How To Build An Audience Without Showing Your Face

I've coached a lot of people to "start making videos". It's an essential part of building your brand and attracting the right people. Putting your personality on display will weed out those you don't click with and strengthen the bonds with your fans.

That's all true, but the fact is…Not everyone can physically do this.

As a person living with Parkinson's, I have windows of time where my body is willing to cooperate with me and do what I need it to. Some days those windows are very short…Other days they're nonexistent. 

There are millions of people with physical and mental challenges that make it difficult or impossible to be on camera. This week, I want to prove to you that you're not out of the game because of these limitations. You have options! 

Click below to listen or watch.

  • The notion that the only pathway to success for a content creator is through a lens is false
  • If you have a condition (ADHD, Parkinson's, Anxiety) that makes it hard or impossible to be on camera, AI has given you options
  • This is not "cheating"
  • Be open and transparent. This will enhance your credibility with your audience
  • Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
  • Your physical limitations do not disqualify you from participating
  • The gatekeepers are gone. AI has kicked the gate wide open!
  • Life is not happening to you…it's happening For you.

He Makes $1500 Per Hour – Using AI

Many technological advances come with a healthy dose of fear, and that has definitely been the case with AI – especially with writers and artists.

"Why would someone pay me when they can just ask an AI to generate something for them at virtually no cost?"

This week, I have an answer…one that gives me the right to gloat a bit.

Since the beginning of the A.I. craze, I have maintained that A.I. is a tool…An extremely powerful tool that works best when wielded by a skilled artist.

On this episode, you'll hear about an "A.I. Artist" who is making $1,500 an hour using this tool – and he's completely upfront about who (or what) is doing the heavy lifting.

  • A.I. will help us, not hurt us (IF we use it correctly)
  • My earlier email from the Daily Ray (details below)
  • Use A.I. as your "Unfair Advantage"
  • The article about the titular artist (linked below)
  • Why didn't the company just use the same tools the artist used?
  • "We don't care how he makes it. We only care that the end user enjoys our game." (let that soak in)?
  • Sign up for our upcoming free workshop about building your writing business

Start Your 1-Person Business Now

This week's episode kicks off an upcoming series about building your own, 1-Person business.

A 1-Person business isn't new territory for me; I ran a successful one for many years before I started building my team…

BUT – The tools that are available now (specifically the AI-Powered ones) have made doing this on-your-own incredibly easy. You can now build your business by yourself, without neglecting every other aspect of your life…And it's AMAZING.

Let's talk about what's possible… And why YOU CAN, and SHOULD, do it NOW. 

Key Insights

  • Building a one-person business that allows you to work only with people you want to work with, and on your own schedule, is not just a dream, it can be a reality.
  • The internet is "The Great Leveler", removing all barriers and providing equal opportunities for success.
  • Optimists generally have better lives, with more money, freedom, happiness, and better relationships, while pessimists have a more realistic vision but often end up less happy, wealthy, and with lesser relationships.
  • The internet removes gatekeepers and allows anyone, regardless of age, to create a million-dollar business.
  • The internet has leveled the playing field, allowing anyone to start a business and connect with potential customers, regardless of their social status or background.
  • Understanding that you are the brand allows you to be your authentic self and stand out in a way that is unduplicable.
  • There is an audience out of the 8 billion people on this planet that can only resonate with your unique perspective and personality, so be authentic and comfortable in being yourself.
