I posted this on @Ruben Plasmeijer community a while ago but it's also good "Roast my Lesson material, so I'm reposting it here" ---------------------------------------- Most commmunities fail at engagement for one simple reason: they don't explain to their members how they should do it. ---> Here are some basic tips: - Branding: My whole brand is built around what people can do inside, and not on what I will do. That makes a huge difference. - Welcome DM: I welcome my members giving them specific instructions on the posts they can make as soon as they join. I make it personal by checking their community and profile. So they usually post right away. - I use post categories as a way to show people the kinds of posts they can make. And if that's not clear enough, my onboarding process has a link with detailed explanations of each categories. - I have clear rewards for people who engage. --> Here are some activities you can give to people for engagent: - Competitions, challenges, gamification: great if you have a clear prize and rules that are easy to understand - Support: give clear instructions on how people can come to you for help and commit to answer every post - Accountability: follow up people on their goals and how they are at each step - Shoutouts: share the wins of your members with the community - Exposure opportunities: have clear rules that allow people to promote their work (or for you to promote them) without making your community a spam fest. - Regular live events (where people do more than just listen to you) - Posts for people to have fun and know eachother: if your community feels like work for you it will feel like work to everyone. And no one wants extra work. - Feedback (the whole premisse of my community): instruct people to make posts asking for feedback on their work.

Affiliate marketing is a way to earn money by promoting other people’s products or services and earning a commission when someone buys through your link. Here’s how it works in simple terms: You join an affiliate program (like Amazon Associates, ClickBank, Digistore24, or software companies), and they give you a unique tracking link. You then promote that link through content—such as TikTok videos, YouTube videos, Instagram posts, blogs, or email. When someone clicks your link and makes a purchase, you earn a commission. The best part is you don’t need to create a product, handle customers, or deal with delivery. Your job is simply to connect the right people with the right solution. Affiliate marketing can become “passive income” because content you create once can keep generating traffic over time. For example, a YouTube video or blog post you made months ago can still bring in clicks and sales while you sleep. To get started, you typically: 1. Choose a niche (something like fitness, AI tools, business, or software). 2. Pick affiliate products that match your niche. 3. Build a traffic source (short-form content, YouTube, or a blog). 4. Create helpful content around problems and solutions. 5. Place your affiliate link where people can easily find it. At the beginning, results are usually slow because you’re building content and trust. But with consistency, it can grow into a strong income stream over time. The key mindset is this: affiliate marketing is not about pushing products—it’s about recommending helpful solutions to the right audience.

Trying to get real feedback before I keep making more of these and accidentally build the wrong thing 😂 Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRFEPUtnqP8 I’m making videos around AI filmmaking / AI anime, and I want the content to actually be useful — not just another “look what AI can do” video. Please roast: - Does the hook make you want to keep watching? - Is the video clear, or does it feel confusing? - Does the title/thumbnail match the actual video? - Where does your attention drop? Be honest. I’m not looking for compliments. I’m trying to figure out what is actually working and what is just me being attached to my own idea. GO!!

I got some flack from @Lion Fludd about poor eye contact in my first video on my About Page. He didn't "Feel it". So this may seem like a call out, but it's not. I just want his honest opinion now. I fixed the video and want to know, do you feel it now? And everyone else can join in too! AI Storytellers
