Just a dude that's never had a real job... Viral marketing. Storytelling. Ecom. Popcorn lover.

@brianwaterstone That would be a beautiful world. Unfortunately consumers love the idea of “free” which usually comes with advertising as the monetization method. Upfront payment adds a barrier that a lot of people just can’t get past… I wish it were different 🥴

Opened 36 packs of Pokémon cards today… 10 year old me would be losing my mind 🤣

Lambos and Rollies are cool… but nothin beats the G-Shock Honda vibe 🙌

Good videos aren’t made with a $5k camera and a $1k mic.

They’re made from great storytelling, a unique topic, and personality.

Work on those before you drop thousands on gear.

If you don’t get the tingles and get “moved” when you hear a great song or relate to some lyrics… you’re missing out.

[Stevie Sells @imsteviesells]

There’s no way around it. You gotta put the hours in. Get really good at something… and no AI can’t do it for you.. yet.

@mtvmald lol thank you!

[Stevie Sells @imsteviesells]

Don’t overthink your name and logo. I made my first sales within a week with this carrot wearing a watch 😂

If you want to come up with more creative ideas, here’s my number one tip.

Take time out of your day to intentionally be bored. Literally just sit there and stare at a wall or something and see where your mind takes you.

[Stevie Sells @imsteviesells]

So much of success is just having more patience and staying consistent.

Do you guys think eventually Amazon will put eBay completely out of biz? Or will they just compete in different spaces?

[Stevie Sells @imsteviesells]

The best content ideas usually come from living life and making unlikely connections in the real world.

It’s very hard to sit in an office all day and be inspired to make a video that’s unique and a lot of people will find interest in.

Go outside, talk to people, be present.

@GooNeeGooHoo Sure can you Dm me?

This is a first edition Charizard I owned about 5 years ago. I sold it for $1500 and bought a patio set 🤣. Look what it sold for in 2020 🤢.

[Stevie Sells @imsteviesells]

I play the same riff on guitar for hours sometimes.

I think doing something kinda mindless but takes a little bit of concentration allows your mind to open a different door.

This is where a lot of ideas are born for me.

Anyone else do something like this?

[Stevie Sells @imsteviesells]

I guess my question is… who’s using this content successfully for ads? I want proof 🤣. I’m not seeing it.

Not saying it won’t get substantially better over time… it will.

But people act like it’s already at a point where it can create high converting content with a click…

[Stevie Sells @imsteviesells]

So I’ve been testing a few “AI generated ad” tools and let me just say…

The copy AI can write is OK at best… it lacks feeling, there’s no depth. It’s just empty.

The creatives (photos/vids) that I’ve had AI generate are HORRID. 6th grade PowerPoint level stuff 🤣.
