Self-improvement is flawed and it’ll only hold you back.

Now that’s a statement, am I right?

Before we delve deeper, let’s first look at the exact meaning of “self-improvement”, just so we’re on the same page.

Self-improvement is “the improvement of one’s knowledge, status, or character by one’s own efforts.”

Let me repeat that last part once more—by one’s own efforts. That’s where the issue lies.

Let me share a story to clarify what I mean.

Ever since I remember I used to be an avid gamer. From when my parents first gave me a PlayStation 2 as a child (somewhere around the ages of 8 to 10) to when I “grew up” and became old enough to get into the PC master race.

Gaming was my life back in the day. And I was competitive. It didn’t matter whether I was playing Call of Duty, League of Legends, or Overwatch. I exclusively played competitive multiplayer games where I could show my skills and was rewarded for the hours I spent practicing and mastering every aspect of the game.

I used to have this dream of becoming a professional esports player—as many gamers probably once had.

I used to spend almost all of my waking hours grinding away at the game. Improving my skills bit by bit. Ranking up as high as I could. Trying to discover all the tips & tricks, mastering new mechanics as I discovered them, and coming up with competitive strategies to give me any advantage I could get.

But I used to do it all on my own. And that got me only so far. I didn’t have a dedicated team to practice with. Nobody to push me forward. Nobody to bounce ideas off and come up with new and exciting strategies.

I became a very good player. Coming closer and closer to the highest spots on the leaderboard. But I never became a pro. There seemed to be this invisible barrier I just could not cross, no matter how hard I tried.

That is, until I found myself a team to play with. A tribe to work together and reach new heights. I suddenly found myself in the middle of an engaged and dedicated group of like-minded individuals.

I eventually gave up gaming and focused on achieving different goals in life. But that final period of my ‘gaming career’ is when I saw the most improvement in both my skill and my rank—and it wasn’t even close.

This is to say that yes, as it stands. Self-improvement alone won’t cut it. You can’t reach the highest of highs “by one’s own efforts”.

You need a group of like-minded individuals to grow together with. To help keep each other accountable. To discuss ideas with and keep improving at rates you couldn’t imagine possible. You need a community.

And luckily for you, Content Kitchen offers you just that—alongside hours of valuable content and personalized coaching.

So if you’re looking for a way to launch, grow, monetize, and improve your creator business. Then click the link here and save your spot today before the doors close in less than 18 hours: https://alexvandromme–contentkitchen.thrivecart.com/content-kitchen

PS: I’m also giving you an incredible set of bonuses if you sign up through my link.

That’s because I want to guarantee it’s worth your $499 even if you don’t go through a single course the cohort is offering you, even if you don’t utilize the 1:1 mentorships the coaches are offering you, hell even if you don’t take a single glance at the community inside the cohort.

And so I’m offering you four FREE and yet SUPER-valuable bonuses if you enroll through my link. Bonuses which I’ve never sold before and also won’t ever sell on their own.

Specifically, I’m offering:

1. Getting Inbound Clients (as a new creator) ($99 value)

   This is a document I prepared for a recent consulting client of mine. Here I show you the necessary fundamentals to build a brand that automatically attracts prospects to you.

   I’ll dive deeper into methods and frameworks you need to maximize the results you get out of the content you create, so you can get paid without doing any outreach.

   My consulting clients pay upwards of $200+ per hour and I’ve never had a client who wasn’t 110% satisfied with the value they’ve got out of it.

2. The First Steps (of a one-person business) ($97 value)

   This is a general overview & roadmap I go through with many of my consulting clients. It teaches you all the basic fundamentals you need to get right to build & scale your creator business.

   Ranging from how to establish authority, to generating an income, and a fast track to acquiring knowledge so you keep growing for years and years to come.

3. Writing For Attention ($97 value)

   This is a new resource I created for one of my most recent consulting clients. It’s all about the rules of attention-grabbing writing.

   I dive deep into the psychology of what grabs attention, what keeps attention, and what creates engagement.

   You’ll learn the big picture overview of how to write so that people will want to keep reading as well as tips & tricks to craft the perfect hook every single time.

4. A personalized Audit (worth at least my hourly consulting rate of $249)

   And to not leave you stranded on your own I’ve decided to at this one-time offer (I’ve literally never done this before) where I’ll personally audit your creator business.

   I’ll take a look at your Twitter profile, your current offer, and even one of your latest sales emails and give you constructive feedback on all of those to help you grow faster, get more clients, and earn more money.

   If you don’t yet send sales emails or don’t have an offer yet, no worries. I’ll help you come up with an offer that suits you so you can start monetizing as soon as possible.

So there you go. If you want to enroll in the Content Kitchen cohort with a value of $5,341, that’s yours for just $499…

… or if you want my add-on bonuses that are worth a combined $542, which you can get for free…

… then here’s what to do:

1. Join the Content Kitchen cohort at https://alexvandromme–contentkitchen.thrivecart.com/content-kitchen/

2. Reply to this email with proof that you’ve joined the cohort through my link (receipt, welcome email, confirmation message,…)

3. And I’ll get back to you with all of my bonuses worth at least $542

Important:

Enrollment for the cohort is live now and will only stay up for 5 days. That’s until Saturday, October 7th, 2:59 am EDT/ 8:59 am CEST / 5:59 pm AEDT.

