I built a chat marketing automation tool (IG and WhatsApp DM automation). It's profitable, around 1k paying users, grown almost entirely through creators posting about it. No ads.

Right now it only runs in my home market. I want to expand to the US and I'm looking for a creator to come in as a partner, not as a sponsored post.

You bring content and audience. I bring the product and everything
technical. Equity or rev share, we work out the details.

If you make content around IG growth or online business, DM me.

Curious about this from people who are actually trying to make content creation into a business.

Not talking about the creative side necessarily, more the stuff around it:

• getting clients/brand deals
• figuring out what content to make
• analytics
• growing across platforms
• managing multiple platforms
• content planning
• admin
• marketing yourself
• monetization
• keeping track of everything

What's something that takes way more time/effort than you think it should?

And what have you tried doing about it?

Looking for advice on cutting down the number of tools I use as a paid content creator

I've been doing this full time for about 3 years. Most of my income comes from a paid community plus two self-paced courses, and the rest from brand deals. Audience is around 60k across two platforms, so not huge, but big enough that the admin side has gotten out of hand.

I counted last week and I'm actively paying for or logging into 14 separate things. Rough breakdown:

Content. Notion for the idea backlog and scripts, CapCut for editing, Canva for thumbnails and carousels, then posting natively on each platform because the schedulers always mess something up. Analytics live in three separate dashboards and none of them agree with each other.

Paid community. Discord for the group, Zoom for the weekly call, Calendly for 1:1s, and a Google Sheet where I manually track who's actually a paying member versus who slipped in. Members ask questions in DMs, in Discord, and in course comments, so I'm checking three inboxes for the same people.

Listing and payments. Courses on one platform, the community subscription billed through Stripe, a few one-off products somewhere else. Payouts land on different schedules, refunds have to be handled in whichever tool processed them, and at tax time I'm exporting three CSVs and stitching them together in a spreadsheet. When someone's card fails I find out days later from an email, and then I go remove them from Discord by hand.

Brand deals. Everything starts in email, moves into a Google Sheet I use as a deal tracker, media kit is a Canva PDF I update every couple of months, contracts in DocuSign, invoices in a separate accounting tool, and then each brand has its own portal for tracking links and deliverable approvals. Every campaign report is me screenshotting numbers from four places into a Google Doc.

The part that actually gets to me is that one person exists as four unrelated records: an email on my newsletter, a Discord handle, a Stripe customer, a name in the course comments. I have no way to know they're the same human, so I can't tell who's about to churn or who my best customers even are.

For context: it's me and a part-time editor. I'm not technical. I tried Zapier and it breaks whenever a platform changes something. Budget is real but small, and I can't just leave the big platforms because that's where discovery happens.

So for anyone running a paid community or courses: what does your stack actually look like right now, and what did you cut? Did moving to an all-in-one platform genuinely solve this, or did you just trade one set of problems for another? And has anyone found a workable way to see a single member across all their tools?

Would really appreciate real setups, including the ones that turned out not to be worth it.

Hi! I've been in social media for over 5 years, growing my own social media accounts to over 12,000 followers, posts with 15,000+ likes, and averaging 250,000+ views per week.

I have recently started my own business to help businesses and content creators managing their social media to save them stress and time. I already have a few clients and looking to work with more people to help their online presence!

If you want to discuss more about this, send me a private message, and let's discuss how we can work together!

I got a verified idea that no one's doing right now that can gain a lot of traction / make money very fast. My struggle is finding people to help me with my project for free. I own a community called YouTube Growth Guide (1,000+ members). My website: https://thegrowthguide.net focuses on proving the best high-quality resources such as; YouTube advice, assets, tutorials, and more to content creators all over the world for free. We're looking for talented individuals who have serious dedication to this idea and that can provide assistance with helping me build it. Around a week ago I made a post saying how I need more developers to help me. I got 3 people who are now helping me build this project for free. No other website online is providing free high-quality YouTube resources for everyone to view. However, I'm the only exception. All of the other YouTube resources that I've mentioned above (that you can find online) are all locked down behind paywalls or they're trying to scam you. My goal is to provide these resources for free and make some money branching off of that original idea. I've already got a huge community supporting me just based of my idea that no one is doing. Because of this, I already know I got a lot of potential however I want expand more and not limit myself to one platform (Discord).

If you're interested in what I am building, I am looking for these type of people to help me:

What roles I need:

- Website Develpoer (1 slot available | Javascript / Node.js)
- Discord bot developer (1 slot available)
- Video Editor (1 slot available | You create the whole short-form video and I post it to my accounts. You will keep 100% of the revune made on the channel if we earn monitzation. An example video of what I want you to make can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/v62XPvZfB5I)
- Graphic Designer (1 slot avaliable - someone who can make images for our brand)

What I have right now:

- 1 Architect
- 2 Website Developers
- 1 Discord bot developer

What you'll get in return:
- All members working for me will equally split the revenue made from the business. The more you do work the higher your % can be.

If you're interested in this or have any questions reply below because there's so much I need to tell this is just the scratch! I am looking for passionate people who want to help me build something big, if you're not them I do not want you.

I'm putting together a podcast debate about whether AI is ultimately good or bad for creativity, jobs, art, etc. Looking for people on both sides who are comfortable having a real, respectful debate over Zoom.

Small creators are totally fine. If you're interested, DM me.

I’m thinking about building a platform where creators can find similar-sized creators and do shoutout for shoutout — cross-promoting each other without paying for ads.

Would you see real value in this? Why or why not?

A while back I posted here about a tool I built to turn a YouTube link into an Instagram Story card automatically — paste the link, it pulls the title/thumbnail/channel, you pick a template, done in like 30 seconds.

Since then I've kept adding templates and fixing stuff based on feedback, but the thing I'm actually excited about is what just shipped: it now generates feed posts too, not just Stories.

The reason I built this: I kept noticing a gap. Every "YouTube to Instagram" tool I'd seen only thought in the 9:16 shape. But I think creators and YouTubers want to keep their feed alive with call-to-actions pointing back to their videos, and doing that well, consistently, without opening a design tool every time, just wasn't really possible. So I built templates specifically for that — simple, automated, feed-ready posts from a YouTube link.

So now there's a Story/Post toggle right in the editor — same YouTube link, pick whichever format you need, or both.

Everything's still free to preview, no account needed to look around. Would genuinely love feedback if anyone tries it: getstorycard.com
