Thomas Frank - How I Make Six Figures per Month as a Creator

Today I’m talking with Thomas Frank. Thomas built a KZbin channel called College Info Geek to over a million subscribers. Since then, he’s rebranded and grown the channel to nearly 3 million subscribers. He’s also built a massive business around courses and Notion templates.
In this episode we talk about making a pivot as a creator. Thomas has an interesting and understated approach that’s worked quite well. We also talk about the Notion templates he’s selling, the KZbin productivity channel he started strictly about Notion, and how it’s driving hundreds of thousands of dollars in sales per month.
Thomas also explains why it’s easier getting started on KZbin today than it was 10 years ago, and I get Thomas’ candid thoughts on how Gumroad’s new pricing has affected his business and creators in general.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
• Why now is a great time to get started on KZbin
• How to pull off a successful rebrand of your creator business
• Why your subscriber count isn’t as important as you think
• Was Gumroad’s price increase a mistake?

An amazing interview. Rewound video half a dozen times to jot down some truly actionable tactics. It would be so cool to have either of you as a mentor.

Very insightful comment about when you do AND do not want an algorithm's help for growing your business!

I'm not affiliated with Google, but wanted to mention that the Google Assistant is sending things like "you haven't opened emails from (sender) recently. Would you like to unsubscribe?" Then it has an unsubscribe button. I haven't clicked it yet, but will do it next time just to see what automatic action it takes. Like you both said, this could be very helpful, and Google is already positioned to make the client smarter, which should alleviate the burden on our inboxes. Maybe others are doing it too. I don't know.

I didn't know Thomas before this, but I appreciate this conversation with him. I aspire to be good at Notion, but I'm absolute crap with keeping up with my productivity apps. I'm productive... just not on the apps. Good conversation none the less.
