I notice influences from Hormozi and BMS in your content, but the way you combine them with your personal style makes your videos truly worth watching. Love it! 🙌
I'm curious... Is building a personal brand on your existing social media account profiles a good idea? Or should you create separate accounts for business activities?
Love your content. There's a short story in the book “Art & Fear: Observations on the Perils (and Rewards) of Artmaking” by David Bayles and Ted Orland which, from my perspective, teaches a very important lesson that resonates with your approach: A ceramic teacher divides the class into two groups. One group is told to make one perfect pot, while the other group is told to make as many pots as possible. In the end, the group that made many pots ended up creating better pots because they learned and improved through their mistakes. Failure is not just acceptable, but a crucial part of the scaling process. Consistent efforts and willingness to learn from failures is what leads people to amazing results. Also, totally recommend the book, even for non-artists. Thanks for the time you put into these videos ! ❤
Yay...Action Anna is back! You're the boldest introvert I've ever come across, and naturally channel that " inherit shyness" energy into authentic well thought out and sharp coaching. Oh thanks to you Anna, I'm well into gaining mastery of Framer. They have added many intuitive features for non coders. Sending you good vibes for ongoing success! Bastante gracias Anna! 💫
Anna, had you work pop up quite a few times but this has been a phenomenal watch. I love the raw sort of approach you have to this knowledge. No funky graphics - just straight facts
thank you for this. pivoting my business online has been an emotional roller coaster. By chance seeing this post and I am just thankful you posted this. It was what I needed.
Anna, you’re a gangster and I get so fired up watching this. I’ve learned so much from watching your videos, and while still haven’t “made it” one day I will reach out to you and I will thank you for how much you’ve contribute to me making it. Thank you for the amazing content you put out, big respect and admiration. Cheers.
You’re really good Anna. Good info, although I’m an input machine, I’m watching more for the style of your videos. You do this incredibly well. This channel is going to blow up
You are so inspiring to me! You always go straight to providing value and avoid recycling the same mentality bullshit fake gurus put out there. I really appreciate your work, def one of the best channel out there!
I actually started a TH-cam challenge, posting one video every day, and yes, it is super depressing sometimes, but it got me out of my comfort zone and it is so much easier to just press record. I am trying out a lot of things, also how tos, and I feel that it is not my thing. What you said about one person, one problem is a new angle that I want to try out, one or two videos every week. Thank you for your insights, I love your videos.
This was something that was pointed out to me. For YT especially you have to research ideas a lot and find validated ones and use keywords in titles. I normally just come up with an idea and make a video. But I’ve been told that larger creators research the idea first then make a video by applying their message to the idea. 💡 Hope this helps. I’m a small account on YT but have talked to people on X with tens and hundreds of thousands of followers.
Thanks Anna! One of the things I worried about was attracting other web designers and digital marketers when I start creating content. I'm crafting my company's brand messaging now so I know exactly who I'm talking to and can create content that speaks directly to them. I appreciate you taking the time to make this video and help us on our journeys.
Hey Anna, great video, this has reminded me to re-focus back on one client rather than random content for everyone. Quick question. Do you encourage us to remove irrelevant followers (retrain the algo) or keep them because they add to the number and help with engagement? I have a lot of web design followers and random people, but i'm targeting 7-figure business owners, so not sure what to do here. Thanks :)
Thank you anna, I have been so lucky to find your channel. I was so lost before, had no idea of what i was doing before finding your channel. Every one of your videos has helped me gain knowledge and confidence to move one step forward. I appreciate it so much
posting cool design website only attarcts other designers that is actually why i stopped posting web landing pages u will never get get clients unless ur famos well said anna
Hi Anna. I have one problem: I HATE creating content. I’ve tried for many years in many different ways. I dislike it. Does this mean I’ll never be able to be a freelance or entrepreneur and that I should stay an employee?
Hi Lara, not Anna here, but I felt the want to reply. You make your own meaning, first off. You can always outsource the content creation part, but your mission and purpose have to be greater than the obstacles, and the content has to be authentic to you and I think it’s best you make it yourself at first. I don’t particularly enjoy making content either, but I can see how necessary it is for me to build my business, and that’s enough to motivate me to do it. My main message is DON’T SETTLE. Do what you have to do to sustain you along the way, but as a fellow aspiring entrepreneur, I hope that you keep trying, keep learning, and keep getting better - your time will come. Warm regards.
Great video, Anna. I've a question: What should I talk about in my (text) content? Like I see others on Fb / Insta / Ld talk about UI, UX and other design stuff. But why would a small biz owner be interested in these topics. Such content would likely attract competitors which is something I don't want. How do I solve this problem? Like I can think of sharing testimonials, bts, details about on-going projects, and few other stuff. But still it feels a bit limited. Can you share some ideas on how to come up with infinite content ideas?
@@Tonemind This was something I was thinking about recently too, found a guy on YT here name Alex Sheridan who broke this down into details, and also another person by the name of Dakota Robertson, and how to use ChatGPT to help you out.
Assuming that you work with s specific kind of client, it can help to make the posts about them. Where are they now and where are they struggling with (a), where would they like to be or what kind of outcome are they looking for (b). You can make posts about the route they have to walk from A > B, sharing all the information/knowledge you have.
Hi , Great video! I can see the passion and effort you've put into it. If you're ever in need of a dedicated video editor to take your content to the next level, I'd love to help.
Hey Anna , really nice video ! I was wondering if I could help you with more Quality Editing in your videos and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail and also help you with the overall youtube strategy and growth ! Pls let me know what do you think ?
@@theannahickman Yes ma'am would love to see how u made them because from what I understand it's meant for a freelance agency and also how u linked ur sales ,email etc template to one database without having to rewrite the template for each client anfd also a detailed explanation of client portal pls 🙏🙏
I have a faceless channel, but I would like to come out on my face, but I have lymphoma cancer and hashimoto thyroiditis, so health issues and not having confidence ,I think you can help me. Please help me with a few mentorship from you.
I hear you. Think about it: people connect with people. I know what it's like to not want to appear in your video but there is a huge benefit when your viewers can put a face to who you are. Rootin' for you
If that made you 212K you wouldn't be wasting time on youtube. I like when clips are helpful, but when they are outragous, i simply select "never recommend channel".
@@MrKai-zv9bc 212k is more than 99% of all people on the planet makes in a decade. So useless point.