That’s how long you’ll have to join both the cohort and get my bonuses. Both your purchase AND your reply to my emails have to come before Saturday at 8:59 am CEST.

So if you know you want them, why not get them now and save yourself the uncomfortable “I was too late” message asking if you can still get the bonuses—which I’ll say no to.

Once again, you can join the cohort here: https://alexvandromme–contentkitchen.thrivecart.com/content-kitchen/

I’ve written 6 emails about different reasons you should join the Content Kitchen cohort.

But I thought it was about time I changed it up.

So here are 15 reasons why you SHOULDN’T join the Content Kitchen cohort.

1) You can’t stick to a 6-week program

This one should be obvious. The Content Kitchen is a 6-week program. You’ll get access to an active community, with daily challenges and accountability.

You’ll get a whole bunch of courses to go through, and you’ll get access to 3 incredible coaches on standby to help you out every step of the way—which on its own is already worth the price.

So if you are the type of person to start something and then stop after a few 10 days, this obviously isn’t for you and you’ll just be wasting your money.

2) You like to take things slow

As I’ve said. It’s a 6-week program. And while you’ll get to go through everything at your own pace. You won’t be getting the value you should be if it takes you 12 months to go through the materials.

It’d be a waste not to make use of the personal attention you’re getting from the coaches.

3) You think sales is a scam

Look, honestly I see this way too much. For some reason people tend to have this idea that sales is immoral, unethical, and even inhuman.

If you share this idea then not only is the cohort not for you, but I wouldn’t even know why you’re on my email list.

If you can’t see how you’re able to improve the lives of other people buy helping them out and making them aware of the right products/services that’ll solve their problems, then there’s nothing more I have to say to you.

4) You believe information should be free

This one is similar.

Look I get it. Yes, you can find all of the information out there for free scattered around on the internet.

But here’s the thing, it’ll take you years to find, test, and learn everything you need. Not to mention the amount of effort you’ll have to put in to find and connect all the pieces of the puzzle.

If you don’t see how that much time wasted is costing you thousands if not millions, then the cohort simply isn’t for you—and this whole career path probably isn’t either.

5) You’re a solo player

Imma be honest. You can’t be a solo player in this business.

You can be an introvert, sure. Many people here are introverts to be honest. But you need to make friends, engage with others, network, and level up together.

There’s simply no other way about it. Don’t hate the player, hate the game.

It also won’t help you that Audrey, a professional community builder, will teach you exactly how to build an active and engaging community inside the Content Kitchen.

6) You believe that if things look too good to be true, they usually are

I get this one. I used to be the same.

But this is coming from a scarcity mindset. This is how you stay poor. You think nothing can be THAT good, so it has to be a scam.

Look, the world is changing. There are so many opportunities out there, opportunities you can’t even begin to comprehend. There’s so much many to be made, so easily. All you have to do is open your eyes.

I can’t help you with this one. It’s a hurdle you have to overcome on your own.

7) You think the world is against you

The classic victim mentality. “Oh no this doesn’t work for me because xyz”.

No, get it together. The world doesn’t care about you. It doesn’t care whether or not you succeed. The universe is indifferent. If things don’t work out for you, that’s nobody’s fault except your own.

And if you can’t accept that, then this offer isn’t for you—and neither is any other offer. Because you’ll complain about the algorithm, the mentors, the state of the world, the position of the sun, or whether the McDonald’s Ice cream machine is working.

8) You’re looking to learn growth hacks

That’s not what this offer is. It’s not a “get rich quick scheme”, neither is it a “get 10K followers in a month” service.

It’s a cohort teaching you all the skill you need to build your own successful creator business. A legit business. One that’s able to improve the lives of others. One that’s actually valuable and makes in impact in people’s lives.

Not a glorified meme account.

9) You want plug-and-play templates to follow

Look, at the end of the day. It’ll be up to your creativity to use the lessons you learned and transform them into something unique and worthwhile.

Something that’ll help make the world a better place.

We’re looking to make extraordinary results. Not to click some buttons once, make some money, and be money.

And that requires you to think for yourself. To create for yourself. And not to blindly follow what other people tell you to do.

So there are no plug-and-play templates for you to follow.

10) You need hand-holding to get work done

Similar to the one above, but different.

Yes, you will get personalized help. Yes, you will be able to ask questions and get live feedback on what you’re doing.

But at the end of the day, it’s up to you to put in the work. It’s up to you to make this work. Nobody will take your business and make it a reality.

The only thing other people can do for you is to teach you what you need to know and inspire you to act. But then it’s up to you to act.

11) You just want to copy-paste someone else’s stuff

Once again.

There’s no templates, no copy-paste, no plug-and-play, and no copying someone else’s homework.

Not only is it unethical and a dirty way to play, but reality will also come back to haunt you because in the end, it just doesn’t work.

