Good Content as always. Two things - it makes sense to move some content over for premium members after it is initially free to all. Smart. It’s like intro pricing on video consumption. Also I was thinking as u were talking earlier that Another example of color commentary that just works is snoop dogg giving color commentary on animal videos and sports.

[@mikhilsaluja7062]

Soon, the number of content creators will surpass that of listeners. Authenticity may become scarce as many will present contrived setups filled with layers of pseudo-wisdom, quotes, and excerpts from various intellectuals, creating a cycle of repetition. Everyone is a leader, public speaker, expert, top voice, can help you achieve x to 10x, a guru, educator etc.

[@thefutur]

we have a long way to go before the number of creators exceed the number of listeners. case in point. Less than 1% of people who are on Linkedin post a single piece of content.

[@mikhilsaluja7062]

@@thefutur Thanks for your reply! I appreciate it. My point is that authentic, experienced professionals give valuable advice, but now everyone is an "entrepreneur" or rather "solopreneur" claiming to be an expert from their 5 start ups. A lot of LinkedIn content creators just tweak the same ideas and rephrase it. I think credibility from real-life achievements is crucial before claiming expertise. For example, Chris's work with experience of consulting with big brands adds weight to his advice. But in general, others still have a lot of repetitive content out there. And it's worrying when people in their 20s or early 30s start calling themselves experts and educators. There used to be a reason why becoming a teacher was tough, even at a mediocre university. Guessing there is a reason why there is a rise of "self-help," "self-care," and "grow X million followers in Y days" books, people and topics. Cause maybe people today are more vulnerable, often dealing with low self-esteem, increased stress, and anxiety. The ease of becoming an entrepreneur adds to this pressure. There's a strong desire for personal growth and improvement, making us more impressionable and eager for quick fixes.

Very interesting perspective on commentary in sporting events. I actually prefer no commentary, and will often times mute the volume on the TV when announcers start to get on my nerves.

[@thefutur]

Wow. Which commentators annoy you?

[@GregStenson]

@@thefutur I'd say it's the color commentary and guest commentators that ruin it for me the most. On the flipside, it's the commentators that really understand the game or sport and can give technical analysis as it happens that I do love.

[@GregStenson]

​@@thefutur And, I'm not trying to be contrarian. I love amazing sound engineering and design in music and movies. I'll never forget the sound in the movie ‘Interstellar;’ I left the theater feeling like I just did a workout because my muscles were sore from being tensed up and clenching the armrests. It was epic! And, on the flipside, there's a move called ‘Zone of Interest’ where they focused on using everyday sounds, room echoes, and silence instead of the warmer sound techniques you see in most movies. It drove the point of the movie home in a much more chilling way. But alas, in the end, these moveis the got the effect they wanted by using sound, regardless of how processed it was or wasn't. I'll step off my soapbox now 🤣