@@lecsu131 Since everything went over your small brain: For point 1) Earning $212k does not and should not mean you stop any other source of earning extra income. So don’t play that idiotic hand (but you’re the type that would because it’s a “waste of time”, so no helping you there). 2) It’s not supposed to be an argument. It’s educating you on what she’s doing. There’s a trend here of you not being able to digest information, but rather see negatives. 3) This I stand by. And don’t act like your time is at all precious. We all know it isn’t.
@@MrKai-zv9bc Are you even reading what you're writing? Read it again, it makes no sense.

Are you in the web design business? Have you built websites before? Have you run a business web designing, seo, ad words, campaigns, etc ? I have, i have been doing that for over 20 years and now i work for an e-commerce website that makes over USD 1 billion per year in sales. I do know what I'm talking about, I do know what she's talking about and I do know that it's all bullshit with shitty clickbait title.

But since you live in your mother's basement and act like a simp protecting the digital image of a girl hoping you'll get noticed for once in your life, i'll leave you to it - happy getting noticed. P.S. ping me back when you get to that 212k.
Hey Anna ! I loved this video . I work with entrepreneurs like you who have around 50k subscribers to help them to grow to 100k subscribers in under 6 months with Proven Strategies and systems which includes all the services from like helping you with viral content ideas , high quality editing in your videos , high CTR thumbnails to Helping you with Growing your TH-cam Channel . I actually helped Chirag to achieve 92k subscribers in under 11 months . Could I do a free audit to see if I can help you do the same ? I just think it's really important that more people see your content and want to help you on that mission
"Attention is the new currency" is a brilliant line! I like that one.

to stand out and really catch attention in a sea of content creators, you need to make content with real depth to it 6:45 - much wisdom.
