Founder’s Corner

Most people think they need 100,000 or even a million views to succeed. But in my journey as a creator, here’s what I’ve learned 🤔:

Some of my best-performing videos — the ones that actually brought in new business, had only 7,000 views and maybe 40 comments! But those people are exactly who we wanted to reach 🔥. That video worked and brought in new business because it reached the right audience, not the biggest one. 📈 

So my POV is simple: I’d rather have 5 to 10K laser-focused views than a million random ones. 🎯

When creators come up and tell me, “my video only get like 10 or 14,000 views…”

I’m like —

You LITERALLY just filled the Crypto Arena dude!! 🤯 You need a change in perspective!

Imagine that many people sitting down and actually caring about what you’re saying. That’s powerful 💪! We don’t need massive numbers. We need the right people who are bought in, excited, and align with your vision! ⭐⭐

That’s why I believe in the 1000 True Fans mindset 💡. You don’t need millions of followers… just 1,000 people who are truly obsessed with your work!

The ones who watch, comment, and show up consistently, that’s who you should be thinking about! That’s how you build something big and sustainable. Every time I post, I’m not thinking about going viral, rather I’m focussing on one person on the other side of the screen who might see themselves in my content and feel connected!

I hope this helps you change your perspective a little. It’s not always about numbers and going viral, but about finding the right people. So keep posting, keep creating and find your tribe! 🤙 😎
