Welcome to my blog!
New blog posts every week about YouTube, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Productivity, and Mindset.
Create content faster (this is how)
With the rise of AI and the abundance of tools at your disposal, speed is becoming increasingly important for content creators.
But how do you increase your production speed without sacrificing quality or becoming a generic copycat?
My 3 tips for 2025
We're entering a new year and you might have new goals in mind.
But how can you ensure that you actually make progress toward those goals?
Top 10 newsletters from 2024
I’ve been sending a newsletter every single week in 2024. In this blog post, I will share the top 10 newsletters with the best open-rates from the past year.
Why Premiere Pro?
I've created over 700 YouTube videos (roughly 450 for my own channel and 250 for clients) and I've made about 600 of those using Adobe Premiere Pro.
In this blog post, I'll explain why.
My gamification system
How do you track your progress?
What does "productivity" mean to you?
Start before you are ready
Have you ever stopped yourself from doing something because you didn't feel "ready"?
This mindset can really hold you back. Let me explain how.
My desk setup (and my best recommendations)
If you work from home (like me), you probably have your own personal desk setup. I want to share what mine looks like, but more importantly, why it looks the way it does and how you can create your own ideal desk setup.
How to focus as a content creator
People say that 'time is your most valuable asset,' but I disagree.
Focus is your most valuable asset (because that is when you get things done and it is even more limited than time).
Your best career path
Your parents are wrong. Let me explain why.
As you go through life and try to navigate different career options, it is common to seek advice or look to people ahead of you for guidance.
That is not always the best move.
Why YouTube? (How one platform can change your life)
When I was a kid, I didn't have access to YouTube.
Not because my parents kept me from it - it just didn’t exist yet!
(In fact, I don’t think we even had a computer with internet until I was 12.)
In this blog post, I will share how this platform went from “nonexistent” to life-changing, in just a couple of years.
Why “working more” is a bad idea
There's a common misconception about work that we need to address.
Everywhere we look, we see advice about "working hard", "working more", and "hustling".
In this blog post, I'll explain why that's bad advice and what we should do instead.
My last blog post (in this format)
These blog posts will change. ✂️
For almost 2 years, I have been sending out a collection of social media posts from the previous week (on various topics) as a newsletter. Images, videos, texts, carousels, tweets...
These newsletters have then been repurposed as blog posts.
But now, this will change.
5 tips to maximize your time as a creator
Ever feel like there just aren’t enough hours in the day?
I think a lot of people can relate to that (and especially high-achievers). The go-to-solution for most people is simple: "I need to work more". But is that really the solution?
How I created 100 newsletters
This blog post is repurposed from newsletter number 100 and I want to talk about that. Not to brag or to celebrate a milestone, but as a "proof of concept" of a process that has helped me generate 100 letters. Because the process is what helped me get here, not an abundance of ideas or motivation.
Why you should change your goal
I want to help 100 000 creators.
This goal has changed over the years and in this blog post I will share why it has changed and why you might also want to change your goal.
How I uploaded weekly videos to YouTube for 3 years
If you know me, you know that I dedicate a lot of my development and growth as a content creator to my consistency and my systems. For good reasons. In this week’s blog post, I’m sharing the full story behind my 3-year streak of weekly YouTube uploads— and why it took me 4 years of trial and error to get there.
Time is running out
I’ve been thinking a lot about how we sometimes wait for the perfect moment to start something big.
We want to "get it right" from the start, we want to think things through, and we want to avoid mistakes by starting too early.
But “waiting for the right moment” is not what will help you reach your goal. Rather the opposite. In this blog post I will explain why.
What EVERY creator has (without knowing it)
What is your association with the word "system"?
Let me guess: Boring, repetitive, corporate, limited, mundane, robotic...
The words productivity and systems don't sound super exciting.
However, those are key components for any type of journey that you will embark on as a high-achieving content creator.
5 years of freelancing - These were the steps I took
It was a big decision for me (as an introvert) to start freelancing. I knew deep down that I wanted to create something of my own but I had a ton of questions circulating in my head:
How does it work? How do I find clients? Do I have to do cold-calling? How do I handle invoices and taxes? Will I have the confidence and self-discipline that I need?
5 things I wish I knew about focus
Maximizing your focus is an essential part of being a content creator when... Coming up with ideas, writing out scripts, filming videos, editing, marketing/distributing etc... Video creation takes a lot of time. Simply "working more" is not the solution. Instead, you want to get the most out of every minute you spend working.
