For everybody who says they want to go full -time as a creator, don't actually realize that it's not just about gaining a following and views.

The algorithm won't build your career.

You will.

So today, I'm going to share how you can too.

The creators who built careers as a full -time creator weren't creating to chase views, attention, or chasing an algorithm.

They were building a system and a network and a community that outlasted, that lived outside of it.

This is The Creator's Desk, a show about the process, strategy, and day -to -day reality of building a career as a creator.

I've lived it, and now I'm sharing everything I've learned.

For context here, I've worked with brands, musicians, at teams at every level.

And all of that was built with me starting with my camera in my bedroom.

You know, it was just an obsession with creating

and a commitment to treat this like a career before I got paid a single dollar to do this.

And that mindset is what changed everything for me.

So let's get into it.

Number one, build a body of work, not just posts.

If you want to make a career out of creating content, you have to stop thinking about views or trying to go viral.

That's a dead end path.

You need to start thinking like it's a portfolio, somebody who's building a brand because your content isn't just your content anymore.

It's your legitimate portfolio on your page.

It represents who you are, what you do, what you stand for.

It's your resume and your track record.

When a brand or a client or even a new follower lands on your page, they should immediately understand these things.

What you do, what makes you unique, and the level that you operate at.

And that doesn't just happen from one good or viral video.

That happens by building a body of work.

So here's how we build that.

Create content that represents a creator that you're becoming.

Don't just post what's trending.

Post what you want to be hired for, what you want to be known for,

or what you want to be paid for eventually in the future.

If you want to be hired to shoot cinematic brand stories start posting cinematic brand stories

and if you don't have the opportunities to do those for any brands go out there

and shoot specs if you want to teach post yourself doing teaching content

if it's travel content even

if you don't have an opportunity like I said go travel on your own dime make your own videos

you need to show the audience and that yourself

and to the people who may see your page

that you have the ability to do this first a lot of people sit on who they want to be

because they're not being hired by this hotel and they want to be this travel creator and they think,

well, I want to be this travel creator, but I'm not going to go do this work if I'm not asked to do this work.

No, stop doing that.

You need to create the content

you want to see yourself getting paid for as a career before anybody pays

you a single dollar to do it because your body of work

and your page should attract who you want to work with and who you want to be.

Make your page easily understandable.

When somebody scrolls through the first few seconds of your profile or your body of work, they should see consistency in tone,

topic, quality, and what you stand for.

So when you make posts, think in format, not singular posts that are disconnected, that don't have any cohesiveness between them.

And this is how you can show

that you can have repeated results no matter who's hiring you

and that you don't just get lucky ones from a viral video.

In so many of my videos, I've always said, if you're interested in more content like this, you can find more here on my page.

And that's a gateway to get other people invested or interested in the other cohesive videos,

like the one they just watched that they could find all over my page.

Show your range inside one lane.

You don't have to jump through multiple niches to show that you're versatile.

All you have to do is explore different angles of the same world, the same topic, the same niche.

So for example, if you're a filmmaker, how else can you show your filmmaking chops other than by showing cinematic images?

Maybe you can post tutorials, client projects, or behind the scenes of that client project.

Maybe some storytelling breakdowns and all of that fits within that niche.

Or if you're a travel creator, don't just show a day in the life vlog.

Try some cinematic videos like packing your setups or maybe even the food that you ate there or a fitness creator.

Don't just show yourself working out.

What's your meal prep, your recovery routine?

What's the mindset?

How do you get past showing up to the gym even when you don't want to?

Because the key here is depth.

It's not width.

The range within a lane shows authority, a deep understanding that you understand every angle.

Because building that kind of body of work that goes deep.

will do these things for you.

It's going to build trust with the people who may potentially want to work with you or even your audience and yourself.

It builds a confidence within yourself because you can literally see a reflection of that on your page.

The volume of work is going to reflect who you want to be

because this isn't going to be luck that you just get this opportunity.

You know, going full time isn't just, I hope somebody finds me.

It's here is the library of work that I've done, here is proof that I really do this.

Number two, treat your content like a brand.

If you want to go full time in this career, you can't just post.

You need to position.

And what that means is the moment you treat your content like a brand, everything is going to change because brands don't just post randomly.

They plan.

