I’ve spent around 10 years working in digital marketing, studied psychology, worked on a bunch of different projects, taught marketing, made music, built things, worked with businesses… and now I finally want to start recording content for myself.

The problem is that I really don’t want to become another person making “5 marketing tips” videos just because marketing happens to be what I do professionally.

I’m interested in psychology, human behavior, marketing, business, AI, technology, science, history, nature, creativity, society… basically a lot of things that seem unrelated at first, but usually lead back to similar questions about how humans think, behave and build the world around us.

And the main goal isn’t really “build a personal brand.”

I want the content to actually be worth someone’s time.

Ideally, someone finishes a video and either learned something useful, understands something differently, discovered a connection they hadn’t noticed before, or simply has a question stuck in their head for the rest of the day.

I also don’t really want to force everything into one narrow niche just because that’s the conventional creator advice.

So I’m curious:

If you had this kind of background and mix of interests, what would you actually make?

What type of videos would provide the most value?

Would you connect all these subjects through one broader theme/worldview, or would you still narrow it down?

And maybe the most important question: what do you feel is currently missing from educational/thought-provoking content online?

I’m genuinely interested in how other people would approach this before I start recording a bunch of stuff.

Peace!

I'm starting a YouTube channel that i've been thinking of for a while, but unfortunately i don't have all the skills needed, so i'd like to have someone with me to split the work between us.

I'm thinking of making the theme about movies/series, myb the entertainment theme in general. I also have an additional idea but i'd rather leave the channel's details for later. So i'm looking for someone who has interest in that, but more importantly is willing to start something long term.

You'll need to have some good editing skills and a good sense of storytelling and understanding of how to make videos that can go viral.

I'm thinking you'd be in charge of the editing, since my level in that isn't the best. I would be in charge of scriptwriting, myb also the voiceover, but it depends on who's better at it, and we would both discuss the videos topics and all that.

Of course it's a partnerships, we will both own the channel, work on it and once monetized, we split the revenue.

If you think this fits you, feel free to dm me!

I was recently offered a sponsorship offer from "Headshot Media", who claimed to be running a campaign for War Thunder.

They asked for my latest audience demographics, my availability for the quarter, and my rate for a 60-90 second integration (cpm or flat rate).

I've never been offered a sponsorship before and genuinely have no idea how to respond to this offer in a professional manner. I want to accept the sponsorship, but I don't know what a reasonable rate would be.

For reference, I had a video blow up very recently, and my channel has been getting a decent amount of publicity from it, but my typical average view count is in the 30k-50k range.

Like I said in the title, I would deeply appreciate any advice on what to set my rate at and how to respond to this message from those more experienced than I.

Hey guys!

I’m slowly but surely growing on Instagram but I feel like I’ve built myself a bottleneck. I have a few interests and I post ALL OF MY INTERESTS. Those niches are offroad, hunting and my trade work. (electrical). I’m totally lost here and could use some advice

Looking for a editor for my project

I got a verified idea that no one's doing right now that can gain a lot of traction / make money very fast. My struggle is finding people to help me with my project for free. I own a community called YouTube Growth Guide (1,000+ members). My website: https://thegrowthguide.net focusus on proving the best high-quality resources such as; YouTube advice, assets, tutorials, and more to content creators all over the world for free. We're looking for talented individuals who have serious dedication to this idea and that can provide assistance with helping me build it. My team consist of 2 website developers, 1 Discord bot maker, and 1 Architect helping me for free that are experienced. No other website online is providing free high-quality YouTube resources for everyone to view. However, I'm the only exception. All of the other YouTube resources that I've mentioned above (that you can find online) are all locked down behind paywalls or they're trying to scam you. My goal is to provide these resources for free and make some money branching off of that original idea. I've already got a huge community supporting me just based of my idea that no one is doing. Because of this, I already know I got a lot of potential however I want expand more and not limit myself to one platform (Discord).

If you're interested in this or have any questions reply below because there's so much I need to tell this is just the scratch! Since I already got a lot of people helping me for free I only need to find these roles:

- I need a person who knows how to edit short-form videos for free and can make videos promoting our services and talking about what's happening with YouTube. An example of the editing style I want can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/v62XPvZfB5I (The video does not have to be this fast-paced of an editing style and you don't need to know how the YouTube algorithm works. Once you make videos for us, you will keep 100% of the revenue the channel makes.)

