How to be free? Content Creation and Freelancing
Why am I making a new channel and all of this?
Hey! My name is Lexie Janson and I am here to welcome you to this amazing, new journey that begins here.
You are probably here due to the new YouTube channel and wanted to know more. Well… this will be a longer story! Yes, this is a brand new website, with a brand new newsletter and more. WHAT ON EARTH IS GOING ON!?
If you have read my last blog post on maionhigh.com - you probably know that I kind of lost it. But I have mentioned a secret project in making… And you know what? Here it is! How do you like it so far?!
WHY ON EARTH WOULD I DO A SECOND YT CHANNEL, INSTAGRAM, WEBSITE AND MORE? Well…
This type of content didn’t match my main YouTube channel. As simple as that
I love teaching and sharing my knowledge. I find myself really happy doing so and knowing I could help someone that needed it. And… I love FREE education. I know how it is not to be able to afford courses and education. I have been there. And I want to give EVERYONE an equal chance.
I love creating content. I think that storytelling and creation are one of the most powerful ways to spread the message, keep memories fresh and express oneself. I feel saddened when people tell me they don’t know how to spread their beautiful messages to the wider world because I want them to be spread, and I want those amazing people to thrive, creating a business of what they love.
Since we’re on the business side of things - I have found a lot of joy in creating mine. Through a lot of learning, trial and error I have learned how to secure sponsorships, get brand deals, sell digital products and create many sources of income that are mostly passive. Meaning that you create something once, and then earn it while you are asleep. We live in beautiful times that allow such things to happen and I love the idea of spreading that message around. So you can achieve the same.
I always wanted to be FREE. Free from the government of the country I was born in, free from fear and uncertainty. Free from “overlords”. And I have made it happen. I want the same for YOU
I believe the freedom that comes from the possibilities we have now, such as being a content creator, freelancing online and working from home is opening up a new world for individuals. It allows you to work from anywhere in the world, at the times you know are best for you, without a wasted time in front of the desk in an office. Without the meetings that should have been an email. Productive, requiring less of your time and energy, but more rewarding and creating more wealth for YOU.
And people, who feel that freedom - they want to HELP. There was a moment when I was not just satisfied with sharing tips on private messages and short comments - I wanted to share more of it with everyone. I want to help. I don’t want to keep this knowledge and possibilities for myself, I want them for everyone, so we can live in the beautiful world of ideas, great products, services and all of this without wasting time doing nothing. It’s because I heard so many stories of people fearing for their livelihood due to the pandemic, so many of my friends lost everything from day to day, without any backup plan or backup possibilities. All of this was caused by following the social ideas of “being successful” in 9-5. So for a long time, I was trying to figure out how to help, and I have been battling the idea. I wasn’t sure if I am up to creating another one. And yet… here we are.
I wanted to share:
the ways of storytelling,
creating content that keeps people interested and engaged
Securing sponsorships
Getting brand deals
Creating digital products
Travelling around the world
Setting up your company for the best taxes
Nomad’s visas
And more
So, by putting YOU in control of your freedom and creativity - you will be able to take better care of yourself, your family and maybe your community! You will build your own, beautiful content that will make you happy and get you where you want to be.
I am so, so happy that I have finally decided to make it happen and that I became brave enough to talk about it. (On a different channel, yeah, but still!) And I hope to guide you through the process of getting there. I’m gonna do my very best and all I’ll ask you throughout this is to stay committed… not to me, not to this website or whatever… just to yourself.
I will be releasing one video a week, some free pdfs, community polls and workbooks. I am planning on a podcast once we reach a threshold of subscribers, there will also be a newsletter and more.
No matter where on earth you are - I want to help you achieve this freedom.
So if you are up for it please consider subscribing, and commenting under my video, because comments help immensely with the algorithm on YouTube. Sign up to our mailing list for an extra newsletter that will include extra strategies (link in description) as well as news and reminders about the new episodes, strategies and more. Treat this channel more as a way to educate yourself. We’ll be working our way up from here. Also, use the comment section as a content ideas dump, so if there’s anything you’d like to learn - always feel free to comment. I am also having a dedicated Instagram on which I will be sharing some inspirational tips, books I am reading and much more, I am leaving the link in the description to the Instagram, so be sure to follow me there.
Thanks for being with me here and allowing me to help you grow. I will describe in the future how I went full-time as a creator, having only 12.000 subscribers, so I do know my stuff, very well. I have been a YouTuber and content creator since 2014 and I have learned from many, many mistakes. So let’s make sure you won’t make any of them!
Let’s do it!
