I've made so much money off of content for the last couple months that Bloomberg News reached out to me to ask how micro creators like myself are making all this money. And ahead of that article coming out, I'm going to share some of my secrets with you so that you can make some money too. You are valuable to brands for two reasons. You provide them assets, which are your videos, and then you let them borrow your audience. If you are a smaller creator and you don't have a large audience, you have to shine in the asset department. I have always made it a point to make damn near commercial-grade content. Brands will see that and think, I can seamlessly integrate whatever product that I want into this person's video. And I'm going to tell you about storytelling. I'm so passionate about that part of content creation and so are brands. And if you take the time to learn how to be a good storyteller, that's what sales is, that's what marketing is, and brands will pay you for that. Number two is that I am a professional in real life. I'm a dentist. I have a doctor degree. They are borrowing my title of a dentist and as a professional, and we use that as a leverage point when we're negotiating. My time away from my patients is time away from money that I could be making. Even though I'm in residency right now and I get paid like nothing, one day I will be essentially giving up a day of doing like high-end dentistry and getting a lot of money to build somebody else's brand. If you are somebody who does something very real in your life and you have a title that you went to school for years for, brands are borrowing, you know, that title from you and you need to charge them from that. And then last but not least, I'm a business, man. I treat this shit like a business. I have learned contractual terms. I know what, you know, paid usage is, what whitelisting is, what exclusivity is. I am taking the time to really build infrastructure around my business. Like, I have an LLC. I have an accountant. What I'm trying to say is that when you have the psychological switch that this is a very real thing, the world will start treating you like that. $250 billion is what the creator economy is currently worth. It's headed for 400 billion. I say this every video. Take it serious, and it will take you serious. I love you. There's nothing you can do about that. I say that every video, I mean it, and I'll see you next video.
