Creatorcollege.com $15M this year. 2 months and black friday to go.
Hosting so many webinars right now. Constantly optimising and improving. New tests this week across clients:
-Live sales calls
-Playing interview testimonials
-4 person round table of past students
-2 diff checkout pages to drop then see which cvr higher and push that more
The data shows more webinars is more money. Audience does not fatigue.

Biggest scam in the infoproduct space:
Build your own community and make a bunch of money.
I see the data at SamCart across 75,000+ businesses, and it goes the same way every time:
- You're told to grow an audience and let people pay you monthly to hang out with you.
- You launch, and if you have an audience, sure, you can convince people to buy it.
- You find out what churn is, because every month that goes by, you're losing people.
- You need new people every month just to keep it flat, let alone grow it.
- You're beholden to the ones left, so you have to make stuff for them constantly.
- You hate it, you're resentful, and you're making nothing from it.
- You're 6, 7, 8 months out from launch with a ghost town.
“Build your own community and make a bunch of money” is a complete scheme Skool and Circle sold you.
$3M this month for one of my portfolio businesses. Creatorcollege.com
Launched a new low ticket. Straight cash.
Kids out here, realising what the OGs been doing. Genflow.com
You can make a hundred million dollars as a Growth Operator if you're really smart.
Transparently, here's the exact path I'm going for.
Accomplished: $350k/mo w/ 7 clients at 20% profit share
Currently: 2 publishing clients $300k/mo, wiped my low hanging fruit deals
Eventually: Investing in businesses + ops and making without sweat equity.
So the agency model eventually moves into private equity, a billion dollar play.
The most scaleable model on the internet
Power of being a creator
Piers Morgan reveals investors just valued his Uncensored media empire at $145,000,000 after ITV forced him out over his Meghan Markle comments.
He’s owned it for just 18 months. It’s now worth 100 years of his old salary at ITV.
PIERS MORGAN: “We announced yesterday we’ve just finished an investor round on Uncensored.”
“It’s got four and a half million subscribers now, generates a lot of cash from advertising and sponsorships.”
“I knew I had to build a business which would actually in the end become much less reliant on me. So I decided to take Uncensored as the brand of the business.”
“And we’ve just done World Cup Uncensored… And that’s blown up as well. We’re doing bigger numbers than Gary Lineker’s show, which Netflix paid $14 million for.”
“We don’t pay anyone to market our content. We do it all ourselves.”
“The investors have valued the business $145 million US.”
KARL STEFANOVIC: “But how many years?”
PIERS MORGAN: “I’ve only owned it a year and a half.”
“We’ve got a business worth nearly $150 million in 18 months.”
KARL STEFANOVIC: “Congratulations.”
PIERS MORGAN: “I think the sky’s the limit for this stuff.”

WORST NICHES TO BUILD AN AGENCY AROUND:
- Offline businesses that no one has ever heard of
- Dentists, restaurants, and local service providers
- Corporate clients with 20-question approval chains
- Anyone who needs a boss to sign off before saying yes
- Clients one bad month away from shutting down
BEST NICHES TO BUILD AN AGENCY AROUND:
- Creators with audiences and free distribution already built in
- Online entrepreneurs whose growth compounds your ROI over time
- Clients whose work is public so your portfolio stays live 24/7
- People who make decisions in two messages and want to move fast
- A market where 8/10 kids want to be creators, and demand never slows down
Stop picking niches because some course seller told you they were “untapped.”
Pick the niche where your clients are already winning and will take you with them.

To the guys who open their phone, see AI tools and think they’re behind…
There are literally guys who spent 3 days setting up APIs, connecting tools, and configuring everything… then recorded a “reaction” like it all worked instantly.
They then conveniently leave out every technical detail because the post was meant to get him followers so he could sell a course on how to set it up for $10K.
If someone had actually configured AI to give them a competitive advantage, they’d be using it quietly and making real money from it.
Stop falling for the hype.

I spoke to a room full of agency owners doing $50k-$250k/month.
Here’s what I told them:
THINGS KEEPING YOU AT THAT LEVEL:
1. Picking a service at the top of your client's funnel and never moving past it
2. Helping with lead gen when you could be taking their sales calls and closing for them
3. Signing short contracts when the minimum should be 1 year (you should be aiming for 2 or 5 years)
4. Sending outreach to people who have never seen your face or your content
5. Skipping the manual research and hoping a generic pitch lands
6. Servicing offline businesses and wondering why it doesn’t scale
THINGS THAT ACTUALLY GET YOU PAST IT:
7. Going further down your client's sales process and taking a percentage of the revenue closed
8. Structuring every deal with a setup fee, a base fee, and a revenue share
9. Making content so when your outreach messages land, they already know who you are
10. Interacting with prospects on social media before you ever send a pitch
11. Sitting down and doing real research to find a real problem in their business before you reach out
12. Putting the solution together for them before they ask
WHAT IT ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE WHEN YOU GET THERE:
13. For every new service in the business, you figure it out yourself first
14. You sign the first clients or upsell your current ones before you hand it to anyone
15. Your top 10 clients are getting birthday presents from you because you want to be the first person they think of
16. You sit through board meetings where you have to present well and show up with energy every single time
17. You have your best revenue month in the history of the business, and you’re straight back to work the next day
18. Some days you feel pumped, and some days you feel absolutely shattered (and there are still 3 more hours of teaching to do)
