Hello all,
Happy to share my first post here, while I am still reading "Unscripted ." I read the "Millionaire Fastlane " a few months back and wanted to hear more of what MJ has to say. Have a little story that might be relatable:
One of my main streams of income has been coming from a skateboarding Facebook page. I create videos featuring skaters from instagram that give me permission to use their clips. The page has grown quite a bit over the past year and has reached over 1 million views per day at some points. These videos have ad breaks in them similar to YouTube which is how they generate revenue. Anyways, after this page having its best month of about $8,000 in October, Facebook decided to turn off the monetization features. My videos still get the same amount of views, or more, but the revenue is gone.
Reading "Unscripted" reminded me of CONTROL, as I obviously don't have the control in this situation. I was expecting this to happen at some point since Facebook shuts down everything I do, but it's a good reminder not to hitchhike. I'm brainstorming ways to leverage the following on this page to help the skateboarding community in some way, but after losing the revenue it almost doesn't seem worth it. If anyone has ideas or wants to help I'm very open; if I don't come up with anything soon I'll probably just let the page slowly die and continue working on everything else.
Looking forward to reading more about the other people's journeys on here
