I did NOT expect this to go viral.


Hey Reader,
​
​
Long time no talk - that's on me, but since you're on my email list I figured I'd share something cool with ya.
​
​I had a YouTube video go viral!
​
​
And by viral I mean it WAYYY outperformed any other video I've ever produced.
​
Take a look at this. πŸ‘€

For comparison's sake look how it's performing against my other top videos (if you can call it that haha).

And because of the success of this video, we're only more 10 subscribers away from hitting the elusive 1,000 subscriber mark!

It's small potatoes for many, but boy am I overjoyed right now.

NOT because this means we're rocketing toward YouTube stardom by any means... But because we're finally finding some market fit with the content we've been cranking out for so long.
​
Plus, because YT has pushed this out to over 110,000 people (total impressions so far), I had a MUCH higher chance of the right viewers finding it and leaving their feedback in the form of watch time, likes, and comments.
​
And the positive comments have been overwhelmingly great, that it has really begun to open my eyes to where and how I can contribute the most value for my target audience into the future.

Every one-person brand and creator start at the same spot.

Zero Content
Zero Engagement
Zero Feedback
Zero Everything
​
With over 600 videos and shorts published, it's safe to say we've been putting in the work.
​
Not here to brag, or anything of the sort.
Just wanted to celebrate this WITH you and thank you for caring enough in my journey and content to be here on my email list. ❀️🀝

But the big question is...
​
What made this video do so well?
I believe it was a combination of things - which, drumroll......
​
I plan to make a video about soon.
So make sure you're subscribed! haha

P.S. ​
​
Based on the comments I've gotten so far, it seems like there's a LOT of people looking for hands-on advice, guidance, and more importantly encouragement on their video creation journey too.
​
Does this sound like something you'd like as well?
​
If so, please reply to this email and let me know - I'm cooking up something you will enjoy, and I'd love to have your input as I build it.

12 Years of GROWTH TIPS for Creators & Solo Businesses in 60 minutes

"Why am I NOT GROWING?" I've been doing the full-time (no backup plan) solopreneur/creator thing for a while now, and that question has hung around in my head for the better part of 5 years at this point. What I've learned is that it's more than doing exactly what 'pros' tell you to do. It's a matter of discovering, understanding, and continuously applying the foundational principles that live under the surface of everybody's advice. I just published a monster of a video that goes over the 20...

Hey Reader,This time last year I was at my lowest.After a freak dirtbike accident, I experienced the worst injury in my life.Which landed me in the hospital for 9 days, a series of painful surgeries, and months on bedrest. I. was. useless. Not to mention, while laying in that hospital bed hardly able to move, my largest paying client at the time dropped me and my services. 85% of my income gone. poof. To make matters worse, my wife Megan and I, after years of hard work to successfully...

Resolutions.Goals.New Commitments.I can smell the excitement and upcoming failed attempts in the air!It's almost comical how the new year season typically plays out for most.Maybe it's time to play the game with the opposite approach.Have you heard of anti-goals?Here's 3 of mine (click the box below). Evan Shank @the_evanshank I love the idea of anti-goals. Why? Because as humans we are typically more motivated by what WE DON’T WANT to happen. 2023 was a tough year for me - some unexpected...
