Views don't equal income (hard truth)
How I learned to make money the hard way.
Hey Content Rebels!
DON’T be like this guy👇️
I don’t have 4 million followers but I had millions of views without making decent money.
Let me take you back to mid-2023.
I was staring at my screen, watching my view count rise, but my bank account? Still disappointingly empty.
Everyone around me was obsessing over hitting viral numbers.
But here's what nobody told me: views alone won't pay your bills.
Hard lesson 😑
I learned this the hard way - reaching millions of views with trendy content, only to watch my audience disappear when those trends died.
Brands reached out to me but offered only small money. Peanuts.
The game-changer?
1/ I stopped chasing views and started creating content that actually meant something to people and started to increase my rates every single month.
2/ I created my branding (lights, subtitle style, anything…) for my content that made my content special.
3/ I started using automations on comment replies & DMs to reach more people & save time.
This shift changed everything. Brands started reaching out and I could charge more.
My course Content Rebel 101 started selling. Real opportunities started appearing.

That's why I'm launching Content Rebel Club on December 16th.
I want to show you how to build a sustainable content business that makes money WHETHER OR NOT you go viral and learn to use AI in all online work processes.
Because trust me - there's nothing worse than hitting a million views and not making at least $1,000!