They communicate clearly.

They know exactly the direction and have clarity and vision, they stand for something.

Because when people land on your page, they should immediately know who you are and that they've entered your world.

A world that's recognizable and uniquely yours.

So here's how to do that.

Define what you represent.

What connects everything you make?

Maybe it's how you simplify complex ideas or your eye for storytelling or your perspective on a creative discipline.

It can be so many different things, but that through line that connects them all, it becomes your identity.

For example, when I think of my content, I want them to think cinematic first.

That's the vessel.

Then educational storytelling.

You need to define what you want to be remembered for and then make sure that every video,

every caption, every thumbnail, all of the tone in who you are in that content shows up cohesively.

Build a consistent creative experience.

This goes beyond just visuals.

100

This is about feeling.

101

How are you making your potential client or your audience feel?

102

From your thumbnail to how you speak or the music that you use in your edits,

103

your audience and these potential clients should know that this is content that you made immediately.

104

So for me, I knew the pillars of how I wanted to present my content every single time.

105

It was big, bold, yellow fonts, static wide shots shot on a tripod.

106

And I walk in and I present what I'm talking about immediately.

107

And I would like to think that over time, people have associated that with the content that I make.

108

So whatever it is, you need to own it.

109

People trust what feels like it is an ownership of this creator's specific style that is unique to them.

110

People want consistency.

111

Operate like a studio, not a content creator.

112

So stop waking up and deciding what to post that day.

113

That's what burns you out, okay?

114

Studios run on calendars, concepts, pipelines, meetings, okay?

115

Maybe not that, but if you want this to be your job, you have to legitimately treat it like one.

116

Whether it's building a weekly or a monthly programming like different formats, planning a series, or different carousels,

117

something that your audience or potential clients can look forward to every single time you post.

118

It gives your audience structure and familiarity to you.

119

And it also gives you the freedom to create within it.

120

You can experiment so many different ways within those formats because when your content starts to feel like a brand, people start to engage differently.

121

They're not just watching, they buy into what you're saying and not just buy in like purchasing, but you know, it's your style,

122

it's the music, it's what you wear.

123

They start seeing you as more than just a creator on your screen.

124

They see you as a human that they connect with because personal brand is just consistency with purpose, intentional purpose.

125

And that's what takes your creativity from something that you just do, to something that people trust.

126

And lastly, before we get to number three, let's have a word from our sponsor.

127

If you're enjoying this so far and you want to go even deeper

128

and build the foundational systems that make all of this possible, I built an online academy called Content College.

129

Inside, you'll learn how to plan, write, film, edit, and post with a creative system designed to help you grow without burning out.

130

And it's more than just courses.

131

You'll also be getting my color grading preset, my sound effects pack, my templates,

132

worksheets, and how I film and edit my videos from start to finish.

133

And it just starts there because there is so much more inside.

134

And I'm not just showing you how I make my videos.

135

We'll be working on your videos together every step of the process.

136

The skills you need that won't be affected by an algorithm.

137

So if you're serious about taking your content to the next level, check out Content College.

138

The link is down below in the description.

139

Now let's get back to number three.

140

Learn to sell through storytelling.

141

So here's the honest truth.

142

If you want to turn creating into a career, you have to get comfortable with the business side.

143

And how you do that matters.

144

And you don't need to be salesy to make your money from content.

145

You just need to know how to tell a story that shows value.

146

Because when you sell through storytelling, you're not pushing a product.

147

You're not selling something to your audience.

148

You're inviting them into something that makes sense for them.

149

You make all this content where people trust that you do this thing.

150

And when you get to the business side, it's like, hey, welcome.

151

I've opened the doors.

152

If you trust me doing this, I also do this here, whether it's a product or a service.

153

So here's how to do it.

154

Solve a problem.

155

Don't pitch a product.

156

Think about what your audience may struggle with and show how you may offer help to that.

157

If you're selling a course, don't say, I'm selling a course and this will help you do this.

158

No, you want to sell the transformation.

159

Demonstrate how it works within their daily life or their workflow.

160

People want to know what they're going to be before and after they buy any product.

161

If you buy shoes, what are you going to feel?

162

Cool.

163

If you buy a jacket, what are you going to feel?

164

Warm.

