@Jason______A Wouldn’t that end up costing more than an apt?

When I had no money for first last and security on an appt and I was just learning internet marketing I rented a room at the comfort suites and walked to the office.
Was incredible. Free breakfast in the AM. I used to make extra waffles and sneak them so I had free lunch too.
My room was always clean when I got home.
Absolutely amazing way to live.

One of the wealthiest guys I know stayed in a 5 star hotel before getting the keys to his apartment, and he enjoyed it so much he cancelled the apartment contract & stayed in the hotel for 4 years straight. Never seen a person so happy and stress free in my life.

You can just brute force your way into a $1B company while everyone battles for $10K/month

This has been sitting in the drafts for too long lol We documented the entire process of bringing the most viral Twitter video to life

@const_yt @RobertFreundLaw Doing it in a shady way probably is. Like hiding it in extremely small text or just not even making an explicit disclaimer.

“No one is getting in trouble for MRR stuff” the same way every dropshipper has a Huracan and every 23yo is on a boat in Greece. It’s social media! People aren’t broadcasting the parts that suck.

@Jason______A Damn why are you getting hacked so often 😭
English
I didnt make a meme coin let’s go over the time line.
I was hacked 5 days ago around 4–5 PM Eastern. The Scammers posted some app and "exposed" a Sol Address. They created a coin and allocated 65% of its supply to that address to make it look like it was me.
You guys thought
1. That I made some sort of app
2. That I exposed my SOL address
3. That I was pumping the coin in the address
Whoever did that rugged the coin shortly after I got my account back and made off with $30-40k
Four days ago I released my public SOL address something I created quickly on Trust wallet like a Boomer. Someone made another coin and sent me 65% of the supply but didn't give me the fees so someone else made another coin and gave me the fees.
Shortly after the fees on the original coin were reverted back to me. I waited and sold the 2nd coin (netting about $3k but if I had instantly dumped it, I could have got about $20k) and posted the first one.
Shortly after I got hacked aagin but immediately recovered the account before any damage could be done.
I have never sold the coin I posted, and I never will. I'm not looking to dump on people, I thought this whole hack thing was fucking nuts and wanted to learn what was going on. I prob have another $3-4k in fees to collect (dont even know how)
In short, if you think the whole $4-8k I made doing all this at all changes my life, you're fucking insane. I wish I hadn't been hacked, it was a complete pain in the ass. That being said I got hacked, i learned something new from it and I will be giving the money I made away in some manner.
A friend mentioned donating it to charity but then he said I should fly a few of y’all out give you $1k cash, have you chill in my garage (not tai Lopez) and we cruise some of the lambos, smoke some cigars, etc etc
That seems like a pretty good idea.
In sort if I lost "aura" in some of your eyes .... L O FUCKING L I dont care what yall think in terms of me being "cool" or not.
All I care about is that my reputation stays the same as it always has been and thats 100% A+
This is why I have made countless bets on this platform and nobody has ever taken me up on them. I am undefeated in people trying to bring my name down and not being able to back it up.

@PhedEU @dudufolio So the restaurant itself made money but one of your own was stealing?
English
@dudufolio (if you think you can do something about nightlife people defrauding you, you have no idea how this industry works)
English
Here's how I lost a bit over $50K in a restaurant business
The year is 2020
Covid lockdown goes into motion so a friend/business partner & I get bored so decide to mess around in Cyprus
The moment the idea hits we call a friend (@dudufolio) who connects us to one of the big food & beverage players in the country (this was at 1am, we went from idea to execution in minutes btw)
Next day we have a meeting, he likes us (or so we assume) so we set a plan into motion. The plan:
- Open up a high end restaurant
- In the most high end street in the capital
- Hire a 2 star Michelin chef from Greece
- Run it up
Took a couple months, by early 2021 we are already open and running
The plan was I was going to be a silent investor as I had no experience in the industry and just wanted to diversify investments
TLDR:
- Total investment was $500K approx
- We hit a 180K revenue months
- Margins were trash (at least for me, as I'm used to internet money margins) - but considered good for the industry (20% ish)
- We end up on a loss every single month
- Figure out partners were defrauding us (it is incredibly easy to do so in a cash business)
- End up selling the place for a loss
Lessons:
- If you are making money online and are used to 90% margins, for the love of God - you do not need to get into trashy physical businesses (of course there are exceptions)
- Trust your self. If you can make money online (I mean really make money online, not hit a one time homerun and think you are HIM), you can very likely outperform a 50 year old boomer who's been running his company in the same way for 30 years now
PS - @dudufolio was also a partner, he managed to sell his shares before the ship sunk - proceeded to put out his exit money in NFTs and lose it all there
PPS - I told myself I'd never do a physical business, but currently in the process of launching one in Cyprus, good luck us

