Your competitors just made $21,800 this week. You're still charging by the hour

Yo! We have some awesome wins yesterday in the AI Video Marketer Program.
While some of are you waiting for your next project to magically fall onto your lap or maybe work on a revision last minute - our clients are building real businesses utilizing their video skills.
Gee closed $6,800 (30-day package)
Jon closed $7,500 (paid in full)
Chris closed $7,500 AND booked 6 calls from the system we teach
Six months ago, they were you - scrambling for $2,000 gigs, saying yes to everyone, editing until 3am for clients who don't respect boundaries.
Here's the brutal truth:
Freelancing isn't a business. It's a hamster wheel with a camera.
You want to know what's not sustainable?
Worrying about rent every month
Taking any gig that pays
Competing with someone on Fiverr charging $50
Having zero leads in the pipeline
Working weekends because you can't afford not to
Look, you could get a corporate job tomorrow making $90k/year. They'd handle your benefits, your taxes, your steady paycheck. No shame in that.
But I'm guessing that's not why you picked up a camera.
You wanted freedom. You wanted to build something. You wanted to create without a boss breathing down your neck.
So here's your choice:
Keep freelancing and watch AI tools eat away at your $500 editing gigs...
Or build an actual business where clients pay you $7,500 because they're buying transformation, not timelines.
Chris has 6 calls booked for next week. Not from cold DMs. Not from begging. From a system that positions him as the expert, not the vendor.
If nothing changes, nothing changes.
And with AI coming for every low-value freelancer, you don't have 5 years to figure this out. You have maybe 18 months.
I just made a video breaking down exactly how to transform your life by becoming an AI Video Marketer. Like no bullshit watch it.
Because scrambling for scraps while your competitors close $7k deals?
That's not a career. That's just expensive denial.
