@Julia Smith Yes I do. It was surprisingly easy to set up actually.

@Julia Smith Yup i'm all good

@Shannon Carpenter Oh Wow. That is very serendipitous indeed. Thank you for sharing. Sounds like it's going to be a great book. Would love to hear your thoughts after you finish with it.

@Ryan Morency Very cool! You are in for a fun journey. I work a full-time job and do my content on the side. I try to do 1-2 hours a day on it. I do all my long content editing on my laptop and all my shorts on my phone. I would highly recommend jumping into the “shorts” realm because they will improve your long content editing and even filming. It is very hard to condense a big project into a clip which lasts less than 60 seconds. But you really get a sense for what is important to show and what is unnecessary fluff. After doing those, you soon learn how to improve your long form content and what should be edited out. You get better at your hooks and you get better with voice overs which can sometimes tell your story better. Shorts also help you reach a new audience when you post on YT, IG, and FB (and others if you choose to). Just my two cents. My sustainable plan has been to push for 2 shorts per week and a long video every 2-3 weeks depending. What software do you use for your long content editing?

@Ryan Morency All good things for sure. Sounds like you've done a lot of research. I agree with the feedback to get one platform going at a time for sure. It seemed like you were pretty far on your journey so I thought it would be a okay to bring up the short form content. Nice job creating a video so quickly and consistently. What are you posting on Skool to make it different than your YouTube content? I started YouTube much earlier than Skool so I am struggling on how to make Skool "worth it" for people to come and learn. I've never used Premier Pro. I started with Capcut but quickly switched to Davinci. Yeah it takes a while to get comfortable talking to a camera for sure. I can't image how much of a change it must be for your son too. Props to him for trying something new! Yes each new video is definitely a learning experience for sure. I have to keep reminding myself that when I work hard on a video but it doesn't perform as well as I'd hoped. As long as I am trying to learn, grow, and developing these skills, then it was a success. Yes making and editing videos definitely takes a lot of time but I always like having something to work on. Something where my thoughts can be occupied and I feel like I am accomplishing something. My end objective is definitely to make enough to not work my 9-5 and do more paying construction projects on my own while still making content. I'd like to make enough to support my family and to also go on a humanitarian construction project each summer with one of my kids. You know...give back while also helping my kids experience giving back in different ways. One day...

@Ryan Morency thank you!

@Ryan Morency pretty sweet huh? I learned it a few years ago from some carpenters. My mind was blown!

@Ryan Morency haha. Totally. Thanks for the idea.
