my 2 hour/day content ecosystem


mark zuckerberg used to charge me $30k/mo, now he only charges me $1k/mo

for context, i used to run a very linear business

paid ads to a video sales letter

video sales letter to a call

call to sale

volume game

and then, restart the engine every 1st of the month

repeat

hey, it worked

but came with more losses than you might expect

it was expensive (36% profit I had to split with my biz partner)

stressful (3300 sales calls/year)

short-term (paid ads as the only traffic source)

it gave me my first $150k liquid in the bank at 24

which gave me the peace of mind to zoom out

i realized i was building for the short-term and the stress wasn't worth it

so, 2 years ago, i rebuilt it

the Digital Coffee Shop was born

it's not linear

it's holistic

ecosystem driven rather than front-end optimized

i still run ads, because i like predictability

an average of 50 new people enters my world every single day

awesome for traffic

not great for conversion

so i like to move the cheap traffic from Instagram to YouTube

my audience watches my videos for 26 hours every single day

that's a lot

it's really good for trust building NOW

and it compounds heavily

youtube doesnt bring me clients, it brings me warm leads

onto here

the top 5% most qualified ends up reading these emails

that's you

you resonated deeply with The Digital Coffee Shop model

it might've been the high profit aspect

The Menu Card

the Show Don't Tell approach to content creation

or just the thought of creating your own universe at some point

so you, and 1321 others, read these emails

you're my highest quality audience

i tell stories from my business, my clients and my life here on email

and then end them off with

"would you like help with this?"

that's how i run my content ecosystem

it's how I acquire clients and customers for The Digital Coffee Shop

takes me 90 mins/day

manage the ads, write my emails and create my YouTube videos

while sipping on my iced americano

it took lots of time & effort

but it's the best system i've ever built

and now, you know what comes next

check the P.S

best, fred
