Breaking down my $60,723 product launch
Earlier this month, I launched a brand new product called CreatorHQ. The way I’ve come to describe CreatorHQ is a complete operating system for creators – it’s literally the system I’ve built for myself in Notion to run the entire Creator Science business.
I use CreatorHQ every day. It houses all my goals, projects, tasks, content, CRM, sponsorship campaigns – everything! This episode was prepared in CreatorHQ. It’s the glue that keeps my business together and keeps the trains running. And I knew if I made it available for other creators, it’d help you too.
So I launched this on April 11 and had some bonuses available for those who purchased before April 15. It was my first true LAUNCH of something, and I put a lot of time and effort into it. Between April 11 and April 15, CreatorHQ generated $60,723.
In this episode you'll learn
About my launch strategy
The good things I'd do again
The bad things I'd do differently
And a few things that I'm still indifferent about

[GREATEST HITS] #147: Chenell Basilio – How the best newsletter operators grow to 50K+ subscribers
Chenell is the writer of Growth In Reverse, a weekly newsletter where she reverse engineers how a top creator grew from 0 to 50k+ subscribers.
Chenell has done deep dives on Justin Welsh, Codie Sanchez, Lenny Rachitsky, Harry Dry, and many more.
I read it every week and think it’s incredibly well-done. The premise is super clear, and as a result, Chenell has seen her OWN newsletter grow very quickly – nearing 10,000 subscribers in just about four months.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
The common patterns between these newsletter operators
Some of the most effective growth tactics she’s uncovered
And what’s working for HER right now

Richard was really early to LinkedIn. And as his own reach grew, he started getting a lot of questions about how to best use the platform.
5 years ago, Richard started creating an annual LinkedIn algorithm insights research report. This thing is a gold mine of data driven observations about how different aspects of LinkedIn are working and even how they are trending compared to the year before.
In this episode you'll learn
Why LinkedIn reach may be down
What formats are most effective right now
How to use LinkedIn as a lead generation
And you'll get a feature by feature breakdown of how Richard himself uses LinkedIn

Michael Stelzner – How to run profitable events (without sponsors or selling from the stage)
Michael Stelzner is the founder of Social Media Examiner and the man behind Social Media Marketing World, the industry's largest conference.
He takes a very different approach to events. Before talking with Michael, I was told that events are not profitable from ticket sales, that you had to design events to make money during the event itself by selling products or bringing in sponsors.
But he disagrees.
In this episode you'll learn
The nitty gritty of the economics behind events
Where things get expensive
How to save money
And how to make your event feel more like a fine dining experience than a marketplace

Listener Q&A (Part 2) – Selling without feeling salesy, choosing what products to create, my future plans, and more.
For this audio episode, we are going to dive into questions that I got from the lab, from Instagram, from LinkedIn, Twitter, and threads.
Now this is actually a part 2. The first half of these questions I recorded in video format with my producer, Connor. We took a lot of the questions from YouTube and about YouTube and we prioritize those for a video episode on the channel.
But before we get into that, I have a couple of things that I want to tell you. Thing #1, if you are not already subscribed to the Creator Science newsletter, please do so. You will like it. Almost 60,000 creators subscribed to it already.
Thing #2, I've spent the last couple of months building a new product called Creator HQ. And this is a templatized version of my personal Notion setup that is how we run the entire creator science business. It's what we use for task management, content preparation, content publishing, content repurposing, and much more.
