Hey friends. This group is a work in progress. It's primary purpose (for now) is to simply network with other creators, inspire each other, make friends, find accountability partners, & learn cool content secrets. Social media can be a lonely journey. Use the tabs above to introduce yourself, & or let people know where you are in the world :) It also offers a free guide in the classroom showing an overview on the tools & systems I use to maximize my results on social media with minimal views. In any case, here is my intro: The success stories are everywhere. Young guys driving Lambos on TikTok. Social media gurus who film themselves making a sandwich and get 10 million views. For some of us, however, it doesn't come easy. I've been internet marketing since 2011. Like many of you, all I ever wanted was to be "free". To "live life on my own terms". The only problem... Well, I was not very good at it. I was living in Las Vegas at the time and was making no money online, so I found a job on Craigslist doing phone sales. It was miserable, but I earned just enough to survive. Turns out, the company I worked for was run by a group of folks with... Shall we say "questionable business practices". When I started to notice the red flags, I considered quitting, buuuut I didn't. I was finally starting to get good at sales. That was a big mistake. As I turned a blind eye, I also became complicit. The FBI raided that company in 2013, but they weren't after me. Afterall, I was just an employee. Right...? I walked out of there, and decided I would never again work for a place like that. I moved back to Reno and decided it was time to go all in on myself. I had my first success online in 2014 when I started an ecommerce business in the action sports niche. I used Instagram automation to drive sales. From there, I developed other businesses too. It was going well. I focused on social media, paid ads, automation, messenger bots, optimizing my sales funnels, and much more. I got good at it.

I was involuntarily retired a few months ago from a cushy IT job. Always intended to start a side hustle, making $$ Online. Never got around to it. No excuses now. Also No money.... Time to Take ACTION so I never have to go back to a 9-5 job Howdy from Naperville IL - a suburb of Chicago

I’m Cathy, I’ve had a long road to get here. I’m a 9-5er and a single mom. I raised a special needs child to adulthood without much help. I still take care of him and it is very challenging. I also work full time. I have a few short form channels I’m experimenting with and one long form channel. Content creation has become my outlet! I love doing it and am having fun doing it and yes it’s a lot of work. My passion is filmmaking so I hope to start creating short films in the future. AI has been my best friend through all this and helped me be not only creative but get more done! I’m excited to be part of this community!

Originally from the US, I'm a passionate nomad enjoying life in Thailand. My journey has been anything but linear, yet remarkably enriching. From corporate burnout to mastering marketing, sales, and coaching, I've worn many hats. My diverse experiences as a chef and sommelier have added depth to my skillset. I love helping people grow beyond their goals and dreams through a holistic approach to business and life.
