In this video I break down the 7 distinct levels of making money with social media—from posting random content and making $0, all the way to the “level seven” goats who turn attention into billion-dollar consumable brands. I’m pulling from my own journey being transparent with my numbers, because I’ve been in this game for about 3 years and I’m already sitting at level five. The point is to stop chasing random tactics and start thinking in stages: what changes at each level, what you should focus on, and what actually moves you forward. I start at level one (really level zero) where you don’t get enough views to monetize and you don’t understand virality yet. Then I explain how one outlier video can push you into level two, where you might hit a million views a month and make up to ~$500—usually from one platform’s ad revenue. Level three is when you scale across platforms and stack multiple ad programs (YouTube, TikTok, Snapchat, Facebook, etc.), and level four is when you use trust + audience to add brand deals, affiliates, and commission plays like TikTok Shop. Level five is where I’m at now: using my audience to sell my own product (not dropshipping) and building automations to drive sales. Level six is scaling beyond your face into a real business that runs without you, and level seven is celebrity-level attention where you can launch massive products like MrBeast or Prime.