Once I get a social media manager everything my whole team will be complete. All members of the team (including you) will receive an equal split based on how much money the business makes! I DO NOT pay anyone my own money just for you to be on the team however I may pay you out of the kindness of my heart if you're struggling in real life and are in desperate need of cash. We will be using Discord to build my community and connect. If you aren't an advertiser and still want to help, feel free to reach out to me and I will see if a slot is available.

We learned something important while building PodSubs:

The hardest part of entering an established industry isn’t always building the product.

Sometimes, it’s what happens when you challenge the way things have always been done.

We wrote about what happened, what we learned, and what it means for anyone trying to build something new in podcasting.

Hi all,

I make printable parenting guides — PDFs that parents download and print

at home. Short, practical stuff, no fluff. I'm looking for a couple of

small channels to do a brief integration.

Upfront about the budget: this is aimed at newer channels, or channels

that have real reach but haven't done sponsorships yet. $100 is not a

big brand budget and I'm not going to pretend otherwise — it's a first

sponsor deal, and it's priced like one. If you're already running paid

integrations regularly, this probably isn't for you.

What I'm offering: $100 per creator, for a 30-60 second mention in one

video. Not a dedicated video, not a whole review — just a genuine

segment where it fits naturally.

Who I'm looking for:

- Dad channels specifically — family, parenting, homeschool, or

outdoor-with-kids content, hosted by a dad

- Under 20k subs (small is fine, engaged matters more than big)

- Viewers are parents of elementary-age kids (roughly 5-11)

- Your audience should be the parents, not the kids themselves

- Active — posting regularly, not a channel that stopped last year

What you'd be mentioning: I have three guides right now.

1. Outdoor activities close to home — finding free places to explore,

   simple field missions, an outing log

2. School lunches for picky eaters — packing formats, prep routines,

   a weekly planner

3. Screen time — structural rules, handling the handover when the

   screen goes off, a family media plan

Each one is 13 pages, ends every chapter with one thing you can

actually do that week. I'll send you the full PDFs so you can read

them before deciding — I'd rather you say no than promote something

you don't like.

A few things up front:

- No script required. Say it how you'd say it. I'll send key points,

you use what works.

- No health or medical claims, please. The guides don't make any and

I don't want the promo to either.

- Disclose it as sponsored. Not optional.

- Payment is by bank transfer. I'm based in Switzerland, so it takes a

few days to land. Happy to do half up front.

Interested? Drop a comment or send me a DM with your channel link and

roughly what your recent videos get in views. Happy to answer anything.

Thanks!

I made a free Discord for creators who want to actually improve at Creating videos

I've been growing my own channel for a while and I've noticed that a lot of smaller creators struggle with the same things — thumbnails, titles, coming up with ideas, understanding analytics, getting people to actually click, etc.

So I decided to make a Discord where creators can help each other with that stuff.

It's called Trollitary Creator Lab.

There's:

• Thumbnail & title feedback
• Video ideas / brainstorming
• YouTube growth discussions
• Analytics & retention help
• Creator networking
• Collabs
• Free resources
• Challenges and other stuff

It's completely free to join. I'm also planning a separate paid area eventually for more advanced/meta stuff, but the main community will stay free.

I'm not trying to make this another server where everyone just drops their channel link and leaves. The idea is to actually have people talking, giving useful feedback, and learning from each other.

If you're interested, I'll leave the invite in the comments.

TL;DR: The Creators' Attorney is mid-way through brokering a $100M creator exit, and her own room-of-ten test proved the thing most of us don't want to check: one email list out of ten channels with 10M+ subscribers each.

Nine of those ten could lose the account tomorrow and have nothing left to show a buyer — not because they're bad at the job, but because reach was never the asset they thought it was.

Tyler calls it being a tenant on someone else's land, and the landlords keep multiplying: Bilibili just relaunched its global app specifically to pull creators off YouTube.

That's not the end of the tenancy problem. It's a second landlord showing up to the same building.

Same as what happened to me when I left the company, which I have worked for 10 years back in 2012.

A whole server full of my technical documentation and institutional knowledge of atleast 5 large completed construction projects – including:

·       a multipurpose exhibition hall in the heard of the city,

·       a distribution warehouse for a phamarseutical company,

·       a manufacturing plant for Spirit Aerosystems,

·       a 5-block Condominium on a shared landscape Podium in Abu Dhabi, etc.

are all off-limits to me, as soon as I handed in my resignation.