If you thought it’d be easy to look at what someone else is doing to make money and just copy-paste their strategy entirely, then I’ve got bad news for you.

And you shouldn’t buy this offer.

12) You don’t want to make a difference

I’m not talking about solving world hunger or curing cancer. I’m talking about impacting people’s lives for the better.

If you’re just in it to make a quick buck, get yourself a nice house, a cool car, and be able to go on vacation 10 times a year, without any regard for how you make your money or no desire to actually help other people.

If you so much as thought about selling a bullshit course to people because you’ve heard from some guy that it’s cool and easy to scam people.

Then leave. Just leave.

13) You like scrolling for hours on TikTok

Nothing much to say here.

You just won’t make it.

14) You hate writing

I won’t lie to you.

You’ll need to write—A LOT.

Writing is the name of the game. Whether you want to grow on Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, or Spotify, hell even if you just want to build an e-commerce store.

Without good quality writing, nothing will succeed. You need to learn the basics of how to get people’s attention, agitate their pains, and make them interested in your solutions.

You’ll have to write a lot and often.

If that doesn’t suit you, then you’re in the wrong place.

15) You think $499 is expensive

Oh boy.

I don’t even know where to start with this one.

You’re probably just not ready if you think this. You haven’t got the slightest clue about how much life-changing opportunities cost.

I’ve bought books that were the same price as this offer.

They could’ve priced this cohort at $2,499 and it would still be underpriced for the value you can get out of it.

Think about what your life could look like after this cohort. Think about the freedom you have to work when you want to , where you want to, with whom you want to, and on what you want to.

Think about much money you could earn. You could earn someone’s monthly wage in 24 hours if you keep this up and build your own creator business.

Now if you think about all this, and still think $499 is expensive. Then honestly I have no idea what to say to you.

And I highly suggest you don’t even consider rethinking your opinion and just forget all about this cohort for good.

Because it won’t do you any good if you can’t understand all the good it’ll do for you.

If none of those 15 points apply to you, however. Then it means this is the perfect opportunity for you.

One of the questions I get asked the most on Twitter is “What should I be doing?”

And I get it. There’s just so much to cover when you first start out wanting to build your creator business.

You need to think about content creation, networking, audience building, monetization, attention-grabbing writing, idea generation, storytelling, outreach, sales calls, closing clients, funnel creation, personal philosophy, your target market, offer creation, and so so so much more.

It’s overwhelming. It's even scary to get started.

There’s so much to cover but little time to learn everything. You’re easily lost, wandering without direction. Or worse, you think you have an idea of what you’re doing, but you’re actually heading in the wrong direction. How would you know?

See, how most people learn everything is through sheer trial & error. Which might take you months or even years just to get the fundamentals down.

But there are solutions to your problem. Specifically getting help from people ahead of you. People who’ve gone down the road you want to go down.

They’ll be able to steer you in the right direction, avoid the common pitfalls, and help you shave off months, if not years, of the time required to build your business.

They’ll show you how to build authority, how to close your first clients, how to create & sell your first products, how to grow you accounts, and how to come up with endless ideas to talk about so you’ll always have high-performing content to grow & monetize your business with for years to come.

So. I ask you now.

What would you rather do?

Try to figure out everything on your own and potentially waste 10 months and miss out on thousands of dollars you could’ve earned. Or get help from people who’ve gone down that same road before you and have your business up and running in the next 6 weeks?

If you’re anything like me, which I know you are since you’re on my email list, you’ll make the informed choice and choose the latter.

In that case, check out the Content Kitchen cohort here, because that’s exactly what they’ll help you do: https://alexvandromme–contentkitchen.thrivecart.com/content-kitchen

PS: I’m also giving you an incredible set of bonuses if you sign up through my link.

Surprise!

Here I am, yet again, with another email today.

It’s a promotion week. What did you expect me to do?

Behave myself and nicely stick to my schedule of sending 1 email a day? Hahaha no. No I won’t. And for a couple of reasons actually.

First. I actually like writing and sending these emails. I originally started writing emails somewhere back in February. And at that time I was still writing 1 email every 7 days because Dan Koe always said, “start a weekly newsletter you dumbass.” That might have been me paraphrasing, but still.

I eventually discovered how much I enjoyed writing these emails. So after a few months, I switched things around and started sending daily emails. (+ my Sunday email that still gets posted online, but that’s a story for another time.)

So I enjoy writing emails and switched to daily, so what? Well, if I enjoy writing emails, why would I limit myself to just 1 a day?

“But Alex, aren’t you afraid you’ll piss off your readers?”

No. No I don’t. If you don’t like my emails and don’t want them in your inbox then you can unsubscribe at any time. (seriously, unsubscribe. I’ll be sending you 5 emails tomorrow.)

It doesn’t bother me at all. I know the real ones out there stay and read them regardless. Whether that’s immediate or with a few hours/days’ delay.

Second reason: This is amazing practice for me. Yes, I have my own products. And those sell fine. But that’s because I know exactly what they’re all about, how they function, and what marketing angles work best to my target audience (that’s you).

