Before we get started, I’m going to do some domain flipping and create videos about what I learn. I’m going to create a YouTube series on it titled something like “turning $100 into $1,000 by flipping domain names.”

If you have ideas or things you’d like to learn, let me know!

Ok, on to my project updates…

I just tested out an image to video creator by Luma Labs.

I uploaded this image of me on Google’s wall like 15 years ago (I’m not sure this would fly today - no clue).

It made a pretty cool short video clip of the image (I’ll share more on YouTube soon…)

I can see us using this for fun with our local brand for fun short clips from images around our city.

Another is Leonardo.

The last time I looked at Leonardo, it was just ok.

But fast forward a few months, and it’s gotten crazy good.

I actually canceled my ChatGPT paid account for the time being (as they mentioned giving out ChatGPT 4o for free).

It looks like Leonardo AI can easily help fill in the gaps for image creation.

I’ve used it this past week for images I needed and it’s been great.

My ad account was restricted, and I still don’t have it back.

I created a new ad account and am still having issues with ads getting rejected.

Facebook is clearly very sensitive to ads that have to do with money.

I need to find other pages in my niche running ads and see how they do it.

Here’s the new Facebook page.

We were growing at $.16 per like (way too high).

I need to be at less than $.10

I’ll update you soon.

PS - if this has happened to you before, let me know what I should do!

I’ll give you an update and share a new thing I’m learning in each email.

An overview of the program is here and my first update ever is here.

I’ve now created 96 videos.

I’ve hired freelancers to make 30 videos.

My total earnings equal $625.11

When you factor in my expenses for video creation, I’m now at $11.68 per hour.

(if I had done all these videos myself, I’d be at $27/hr for my time).

I’ll keep you posted 😉

The Story: When I work, I often listen to LoFi hip hop or Chillstep or Ambient tunes that help me focus. I launched my own channel with the idea that I would listen to my own channel and be my own best customer.

Update: We signed up for a month of Suno and created 100+ songs that we’re going to generate videos from.

I created a template using Descript that allows for quicker song creation.

I made a vid showing my process if you’d like to check it out…

I’ll keep you guys posted on growth.
