Hi everyone,
Des here from the UK, and I really appreciate the warm welcome.
Who I am: 51-year-old former marketing exec who monetised a small YouTube channel (The Electric Oracle) in under 4 weeks. Now I help 40+ professionals build sustainable revenue through content and community, without the toxic hustle.
What excites me about AI: I'm deep in the Claude/ChatGPT ecosystem for content creation and client deliverables. The efficiency gains are staggering - I run my entire coaching business in 15-20 hours/week.
My bottleneck: I'm scaling two communities simultaneously - The Content Revenue Lab (200+ members, free Skool focused on YouTube monetisation) and working on premium offerings.
The challenge is balancing authentic engagement across platforms while maintaining the "anti-guru" positioning that resonates with my time-strapped audience.
Looking forward to learning from the group and sharing what's working in the small channel monetisation space.