So switching it up once in a while with a different offer, especially one that’s limited in time, is wonderful practice for me. I get to think about what I need to share about the offer, which pain points to hit, which benefits to mention, what objections people will likely have, and how to handle them.

See, it’s not so much the writing that actually matters.

No no far from it.

It’s the thinking before the writing that actually matters. The questions you ask yourself about what the best method is to sell something.

Copywriting is 80% thinking, 20% writing.

Thirdly, the more emails I send, the more money I make. It’s that simple, actually. There’s not a single way in which I send more emails, but make less money.

Also let’s be honest here. You’re on my email list because I’m trying to sell you something. I know it, you know it, everyone knows it.

And that’s a good thing. That’s my duty in life. To sell you as much as I possibly can.

Not because I’m a greedy bastard. But because I genuinely believe that what I offer can and will change your life for the better. So I owe it to myself, to you, and to the world to do everything in my power to sell you as much as I possibly can—given that what I’m selling will actually improve your life for the better.

That’s also why I agreed to affiliating for the Content Kitchen cohort.

Because I know it will change your life for the better.

How do I know?

I know because I’ve seen what the founders have accomplished. I’ve seen what they teach. And I’ve personally experienced how those skills can improve your life for the better.

Only, I didn’t have this opportunity back when I got started. I had to figure out everything on my own—for the most part. It took me 8 months to get to where I am today.

But an opportunity such as this could have easily saved me 6 of those 8 months.

And tell me. If I could promise you an opportunity. In which you’d be able to learn the skills required to build your business. And start earning $249 per hour consulting. Or earn $1,000 per month per coaching clients. Or earn $100 a day selling digital products (even while sleeping!) Or all of them combined if you want to.

How much would you say that’s worth?

$10,000? $50,000? $836,578?? $2,120,459.45???

Got a number? Great.

Now compare that to the measly $499 you’ll have to invest for your spot in the Content Kitchen cohort. Trust me, it’s worth it.

Dan Koe has been an enormous influence in both my life and business—which are connected, after all. How I build my business determines how I live my life. The one determines the other.

That’s probably something Dan would agree with.

One of the biggest parts—influenced by Dan—of how I build my business is my conviction of embracing all my various interests and pursuing my curiosity, no matter where it leads.

Ever since I was young, I’ve always been fascinated and interested in lots of stuff. And that’s true for most people, at least most children. As people get older, they often lose that curiosity, they lose that ‘spark’. And for me, that spark was still there, but it wasn’t as big as it used to be. Dan helped me reignite the big flames and allowed me to once again pursue my curiosities as I did when I was a child.

And that’s a cheat code when it comes to business. To learn many different topics—and to combine them to build something unique & worthwhile.

This really goes for every interest, I promise you.

You can literally take your biggest passion, your favorite obsession, no matter how obscure it is, build a business around it, and monetize it.

I don’t care if it’s poetry, surfing, meditation, spirituality, ChatGPT prompting, Dungeons & Dragons, reading, fitness, bowling, or Mongolian throat singing.

You can earn a living with every single one of those.

“But Alex, I can’t possibly monetize xyz interest I have. Nobody cares about it.”

Wrong.

The fact you’re interested in it proves there’s something special about it. Something useful. Whether you’re consciously aware of it or not. If it wasn’t interesting/useful/enjoyable/or anything worthwhile to spend your time on, then you wouldn’t be spending your time on it either.

You’re not that special. We’re all human beings. Deep down, we’re all wired the same.

The only thing you need to do is to explain to other people why your chosen interest is so exciting. How it’s improving your life (which it always is). What it allows you to do. And to make them understand the importance of your interest. To show them the missing pieces in their life.

This is where we get to one of Dan Koe’s most quoted lines: “Do what you love but study psychology, marketing, and sales so you don’t become a starving artist.”

Because that’s essentially what it’s all about. Take the interest/topic you love and combine it with evergreen skills such as psychology, marketing, sales, (copy)writing, graphic design, and community building.

And that’s exactly what the Content Kitchen cohort focuses on:

Teaching you all the evergreen skills you need so you can become your very own creator. The sculpture of his own life. You choose what kind of business you want to build. You decide what to offer & how to dedicate your time.

No more fixed roadmaps showing you how to become a growth coach, because that’s the only thing most cohorts know how to teach you.

No.

Content Kitchen gives you the foundations you need to make it in the game of both business and life.

Because as Alan Watts would say (another way Dan influenced me):

“Sensible people get paid for doing what they enjoy doing.”

So if you want to get paid doing something you love, then don’t wait a second longer and save your spot in the Content Kitchen cohort here: https://alexvandromme–contentkitchen.thrivecart.com/content-kitchen/

I’m also giving you an incredible set of bonuses if you sign up through my link.

That’s because I want to guarantee it’s worth your $499 even if you don’t go through a single course the cohort is offering you, even if you don’t utilize the 1:1 mentorships the coaches are offering you, hell even if you don’t take a single glance at the community inside the cohort.

And so I’m offering you four FREE and yet SUPER-valuable bonuses if you enroll through my link. Bonuses which I’ve never sold before and also won’t ever sell on their own.

