Today marks deal #50 for Bellvines!

Been working on BV very quietly this last year but here are some cool facts:
- Paid out ~$100k to creators in under a year 💸
- On average helped creators increase their brand rates by 50-60% 🔋
- We're just getting started 🔥

@Kaijuklutz SO proud of you! Now sit back and watch them orders start to show up ON schedule, you deserve it🍻

LPT: give people a throw when they're in your living room. Everyone loves being handed a throw

As usual, the right answer is probably some balance of both.

Tweeting from my experience literally as I go thru them and learn. I may very well be wrong here, who knows?

I've been a founder for 5 years, and a CEO for 0.

Why I need to change that 👇

[hamza fasih @CuriousHamza]

The hard truth is, once you've built something, the founders skillset becomes increasingly out-dated.

It's like using the same studying techniques that worked in high-school, thru college.

It might work, but (for most) it probably won't.

It's a minor change but it seems pretty interesting to me.

Also curious why I haven't seen much about this🤔

Any creators start experimenting with this yet?

YouTube is rolling out a new feature -- bold, italics, and strikethrough text for video descriptions!

Here's why that's cooler than it sounds:

Anything that creates a better viewing experience for viewers, and creating experience for creators is worth celebrating 🔥

@Johnny2Cellos so happy for you John🥂

Trap is, eventually you'll blow way past where you were "recently at", and if you're not careful - you won't notice.

And if you're REALLY not careful, someone is going to scoop up a great deal on your hard work 👀

The "recovering starving artist" is a common trap for creators and entrepreneurs 💭

[hamza fasih @CuriousHamza]

This applies to pretty much anything you used to be a novice at. Job salary, product pricing, brand deals, etc.

Comparing what you're getting to where you were recently at.
