Hey guys my name is Dane Nelson Aka Dane Visuals and I'm a content creator from Jamaica who's been doing videography for over 8 years. I now make youtube videos teaching people how to fly their drones and I plan to eventually move over into general camera tutorials and cinematic videos. Originally my primary focus was making content for medium and small-sized businesses as well as for corporate and major brands and I was able to open up a lot of opportunities for myself but over time I started feeling very unfulfilled with the industry, clients weren't giving me much creative freedom, I felt stressed out from constantly having to haggle for fair compensation and the industry felt very time-consuming and unappreciative, whenever I did a project it had no long term sustenance, I had to immediately start thinking about the next project, there was no security and I had always had a dream of traveling the world but whenever I was able to travel for a bit, I would go into a panic as I would make no money while away from my home. I realized that I was building other persons brand but not making any time for my own, as someone who had already amassed years' worth of experience with videography and photography I decided to turn to Youtube as a way to build my personal brand and create long term sustenance so that I could earn wherever I was. Youtube was my original teacher, I had no formal education in photography or videography I learnt everything through Youtube and a few creators who I hold very dearly. I started shooting content for myself in 2017 and I was met with a rude awakening, shooting yourself is hard, as an entrepreneur whenever I take on a client project I give it a 100% but it is very hard sometimes to put that same level of energy into a personal project as there is no one over you but yourself, I also learnt that even if I made visually stunning videos it did not guarantee views, I was hurt many times when I saw persons get more views than me even though I thought I had better videos (sadly this wasn't the case), it was a very humbling experience as you would think it would be easy for a videography to blow up on Youtube but trust me it's more than just making visually appealing videos fast forward many years of inconsistent efforts and I now have around 1700 subscriberS and I am monetized but thank god I was able to take lessons from a few creators that helped change my perspectives I was lucky to take part in creator now with Airack and I also did a Cohort with Jake Thomas a youtube title master. So the main point of this post is that I love the fact that I'm now in a community of people that have similar goals and stories like mine, let's start working together guys, let's share tips and tricks, and let's share our wins and our losses. I plan to make Youtube my full-time earner next year and I hope to make some friends with the same goals as well. This is my Journey to 10k/mo thread ( Im currently making around $20 lol) where ill share my occasional progress with anyone whos interested and hopefully meet some friends who'd want to attend vid summit with me in October 😁. Also major thanks to @Andrew Kirby for this community man, I stay synthesizing everyday man 🤝

Yesterday I made a post sharing the 5 lessons I learned from a $500m mastermind. Would it be valuable to you if I had a 13,000 word transcription from many of the conversations that were had? Well... Today may be your lucky day. If this post gets 100 comments I'll share it here for free. EDIT: Ladies and Gentlemen... It's here: https://www.skool.com/synthesizers/revealing-the-13000-word-transcript-from-500m-mastermind

I'm not there yet but I'm noticing that there seems to be an unsustainable level of cost increase in North America and I know many of you are operating your businesses from around the globe. So I am thinking about it for the near future. Wanted to ask, which cities/countries would you recommend for someone looking to be a digital nomad? I'm coming at this from these primary parameters (not necessarily in this order) : 1) Cost of living 2) Public Safety 3) High-Speed Internet 4) Language Barrier 5) Quality of Life (access to organic/grass-fed food, gyms, health, and wellness-oriented features)

I’m meeting some great people here and just wondered where we are all from! Hopefully we can have some in person meet ups 🙌🏼 I’ve seen a couple already 😏😎 PS. Heads up, we have a google map of where our synthesizers are, feel free to add yourself: https://www.skool.com/synthesizers/taking-over-the-world-how-to-join-the-synthesizer-map?p=87794b04

Hey I recently had the idea of offering one one coaching sessions. I was thinking of using Calendly to allow persons to pick a spot after they've sent me a payment on PayPal. Any coaches here would like to drop some insight or share some knowledge on the topic of coaching sessions ?
