READ THROUGH EACH STEP CAREFULLY & THE KEY IS TO TAKE ACTION!
This guide should take no more than 4 hours to implement and will give you a framework to start achieving results faster than you ever had before.
This will work 100% if you work 100%, focus on what you can control.
Hour 0 - The Strategy
Specific Viewer + (Quality x Quantity) = Results: you will need to post lots of high-quality content for your specifically chosen person.
Hour 0-2 - Content Planning
Specific Viewer: To figure out who your specific viewer is, examine your own life, what skills do you have? What kind of people do you attract to your life?
Coming up with ideas: Steal like an artist, find the ideas that make you engaged and emotional in other people’s work, and recreate the delivery. If your video resembles the original too closely make sure to give credit for the inspiration.
Outlining your videos: The simplest storytelling structure that works every time is this.
Hour 2 - 4 - Content Creation
Videography: Find a piece of content that you find beautiful or engaging, frame by frame recreate the video.
At the start pay attention to:
If you are an absolute beginner, it may feel disappointing to not be able to exactly recreate a video. Wrap up and post that project and move onto the next project, as long as you are getting reps in you will improve. The more you post the faster you will Improve.
Taste: it’s difficult for beginners to understand the obscure qualities of what makes a video pleasing to others.
There is no way to sugarcoat this, it is because you don’t have taste.
But that’s okay, you will find taste through being a student of art and content, as you work on breaking down and recreating other people’s content, you will begin to understand the nuances of what makes good creative good.
Again the solution is repetition, intentional imitation and PUBLISHING VIDEOS to get feedback.
Quantity: I would not recommend spending more than 2 hours on any video if you are starting out. Without advanced skills and taste the effort you put in will not be rewarded equally.
Complete projects that you think you can do within 2 hours so that you get the experience and nuanced lessons without the huge investment of time and energy.
That should be more than enough to get you started on your journey.
Post Script is about the next stage, Refinement and Consistency.
I’m going to try and explain why community is the best thing you can be investing your energy into if your goal is to build a personal brand, grow an audience and make a living making cinematic videos online.
Constantly being in close contact and communication with people who are pursuing the same goals and winning has opened my mind up to what i'm able to achieve. It is the advice the #1 creator gives on Joe Rogan’s podcast.
By stating what my goals are and my action steps to a group, I’m on the hook, I’m hijacking social pressure and turning it into fuel for my work and goals
This is what courses pretend like they offer, a “secret” that will unlock everything but what you usually get from a course is what one person did to get one specific result. Not the steps you personally need to take.
In a community you interact with all different types of personalities and when we share what we did to win you can borrow real practical strategies and tailor it to yourself, this will never exist in any course.
If you want to go fast go alone, if you want to go far go together. Social media is a long term game, and most people lose because they stop before the game even starts, if you lack incredible willpower and discipline, a group is where you find the energy and support to keep going
The only way out is through, and no matter what anyone else says, the way to build your brand, is to build your brand, that means work, hard work, but aimlessly tossing your energy into the void is a sad place to be, receiving feedback from people who are also experimenting and going all in will save you the mistakes they’ve made and provide you with the guidelines for your personal success.

Before I address the most common questions, I want to tell you about some members of the community
https://www.instagram.com/dangatzyt/ DAN, he’s 17 in his senior year of high school , he’s also made it his goal to document his journey of growth and has a mission of spreading genuine good.
He found Post Script when he was at 9184 followers and averaging 4-5k views on his video
Since then he’s been active every day in the group, asking great questions, sharing his work for feedback and executing on what he’s learning
7 days later he has grown by 600 followers and his videos are breaking 10k consistently!