Specifically, I’m offering:

1. Getting Inbound Clients (as a new creator) ($99 value)

   This is a document I prepared for a recent consulting client of mine. Here I show you the necessary fundamentals to build a brand that automatically attracts prospects to you.

   I’ll dive deeper into methods and frameworks you need to maximize the results you get out of the content you create, so you can get paid without doing any outreach.

   My consulting clients pay upwards of $200+ per hour and I’ve never had a client who wasn’t 110% satisfied with the value they’ve got out of it.

2. The First Steps (of a one-person business) ($97 value)

   This is a general overview & roadmap I go through with many of my consulting clients. It teaches you all the basic fundamentals you need to get right to build & scale your creator business.

   Ranging from how to establish authority, to generating an income, and a fast track to acquiring knowledge so you keep growing for years and years to come.

3. Writing For Attention ($97 value)

   This is a new resource I created for one of my most recent consulting clients. It’s all about the rules of attention-grabbing writing.

   I dive deep into the psychology of what grabs attention, what keeps attention, and what creates engagement.

   You’ll learn the big picture overview of how to write so that people will want to keep reading as well as tips & tricks to craft the perfect hook every single time.

4. A personalized Audit (worth at least my hourly consulting rate of $249)

   And to not leave you stranded on your own I’ve decided to at this one-time offer (I’ve literally never done this before) where I’ll personally audit your creator business.

   I’ll take a look at your Twitter profile, your current offer, and even one of your latest sales emails and give you constructive feedback on all of those to help you grow faster, get more clients, and earn more money.

   If you don’t yet send sales emails or don’t have an offer yet, no worries. I’ll help you come up with an offer that suits you so you can start monetizing as soon as possible.

Ever since I first started my Twitter journey back in January, I’ve been heavily investing in myself. I’ve spent over $5,000 on all kinds of different investments, ranging from simple books to software, courses, communities, and cohorts.

And all of those investments helped me out along the road, in one way or another. They didn’t always get me the results I hoped for. But they helped me out, nonetheless.

One of the important things I came to learn is to be really careful when considering cohorts. I’ve learned early on that a lot of those are quick cash grabs, that repeat the same boring & worthless advice that everyone else gives, and it’s often nothing more than a glorified $80 course in an $800 jacket.

But they aren’t all like that. I’ve seen cohorts that do a terrific job and actually offer a unique & valuable experience.

So I came to realize the importance of knowing how to differentiate the shit ones from the exceptional ones—and how you can know that Content Kitchen is one of the exceptional ones.

See, most cohorts will tell you they’re going to help you grow your account at incredible speeds. What they won’t tell you is that they’ll ONLY focus on growth—and not even true authentic growth.

They’ll teach you how to build an account founded on platitudes, generic giveaways, and engagement farming. You’ll end up with a bunch of empty and useless followers which does nothing except boost your ego so you can flex to your friends who have no clue as to how social media monetization works.

But not Content Kitchen. No, you won’t see a single “how to go viral” course or “how to get your first 1,000 followers in 30 days”.

Instead, they’ll teach you the fundamental skills you need to build a true online business. No matter what, where, or when you decide to build. They’ll teach you evergreen skills like writing, sales, branding, storytelling, productivity, graphic design, community building, and more. So you can become a true full-stack digital creator and build a legit business the way you want to.

Most cohorts will tell you how they get all of their clients amazing results. They’ll flood you with testimonials, case studies, previous clients’ results, and whatever social proof you need to believe that claim and enter your credit card details.

But what they won’t tell you is that the most incredible case studies had nothing to do with the cohort itself.

They might have been in the cohort at that time, but the result they got came because of the personal coaching they were getting at the same time. Almost all of those ‘super positive’ testimonials will be from prior participants who got forced to write a testimonial. I know of some cohorts that require you to submit a positive testimonial before you get access to the content & community inside the cohort, yes seriously.

And that’s not even to mention those incredible case studies you see. Those come from the top 1%–5% of participants who got lucky & successful, while 80% of the participants never see any results, except a big hole in hole in their wallet.

But Content Kitchen on the other hand, they won’t show you tons of faked and inflated testimonials or client results—they don’t have to. The mentors, they’re the real deal after all.

William made $2,600+ in just a few months while ghostwriting for clients. Duck made $1,500+ in his first 30 days of joining Twitter doing graphic design. And Audrey, oh boy, she created a $35,000+ Esports community FROM SCRATCH, with professional teams, sponsors, and amazing activity & engagement.

And here’s one more, just because I’m in the flow writing this.

Most cohorts don’t offer any type of guarantee. They’ll tell you, “We don’t want people who need guarantees, you need to be willing to put in the work to get results.” What they don’t tell you is that they don’t offer you a guarantee because they know 80% of the people who enter will never get results.

But not Cohort Kitchen, no. They offer you a 100% full money-back guarantee in case you’re not satisfied with the cohort after the 6 weeks are over.

Not even an effort-based or target-based guarantee. Literally, if you’re not satisfied, if you don’t think it was worth your money, you’re free to ask for a FULL refund and you’ll get it. No hassle, no nothing.

