I Get Paid $17k/Month At 17 To make Content For Startups

I’m 17, I make $200k+ a year helping startups grow through content, and I never finished high school. This video is what that actually looks like behind the scenes. I don’t think the reason I got here is because I’m some insane filmmaker. Honestly, it’s because attention is the biggest asset on the internet right now. Everybody’s building products, but very few people know how to tell stories people actually care about. That’s the skill I went all in on. Now startups bring me in to help run content, positioning, and go-to-market around the founders themselves. In this vlog I’m taking you through a real work day. Client calls, scripting founder-led ads, prepping for a meeting with an 8-figure startup, and documenting the transition from being “the camera guy” to stepping into more of a creative director role.