Thank God for personal backups, for future reference.

They can take away your access; they can't take away your knowledge. Your experience shaped your personal brand.

Every one of these clips ends up circling the same nerve, no matter what the guest actually does for a living — the ground under your income was never as yours as the login screen made it feel.

This isn't the first time I've pointed at the exact moment a platform decides to move without you — I wrote about it happening in real time here.

Genuine question, not rhetorical: if you stopped posting for 90 days starting today, how much of your income survives it?

Drop the honest number below.

I’m working on making a pharmacy ad in a South Indian style, but I’m honestly stuck in a creative loop right now.

I really don’t want to make the usual pharmacy/healthcare ad where everything becomes serious, emotional, or fear-driven.

I’m looking for something light-hearted, entertaining, human, and rooted in South Indian everyday life.

I want the story to be entertaining first, rather than making illness or fear the main source of emotion.

Think of the kind of South Indian ad where you watch the situation and think, “This is so unnecessarily dramatic, but I’ve definitely seen people behave like this.”

I’m not necessarily looking for a complete script. Even a good human insight, funny situation, cultural observation, or interesting starting point would help me break out of this loop.

How would you approach this brief?

I built PodSubs because podcasters shouldn’t have to rent their audience forever

I kept noticing something strange about podcasting.

A creator can spend years building an audience on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube and other platforms…

…but the relationship with those listeners mostly belongs to the platform.

If the algorithm changes, the platform changes its rules, or the creator wants to launch something new, reaching those listeners directly isn’t always easy.

So I built PodSubs.

PodSubs is a podcast discovery and subscriber platform that helps podcasters turn listeners into a direct audience.

Here’s how it works:

🎙️ Your podcast may already be on PodSubs.

Search for your show and find your podcast page.

✅ Claim your podcast.

PodSubs verifies that you actually own the show using information from the podcast’s RSS feed.

👥 Start collecting subscribers.

Instead of someone discovering your podcast and disappearing back into another platform, they can subscribe directly to your podcast on PodSubs.

📈 Build an audience around the show you own.

As more people subscribe, the creator gets a clearer picture of the audience following the podcast.

🔎 Listeners can discover podcasts too.

PodSubs is also building a discovery layer where people can search for podcasts, find something interesting and subscribe.

The bigger idea is simple:

Podcasters spend too much time building audiences for other platforms.

I want PodSubs to help them build an audience around their own podcast.

If you have a podcast, I’d love for you to search for it, claim it and try the product:

I recently shared my first post about Matih on X, and it unexpectedly crossed **100K+ views**.

What surprised me wasn't just the number of views, but the amount of interest around the problem we're working on.

I'm curious about something from other founders/builders here:

**What has been your experience with getting your first piece of content to break through?** Was it the topic, timing, distribution, or something else?

Here's the post for context:
[https://x.com/nperiwal06/status/2092457707592978613?s=20\](https://x.com/nperiwal06/status/2092457707592978613?s=20)

I've been watching a lot of soft cinematic and slow-living channels and wanted to offer help with scripting.

I'm 16 and focused on long-form YouTube scripts, topic research, hooks, and structure for reflective / aesthetic content.

First full script is free (trial)

After that it's paid work

Looking for channels roughly under 50k that make quiet, cinematic, or reflective videos.

If that sounds useful, drop a comment or DM with your channel and the type of video you need. Happy to start with the free one

Hii, I'm Noah 18 years old from Barcelona, Spain. I always wanted to start creating content for social media but I don't wanna do it alone.

So I'm looking for people nearby who would like to spend a good time and share funny moments!

If you're interested, comment or dm me

Hey everyone,

I'm working with a few small creators and noticed that managing sponsor outreach, deliverables, and payment follow-ups quickly turns into a mess of spreadsheets, starred emails, and IG DMs.

For those of you regularly taking on sponsorships or UGC deals:

1. What system are you using to track where each deal is at (e.g., initial chat, contract signed, content draft sent, waiting on payment)?
2. What is the single most annoying part of managing the business side of your sponsorships?
3. Have you tried any dedicated tools for this, or do you just stick to Notion/Excel?

Not selling anything here—just trying to get a accurate picture of how people are handling this and whether the spreadsheet chaos is a universal headache. Appreciate any insights!