165

If you sell a course, are you selling knowledge or are you selling who you're going to be after you take that course?

166

You're not selling the thing.

167

You're selling what the thing will do.

168

Integrate.

169

Don't interrupt.

170

The best brand deals and products blend seamlessly with the storytelling of the creator.

171

For example, if you're filming a travel video, you want to weave the gear that made that trip easier

172

or the hotel that made that trip feel like a true vacation.

173

If you're an educational creator and you have a gear placement, show how that specific piece of gear improves your process.

174

It should feel like it's part of your world, not just this breakout ad that happens in the middle of your video.

175

People can sense that immediately and they'll scroll or they won't watch or even worse, you lose their trust.

176

Build your own ecosystem.

177

You've heard this before.

178

You shouldn't just rely on brand deals.

179

While they are great and they are going to be a lot of the biggest sources of income for creators,

180

you need to think outside of that.

181

Something that you own.

182

Create your own products, whether it's merchandise or CPG or presets, guides, courses, anything that you can sell your expertise within.

183

For example, if you're a creator known for cinematic visuals, build color grading presets.

184

Or if you're a travel creator, you can make travel guides or itinerary templates.

185

You want to build things that serve the audience that you already serve for free.

186

This is how you go from relying on brand deals to building your own business.

187

And, you know, selling, I understand that it's kind of an icky thing, right?

188

You feel gross, but it doesn't have to feel like manipulation.

189

You have to communicate this clearly though, because when you tell stories that help teach

190

or inspire selling becomes an extension of who you are

191

and what you serve

192

because people aren't just buying the products like I said right

193

they buy the trust they buy the emotion they buy the connection

194

then built they buy who they are going to be after they buy this service

195

or product all right that is everything on today's topic

196

but of course as we all know now it's your turn these are all comments

197

that have been left to me and picked out

198

and sorted by my team so it is the first time I am seeing these for a rapid Q &A.

199

Let's go.

200

What do you do when you have a job and don't have time to post infinite content?

201

You do just enough to not burn yourself out but

202

if you want to turn it into a creative career then you're going to have to treat it more like a job.

203

It really just depends if you see creating content as a form of expression

204

or a lane you actually want to build a career off of.

205

If you're going here, then you're going to have to work really, really hard at it.

206

If you want to go here and just express yourself

207

because these are hobbies that you enjoy and places that you like sharing, don't pressure yourself too hard.

208

It's supposed to be fun.

209

It's supposed to be a form of expression.

210

So don't hold yourself to this standard of, I need to be posting multiple times a week in order to grow.

211

None of that matters.

212

Post what genuinely feels like you and what will make you happy without burning yourself out.

213

Best camera movements.

214

My favorite camera movement is this right here.

215

Static, on a tripod, setting it up with the right lens, making sure I get the right focal length,

216

the right lighting, and just delivering in front of the lens what I want to convey.

217

I honestly don't think there is a better or more useful shot than the locked off tripod shot.

218

What is the best FPS we should film at and why?

219

I don't think there's a best, but I could tell you what I prefer.

220

I prefer 24 frames a second because that's what movies.. were shot on

221

and I understand that there are 60 frames a second there's 120

222

and that's cool for slow -mo

223

but for me personally

224

I'm choosing 24 over 30 each time even though I know 30 is the social media thing to do

225

but in my mid -30s I grew up watching movies shot on film

226

and film was shot at 24 frames a second

227

and there is a nostalgic aspect as to why I enjoy 24 frames a second.

228

Well, that's all the questions we have.

229

And if you have any, just leave them down below.

230

And if you've made it this far, comment the word raccoon so we can confuse everybody and be like,

231

why is there a bunch of raccoon comments?

232

Just so I know y 'all are the real ones who stuck around this long.

233

And before you leave, make sure you are subscribed to the free APCC newsletter for digestible content creation tips

234

that will be sent to you every week, as well as highlighting some of our community's creators.

235

And be sure to like and subscribe and turn the notification bell on because it really does matter to me.

236

It makes me feel, it makes me feel loved, honestly.

237

And lastly, follow me on the other platforms.

238

You'll see it down below because I post different content depending on the platform.

239

Anyways, I'll see y 'all back here.

240

Same time, same place in two weeks.

241

Peace.

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