You’ll even get to keep all the content and resources you received during the cohort. That’s because they KNOW it works. For everyone. They’ve tested it before countless times.

Now, there are only a good 2 days left to register. So secure your spot here: https://alexvandromme–contentkitchen.thrivecart.com/content-kitchen/

A few days ago I bought something I probably shouldn’t have.

I’ve been a fan of Ben Settle’s daily emails for a while now.

For those who don’t know who Ben Settle is, look him up. He’s a long-time email marketer (14+ years) and runs his own publishing business. He sells books for insane prices easily $500 or more—which he sells a crap ton of.

But his main offer is his Email Players physical print newsletter. Yeah, you read that right. In today’s age, where everything is digital. He’s still printing a physical newsletter every single month and shipping it across the globe.

That physical print newsletter costs $97 a month. But here’s the thing. You can unsubscribe whenever you want, no problem. However, if you do, he’ll blacklist you and you’ll never again be able to subscribe to the newsletter.

Now, regardless of what you think about the rule. It means that you have to be damn sure about when you subscribe to his physical newsletter. If you’re not able to pay for a month, then that’s it. No more newsletters for you. Ever.

So that’s exactly what I did.

I joined his Email Players newsletter and now have an extra $97/month subscription to pay. (And likely more because I’ll have to pay import costs on top)

And I’ve just recently spent a lot of my money on new learning/investment opportunities—as I have a rule of spending at least 80% of what I earn.

So needless to say, this is one crazy and foolish decision. Which literally every so-called “financial advisor” would advise against.

But here’s the thing. This will actually help me make more money in 2 different ways:

1. The information I’ll get from the Email Players newsletter itself will be so valuable to me that it’ll easily allow me to increase my earning capacity. And probably pay for the subscription itself—as long as I put in the work myself.

2. And this is the important one that many people forget: The mere fact that I’m spending money that I shouldn’t be spending forces me to take action and learn how to earn more.

   I’m a big believer in the philosophy that simply forcing yourself into a situation where you’ll have to level up your game (in this case, earn more money) will help you tremendously.

   I simply don’t have any other choice. I have to get this done. What will I do instead? Sit around, do nothing, and ruin my life? No, of course not.

   I believe in my ability to level up, put in the work, make more money, and live a better life. I also know I’m a procrastinator, something that doesn’t work to my advantage. But do you know what the ultimate solution for procrastinators is?

   Deadlines.

   Especially real ones. The ones that impact the quality of your life and not just the ones you artificially create in your mind where nothing bad truly happens if you don’t make them. No, I’m talking about real deadlines. Payments coming up, money running out, you not being able to get food on your table, or having to worry about paying rent.

   You might think this is crazy and especially foolish—which it is. But once again, I believe in myself. I know I can do this. The money is never truly a problem. It’s whether or not I put in the work that’s holding me back.

So if you want to achieve something in life. If you believe in yourself. If you truly believe. Then it’s your own duty to invest in yourself. To put in the work and make your dreams come true.

No matter if a so-called financial advisor would say it’s “wise” to make that purchase.

And there’s currently no better investment than the 42-day Content Kitchen cohort with its 6 masterclasses, 45 courses, 6 workshops, 6 guest speakers, 9 bonus resources, 6-week action plan, daily checkups & challenges, 1:1 coaching from 3 mentors who’ve all successfully monetized their Twitter with tremendous speed, and a legendary community to help you along and keep you accountable so you’ll reach all of your deadlines and all of your goals.

The total value of everything listed above is $5,341. But you’ll get it for only $499.

Don’t wait a second longer and save your spot in the kitchen here: https://alexvandromme–contentkitchen.thrivecart.com/content-kitchen/

Still not convinced?

No problem, let me make it even more attractive to you:

I want to guarantee it’s worth your $499 even if you don’t go through a single course the cohort is offering you, even if you don’t utilize the 1:1 mentorships the coaches are offering you, hell even if you don’t take a single glance at the community inside the cohort.

I’ve been cooking up a deal for you. A SUPER deal. In fact, a gourmet-level SUPER deal.

A few days ago, I got a DM from Audrey Lo on Twitter. (Yes I still call it Twitter, deal with it)

She told me about how she and two Twitter friends are launching their brand-new cohort Content Kitchen and whether or not I wanted to help with the promotion.

First, let me admit that I think this is fantastic timing. I’ve actually been thinking about creating a cohort of my own with 2 friends of mine. But I haven’t executed on that plan yet, so kudos to them.

I love their positioning as well. It’s not another “growth cohort” where they teach you a bunch of specific trending tactics to “hack” the algorithm and get a huge bunch of followers really quickly, without knowing what to do with them—except become a growth coach.

No, as Audrey told me herself:

===

We're equipping creators with the skills they need to build [a business] online.

We're not just "selling growth." Instead, we're instilling evergreen skills in the next generation of creators using our own expertise, ranging from writing to graphic design and community building.

===

As I’ve known Audrey for quite a while on Twitter now (and we’ve just recently hopped on a call as well) I was happy to help and said “Sure“.

So that’s what I’m doing today. I’m promoting to you the brand new Content Kitchen cohort.

