🤩 Want to launch something before Black Friday/Cyber Monday (the biggest sales weekend of the year?) 😍 Want to get out of your own way and take imperfect action with us? 😄 Want Mariah to promote your new free group or paid offer link to our audience, meaning more visibility for your biz before the end of the year? A couple weeks ago, I had an idea (love it when that happens) What if instead of motivating people to take action with run of the mill bonuses or “rah rah” cheerleading, we did something REALLY valuable for our Monetize members that would actually boost their business? What if we really inspired people to take imperfect action NOW, together, and be rewarded for that? The idea for our upcoming Skool Sprint was born (and ALL Monetize members are welcome to participate!) 💭 I thought, “what if we all worked together on launching either a free group, paid subscription or paid digital product before Black Friday - and then *I* can actually promote and share all those awesome groups and offers with *my* audience??” So that’s what we’re doing! So, do you want me to promote your free group or paid offer to my audience? Here’s how it’s going to work: ✅ You join Monetize, where you will create + prepare to launch either a free group or paid offer (subscription or one-time purchase digital product) in about 3 weeks, using our step-by-step tools, templates, checklists, and trainings that make it as simple as humanly possible ✅ You will submit a link to your offer/group to be included in a blog post that will be promoted to our audience (there’s a deadline to submit your link by). We welcome both B2C and B2B products! ✅ I will promote that post to my email list, on social media, and in the Creator Party community (tens of thousands of people combined, to an audience with a huge variety of interests!) All of this is happening before Black Friday, so you’ll have something super high value to offer for the biggest business weekend of the year!

tldr; I want to pursue building 2 brands by publishing 180 YouTube videos in the next 90 days (1 daily video for each). Strategically speaking, is this worth my effort? My long term goal: Build a personal brand to 5M+ subs. Short term goal: Get to $10k/mo PROFIT (which is $25k/mo revenue) My current brands / businesses - Clever Programmer (CP) - Help people become software developers. 1m+ youtube subs & 70k+ email list - My personal brand Rafeh Qazi (RQ) - Help creators make money with YouTube. (5k YouTube subs) Clever Programmer - Can make $300k+/year with course sales, coaching, and sponsorships with not an insane amount of effort (used to make 7-figures per year but I ran into crazy legal / compliance issues so decided to stop my $15k high ticket program) Rafeh Qazi (personal brand) - I sold consulting for $5k/mo and DFY content for $10k/mo - I retained clients on average for 6+ months (Average LTV around $30,000 or more per client) - Clients get insane results (multiple clients broke 100k+ subs on YouTube and make 7-figures per year) - After I closed 1 client for $60,000. All 4 other clients came through a referral from him. First time in my life where I go grew my biz through referrals - RQ has done $200,000 cash collected this year (with almost no real marketing) - CON: It's currently at only 5k subs and doesn't have an audience or predictable lead gen. The problem with pursuing it right now is that it seems high risk in terms of I don't currently have an audience and don't know how long it will take to build a solid audience. So I'm scared if I go ALL in... If it DOESN'T work I'll have lost 3 months of making cash + no new source of income. Current Situation: All of my clients from RQ are done now and since I wasn't doing anything at all with Clever Programmer (cause I didn't really enjoy it anymore. Legal headaches, uneducated market/customers, etc)... My revenue dropped to $0. I have a 12 month cash runway but no guaranteed revenue coming in.

I am FINALLY "cleaning up" my list by removing cold subscribers who don't raise their hand to stay on our list. Over the next week or so, I am sending 3 emails to a huge segment of subscribers who haven't opened our emails in a while. Giving them one last chance to let us know they'd like to stay on our newsletter... Then we're removing them! I always thought this process would be super scary. I avoided it for so long (literally this has been on my list for years, and has been at the top of my list for 9 months while I diligently ignored it and bumped it to next month 10 times). But now that I'm doing it, it's really not that bad! I wrote the 3 emails. Created a "link trigger" in Convertkit for people who want to stay on to click. And I sent the first one out this morning. Would it be helpful to you all to see the emails I sent after I'm done with this process? Personally I found that every example email copy and template I found online wasn't that great and sounded really formal/awkward, so I wrote my own to match our brand voice. Happy to share them as I'm sending these over the next week if it's helpful as an example!

I have a unique weekly planning and "to-do" system I've been using every single week since March (which is a big deal because I usually can't stick to ANYTHING). It's all built in Google Docs, super simple to use. We don't use asana/trello/clickup/etc. I want to record a video walkthrough and podcast for you about it next week, and want to make sure I answer all of your questions! Ask me anything about - 3 day workweek - how I structure my days and tasks - how I balance getting things done with my ebbs/flows of energy - my ideal schedule - what I do on a regular basis - whatever else you wanna know! Excited to share more, I know this has been a recurring question for a while!
