@Alex Green That is amazing! What sort of side business did you start? Is it something we can help promote for you? That is a great reminder! Any progress is still progress!

@Alex Green I made a fan page for a webtoon I drew way back in the day called "Bob Dies at the End". It was just a short comic I would do about "Bob" dying in crazy ways. Like dumb ways to die or 1000 ways to die style. I didn't use the FB page much for it. It was easy to make by setting it up through my FB. I don't think your friends and stuff see it if you aren't ready to share it with your close circle. FB does have something like 2 billion active users a day. Something insane like that. I would make a page for your community and then start searching your Niche and joining those groups and just promoting/linking to yours. See if you can't get a little traction. If you get any links setup I will advertise them for you on my youtube/community here! Just let me know the links and such. I am going to make a FB and Substack for my community this week sometime and will link my FB one. I haven't messed with it in a many, but I can make a quick video and DM you.

@Alex Green Awesome! I will respond here shortly! Always happy to share thoughts!

I love this post! This is something that I feel I have to always be mindful of. I am really bad about going 110 percent into a venture and if I don't quickly turn a profit/get something out of it, I will consider it a loss and move on. I have had big wins and I have been burned a few times. The thing that is 100 percent true is if I just stayed consistent, hooked up, and kept pushing---I would have had that win! These are powerful and true words. A person can't just toss in the towel on month 6. It takes time to build. It starts as a drip at first, then maybe a little stream, but it just takes consistency, time, and work to see that river flowing.

@Michael Sinclaire That is fantastic advice! I agree.

@Michael Sinclaire We need to add each other on there! We are into plants vs brainrots right now lol.

@Michael Sinclaire That is so true! It is a saturated market and you have to just get super lucky to make money quick. If it was easy, everyone would do it! It takes time for sure. This time next year though we are all going to be seeing huge growth!

@Alex Green FB ads would be good! I have been told Reddit is really good. You can pay to advertise or you can just post in subreddits related to your niche. I just uploaded 3 of mine that I did. I plan on sharing several more AI tools soon too. These used Argil. The base plan seems promising, but to do really cool stuff you need their super expensive plan. They have a free trial for 5 days though. They give you 1600 credits, which should be enough for 5-6 videos, but they cut me off at 4 videos with 800 credits left! I am going to give Galaxy AI a try next, as they have a free trial too. They currently have a lifetime option, so it is tempting. The lifetime option you still get limits though, but should be enough to get most of what you need done. They also build up over time too and roll over. I have tried a few others too like Rigid, which is okay. I have Animaze for my vtuber stuff, but I need to play around with it more. I will keep you posted on what I find!

@Michael Sinclaire I really am not too sure. I just have been hearing about it. I have always used adsense, youtube, and fb a handful of times. I am going to check it out soon though and share with the group! I think that you can customize what your audience is like you can with Adsense. Downside is if you get super specific, you don't drive as much traffic for the price. I still think less is more though, because in theory you are making sure they are only showing to your ideal audience.