The Content Kitchen Cohort includes 6 courses, 45 modules, 6 workshops, 9 bonus courses, 6 guest speakers, a 6-week roadmap, daily checkups + challenges, 1:1 mentorship from Audrey Lo, Duck Quang, and William Nguyen, ALL of their individual paid products, and of course, a legendary community filled with like-minded individuals alongside it.

I’ve seen people price cohorts like these at $1,299 in the past. Hell I’ve even seen mere communities priced at $600 without any of the other added benefits. So while I have no idea what this cohort is worth, I know it’s A LOT.

But the actual price it’s selling for this week is not $1,299… not $899… not even $599… but just $499 for the full 6 weeks.

Now, I’ll be honest with you:

Aside from Audrey Lo (someone I’ve met personally and seen dominate on my timeline from day 1 when she had just a few followers to almost 2,000 in a matter of 3 months), I don’t know the other 2 creators.

I’ve seen their faces a few times on my timeline, but I haven’t really paid any attention to their content, much less interacted with them 1-on-1.

They both are probably wonderful people, I’m sure of it. If anything all 3 of them know what they’re doing. Audrey scaled her own esports organization from $0 to $35K just 2 years back, William built a following of 2,700 followers and earned $2,6k in just under 5 months, and Duck made over $1,000 on Twitter in just under 3 months because of his background working in sales.

Still, I realize you might think this is a weak sales pitch, and I can’t disagree with that. So let me get to the meat of this email:

If you decide to enroll in the Content Kitchen cohort, I want to guarantee it’s worth your $499 even if you don’t go through a single course the cohort is offering you, even if you don’t utilize the 1:1 mentorships the coaches are offering you, hell even if you don’t take a single glance at the community inside the cohort.

We live in the digital age. The internet has given us so many new opportunities. Everyone can start their own business for free from home. There’s nothing holding you back anymore.

Let’s jump right into the best tools to build your creator business from anywhere in the world. (Some of these will be affiliate links, so if you sign up, I'll get a small referral bonus.)

Tool 1) Tweet Hunter

This is the foundation of my business. I absolutely cannot live without Tweet Hunter anymore. Everything I do on Twitter happens via Tweet Hunter.

From tweet scheduling and in-depth analytics to a fully functioning CRM where I can engage with others and reply to all the comments I’ve gotten.

Imagine opening Twitter and you see that you have 247 comments to reply to.

It would take ages to complete. But not with Tweet Hunter. It nicely lines up everything. All you have to do is write a reply and press enter.

Let alone the power of the auto DM feature:

Write a tweet mentioning that people have to like, reply, or retweet for you to send them something valuable. Enable the Auto DM option on Tweet Hunter. Fill in the DM you want to send. And watch everything happen automatically.

This feature is a godsend for doing giveaways. You get a ton of engagement and you don’t have to send a single DM yourself.

All-in-all a wonderful tool that I’d suggest anyone gets from day 1.

Tool 2) Beehiiv

Have I told you that email is king yet? Well it is. There’s nothing better and more effective than having your own email list.

My go-to choice is Beehiiv. Why? Easy. Scalability.

Beehiiv has the best platform and UI to start with. They also offer web hosting from the get-go. Which is important for content repurposing.

They also offer more growth-focused features that really benefit you as a starting creator. And it’s the most beginner-friendly software I’ve seen so far.

Beehiiv is also quickly catching up in terms of email automation. They’re regularly adding new functionalities each and every week. And they’ve announced that their functionalities will be on par (or even better) than ConvertKit's by the end of this year.

On top of all that. Beehiiv is absolutely free for up to 2,500 subscribers. Much higher than other choices such as Convertkit which is only free for up to 1,000 subscribers. (And gets more and more expensive as you keep growing)

And after your 2,500 subscribers? Well then Beehiiv is a measly $42 a month. You’ll easily be making far more than that every month if you have 2,500 subscribers. You’d be stupid not to accept such a deal.

Tool 3) Calendly

This one is self-explanatory. You need a way for people to book a call with you.

It’d be a nightmare if you had to send messages back and forth in the DMs to decide on a time when both you and the other person were available.

Calendly does this for you. All you have to do is fill in when you’re available and connect it to your calendar and my Zoom or Google Meet account.

Now people can choose a timeslot and it automatically schedules everything. Show up to the call and that’s that. It’s also free forever. There are upgrade plans, but those aren’t necessary for everyone.

Tool 4) Carrd

You need a landing page (or more). Carrd gives you landing pages.

It’s also entirely free. If you’d like to upgrade to more additional functionalities it’s only $19 per year. (That’s not a typo. It is in fact per year)

Carrd focuses on single-page websites (landing pages) so as to not overwhelm both you and the visitor with other pages that might steal their attention.

Perfect for maximizing conversions.

Tool 5) Stripe

Another self-explanatory one. You want to get paid. Stripe allows you to do so.

You can send invoices and payment links, and integrate them with thousands of other tools to automate everything. It also automatically creates invoices and receipts. Which makes your job a whole lot easier.