There’s also Mel (https://www.instagram.com/bitsofcaramel/) who joined the community while in a big creative rut
She dived straight into the deep end of the group, taking detailed notes of every live call, asking great questions in the forums and actively participating in sharing ideas and struggles with other members
She transformed from constant over-thinking and no sense of direction for her content to, let me just show you her reflection post:
“thank you ;(( <3 but seriously, I wanted to take the time to thank you cause, even though maybe I haven't improved at all, I'm aware that my mindset has already shifted a lot, not just about content but about life too. I remember you saying that you were working on improving how you communicate and articulate your thoughts to give us advice and for your videos, but I just wanted to let you know that at least for me, you've found the right words and you've told me exactly what I needed to hear. (I'm excited for my next video but scared cause you'll destroy me over feedback jajsjaj)
Just as you've noticed I overthink content, I was doubtful about joining too. In the end, I can say the time I've spent here has been a huge help. What you're doing is amazing, so thanks for all the hard work you're putting in and your efforts :) Oh, and you got this too!!”
If you’re an absolute beginner you’re like CJ (https://www.instagram.com/cjim_log/)
They joined with less than 50 followers! And had trouble breaking past 100 views on some videos
CJ just uploaded a video that is going to break 500 for the first time
Are you like Lukas (https://www.instagram.com/lukashvide0/) who has a high income skill but just needs to reach the right audience?
Since joining Lukas has been applying the lessons he’s learned from the group and is now making videos that break 1000 views consistently and getting him paying clients!
This is all happening for them within a week of joining
There’s also Qaseem (https://www.instagram.com/qaseemkazmi/) who could not come up with an idea for videos before joining and now posts everyday consistently getting past 3k views when he was averaging 1k before
There’s also Joanna, Lana, Jay, Mau all actively sharing their work with the group, sharing their learning and excited to grow!
And I am so excited for them too! You can check out their profiles to see their transformations!
But I did promised to answer your common questions about the group,
FAQ
You’re wondering, what do members actually do in the group? Let me just take you inside for a tour. Watch the video on the about page or sign up monthly and attend the weekly onboarding call, you can ask for a refund afterwards lol
Is this group for beginners? You don’t need to be great to start, you need to start to be great, everybody needs accountability and motivation and the toughest place to be is at the foot of the mountain, having people who are ahead of you showing you a path is the best way to jumpstart your journey
How much time will this cost me? to be honest as much as you can spend, it will be up to you what other aspects of your life you sacrifice to pursue this project but think about this way, the time will pass anyways and you should decide if growing a brand and working a career built on your own terms is worth the investment for you. Because it is worth it for the members that have joined and they are dedicated to winning and helping each other win.
What if I don't have pro equipment? Your gear is a small piece of the puzzle to success on social media platforms, storytelling, tenacity and creativity are all so much more important, equipment is the easiest problem to solve, members in the group use all sorts of cameras and software from android phones to professional mirrorless systems.
Is this a course? I have a classroom section in the community, it goes through some mindsets and technical skills but I think of it as a bonus and if you message me ill send you all of this for free, because I think the real value is in the community and feedback, so this community will be total waste of money for you if you’re not participating, we’re here to support each other but not carry you on our backs, if you’re looking for a magic pill to give you success, i'll let you know when they invent one.
Is this a scam? Look,I showed you that it has worked for people, I explained why community is a key component to success, and I've not even mentioned that I’ve actually gotten results, growing my own audience and building a business off of it. I understand that you may have bought something before, and felt disappointed by that, I have been there too. But Post Script is my livelihood and baby, I have every incentive to make this the best product for creators looking to grow their audience and business. I’m confident in the effectiveness of the group, but I offer full refund guarantees for those who don’t think the community is for them.
There’s only one true guaranteed thing, it’s that if you don't take any action, you will be exactly where you are.
But if you do…
What happens if you join now? I’ll onboard you personally on our weekly calls and you can start by introducing yourself to everyone, state your goals, start sharing your work and learning the skills and mentality required to build your audience, when you start adding value to the lives of others you start living your dreams of making money doing the things that you love with people that you love.
I'll remind you everyone who joins and actively contributes has made an insane amount of progress in just under one week, that’s 100% results, and 0% risk.
If you sign up and find the community is not life-changing for you, you can let me know and I'll give you a full refund and you can even walk away with all the value and knowledge from inside and make it on your own!
Because all I want is people to win.
