Well hello there Reader.
Before I started creating YouTube content, I spent many years working as a brand designer & strategist. I am still HUGELY passionate about branding, and grateful that I got to help incredible artists, authors, and experts in their fields to build their brands. But I eventually got to a point where realized that I could only take on so many clients at a time, and I was already feeling stretched...I knew I wanted to make a change in my business.
So I started doing all the courses and watching all the videos and following all the experts...and all it did was paralyze me with indecision and make me feel massively overwhelmed. And so my business stagnated and I felt more and more left behind. EVERYONE else seemed to have their shit together, and I just couldn't seem to move forward.
I knew I needed help...but I just didn't know what to do next...plus I was REALLY tired of all the hard-sell 'coaches' out there telling me I had to do loads of adverts and hire a team and that it was all my fault anyway cos I had a scarcity mindset but I still needed to hit 'six figures' to be a success.
AAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHH! π€π€―π€¬
Finding my place
One thing changed everything for me. I found out that a couple of online business creators that I followed (and loved) had a coaching program! I joined the community, followed the coaching, and thanks to their help I launched my new business with a clear plan and idea of what I wanted to do. I genuinely would not be writing this email today if I had not had Wandering Aimfully in my corner.
Run by two of the nicest people on the planet (Jason & Caroline Zook), Wandering Aimfully (WAIM) gives solopreneur creators access to a lifetime coaching program to grow their digital products business. It's monthly (unboring) business coaching; a HUGE library of courses on all sorts of topics (from podcasting to launching) and it's a community of online business owners who all value transparency, real talk, and defining your own idea of 'success'...WITHOUT the 'hustle'.
The hardest thing about explaining WAIM is that it offers SO much value. But Jason & Caroline have JUST opened enrollment for WAIM with a brand new 6-month coaching offer - a step-by-step plan and monthly guidance so you can finally get your online business off the ground, without the usual stress and second-guessing - so I thought it was the PERFECT time to tell you about it.
If you are looking for a way to get honest, proven guidance on how to move your business forward - from people who truly walk the talk - then I can whole-heartedly recommend Wandering Aimfully. And this 6-month offer (which they don't usually have as an option) is a GREAT starting point.
I know I'm biased*, but that's because I am living proof of how much difference finding the right coaching and community can have.π€
Just hit the button below to explore more about WAIM - enrollment is now open, and if you have ANY questions, please just drop me a line support@createdbywayne.com. I am always happy to share openly & honestly about my experience.
Make it easy on yourself
If there's one thing we have learned over the last year or two it's that whether it's algorithm changes, evil overlords or just petty power displays, we are very much at the mercy of the people who run whatever platform we use to promote our business. However - I don't know about you - but I don't have the time (or energy!) to create multiple formats of content from scratch, all in different proportions & sizes for a broader reach.
A lot of people have spent the last few years focusing on creating vertical video content - it's what the algorithm demanded!π - and so in this week's YouTube tutorial I am walking you through a few ways to quickly and easily take vertical video that your already have, and re-use it in a horizontal format for other platforms - or even for a lead magnet, workshop or course materials - with minimal editing required.
βCheck it out and let me know in the comments if you found it helpful!
Have a fabulous weekend, be kind to yourself (and others), and I'll see you same time, same place next week. π€