If you need anything payment-related. Stripe has got you covered. You only pay a small fee every time you make a sale. So no unpredictable costs.

Stripe isn’t available in some countries, however. Try Wise if that’s the case. I have no experience with it myself. But I’ve heard it does the job as well.

Tool 6) Gumroad

Gumroad is amazing. You can host your products, courses, services, or memberships on their site. Everything you offer can be done through Gumroad.

Again everything is free of charge, they only include a small service fee. Better yet, you don’t even need your own products to start selling.

Simply create an account and you can start affiliating with other people’s products. This is a great way to start earning when you have an audience but you don’t have your own product to sell yet.

Tool 7) Zapier

This is one of the most advanced tools on here. Zapier allows you to connect all of your other tools and create workflows. Zaps they call it.

All with the intention of automating actions you otherwise have to do yourself.

1. Connect Twitter with Discord or Telegram to automatically share your tweets

2. Connect Calendly with Slack, email, or even text message anything really, to notify you or others whenever you have a new lead

3. Use it to automatically add customers from Gumroad to your Beehiiv list

Again it’s completely free for basic consumption which is more than enough for most people.

Tool 8) Testimonial

Building social proof is the biggest ingredient for success.

One way to do it is by collecting testimonials from people you’ve helped. This allows you to share it on your landing pages or even on your social media.

Testimonial is a perfect tool to do this with. Simply send someone your link and they can fill in a testimonial of how you helped them. They can choose between text or video.

All of your testimonials get neatly saved together and you can then reuse them to share wherever you want. The feature that makes this all worth it is that you can integrate your “wall of testimonials” into the landing page you made with Carrd.

Testimonial is entirely free to start with.

They allow you to collect up to 10 testimonials for free. And by the time you’ve collected 10 great testimonials you’ll be making more than enough to upgrade to a paying subscription and start collecting even more testimonials.

Tool 9) Grammarly & ProWritingAid

Last but not least we have our spellcheckers. Grammarly & ProWritingAid

Some people have this belief that great writers don’t need a writing tool. But let me tell you otherwise.

I’m not a native English speaker myself. And chances are you aren’t either. And even if you are, we all make spelling mistakes once in a while. So do yourself a favor and get a spellchecker to check your writing.

Nobody wants to make embarrassing spelling mistakes. You don’t even need premium versions of these tools. I use the free versions myself and that’s more than enough.

Reminder: Use it to get rid of those embarrassing spelling mistakes (it even corrected ‘embarrassing’ for me just now). Not to improve the style or voice of your writing. You don’t want to end up sounding like a robot. Do you?

I finished reading The Hero of Ages. The third book in the Mistborn series by Brandon Sanderson.

It’s been a great read and I’d highly recommend it to anyone who loves a good fantasy world. The world-building was top-notch. Sanderson paid careful attention to detail. Everything feels real and interconnected.

The thing that amazed me most was how fast I read all of those books. I’m not sure anymore when I started, but I only purchased those books sometime last month.

This is alongside all the 12 other books I’m reading at the same time. So I’ve also gone through other books in the last however many days.

And I’m not someone who stays in all day every day to read. Far from it.

In fact, I used to hate reading a few years back. Not anymore apparently.

One of the few reasons why I’ve been able to accomplish this is that I dedicated certain time slots in my day to reading. It helps to have a system in place. Yes, even when reading.

If I didn’t have such a system it would probably take me over a year to finish a single book—something which actually used to be the case before I learned ‘how to read’.

But the biggest factor was a mindset change. Yes boohoo yet another person talking about how important mindset is.

Look, I’m not the biggest fan of constantly talking about mindset this, mindset that. But sometimes there’s no other way around it. It really does help.

As I’ve said, I used to hate reading. I’d loathe it. Didn’t want to do it.

Maybe it was because of how school teaches how to read and how they forced you to read stuff that didn’t interest me. Or just maybe it’s because I never learned to focus properly and couldn’t be bothered sitting still for so long staring at a piece of paper. Who knows?

But what I do know is what happened after I adopted the mindset of chasing my curiosities again. And picking up a book I thought looked slightly interesting.

And needless to say. I wouldn’t be where I am today if I didn’t change that mindset. If I didn’t let go of my original belief that I hated reading.

It’s not so much about taking on new mindsets and beliefs. But it’s more so about letting go of old ones that don’t serve you anymore.

Take a closer look at each and every belief you currently hold. Do they help you get closer to your goal? No? Then let them go.

Here’s an example:

Imagine if your goal is to get paid for doing something you love. But doing something that you don’t have to spend all day working on. Something that you can do wherever you are and whenever you want. Something that allows you to pursue your curiosities and express your newfound ideas to the world. And something that pays well for you to do so.

And now imagine you once heard people talk about how email is dead and only old people use it and social media really is the new shit. Then ask yourself. Does that belief help you in any way whatsoever?

Probably not.

So let go of that idea. Maybe you’ll become curious to find out more about how email can help you get closer to reaching that goal.

And maybe, just maybe, you’ll become so curious that you’ll check out Simple Money Emails to teach you exactly how to do so, right here: https://alexvandromme.gumroad.com/l/SME