@PhedEU What’s the lore behind trying a restaurant
English
@PhedEU So when you approached these sports companies, did you make a business entity or anything first to appear legit or did they still take you serious regardless?

You can simply license content and make millions on YouTube
This will be a long tweet showing you a side of YouTube no one showed you yet, and for good reason
If you have CMS contacts, you can simply show licensing agreements and get access to O&O or Managed YouTube channels
With an O&O, you can even "bypass" some of the policies - eg: you can bypass reused content
Let me give you an example:
Padel is really big right now. And growing faster than any sport (as it's "more recent")
What no one is doing is emailing everyone who works at the big Padel companies and asking them to license their content. Get the full 10 hour raw tournament livestreams, and start posting "top 10 padel trickshots", "top 10 padel rallies", and so on
You will have ZERO competition. Me and a few others on here (can count the number in one hand) have used this method with many sports/niches that no one is ever considering
You can just do things. These companies have never had such deals before, they don't know how to treat them, and you will likely get a deal very cheap
If you have connections - that's even better. Use them.
You got a Saudi contact? Get the exclusive YouTube rights for the Saudi Pro League and post Cristiano highlights every time he plays. Without a license & a CMS it is impossible, but again - you can just do things
PS - what I mean by bypass reused content & other policies, is that there is no need for voice overs or other traditional faceless YouTube stuff in this method. You can just post whatever because you will be protected through a CMS with a licensing agreement from the content owners
Do with this info what you wish (and don't trust anyone who pops up this week saying he has been using this method for years)
English
This is 100% true.
I’ve known @PhedEU since we were teenagers. Around the same time I started getting big with Minecraft animations, he was building in esports and gambling.
Different industries, but the same underlying lesson:
The difference between operators making $30K–$100K/month and serious media companies is usually not simply more views.
It is:
• Exclusive licensing deals
• Multi-platform distribution
• Owned intellectual property
• Automated production systems
• Recognizable brands
• Multiple monetization layers
The padel example is key.
You could monetize that content directly without any voiceover using an O&O channel, but the bigger opportunity would be turning it into a recognizable brand, securing the underlying licensing rights and distributing it across every platform that fits.
I also have a feeling this format would absolutely print on Snapchat.
We did something similar with the split-screen content format that became popular through @Cobratate and his network of clippers.
Instead of using random footage, we licensed all of the “second-layer content”:
Satisfying videos, cake decorating, soap cutting, slime videos and other high-retention visuals.
After meeting @noahmorris, he taught me Cursor and helped me install the entire automation setup in around 2.5 hours in the Bali mastermind.
We then automated almost the complete production workflow.
We can now generate 30 videos that are 3.5 hours long with roughly one minute of manual work, followed by around one day of rendering.
We then partnered with major POV creators and distributed the content through our CMS using O&O and Content ID channels.
That system generated months between $250K and $500K, with our record being: see image attached
The real opportunity is not merely making another viral video.
It is owning the rights, automating the production and monetizing the same intellectual property across as many channels and platforms as possible.
That is how a content operation becomes a valuable media company.

@PhedEU Did he license it somewhat recently or when YT wasn’t as big?
English
I have a friend who at 16 years old flew from Greece to Mexico on his own to meet a music label and license their niche music and get exclusive rights to post it on YouTube
He has made over 5 mil from this (and he also has ~12 followers on X)
Stop imposing limiting beliefs on yourself

@RobertFreundLaw I’m pretty sure they’ve had a surplus for years. Shouldn’t need help reimbursing anything.

Public Access to Court Electronic Records is here to tell you that it’s pricing more of the public out of accessing court electronic records.
