Everywhere you look, you see brands and entrepreneurs with huge follower counts, tons of engagement, and big libraries of content.
When they give a sneak peek of their annual revenue, their making hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars a year.
But when you compare it to what you have and how you're performing, you just can't believe that this is possible for you, too.
You wish you knew the exact steps these solopreneurs took, and all the tools they used, and the systems that helped them become so successful. You want to know how, so you can do it too.
Don’t you wish you could have just seen how they did it right from the beginning?
Well, now you can.
Building a Brand From Absolute Zero (And Documenting Every Step)
I'm building a brand called "California Digital Nomad" completely from scratch
zero followers
zero subscribers
zero content
Just a logo and a banner.
And I'm documenting EVERY SINGLE STEP of the process.
Why?
Because I want to show what it ACTUALLY takes to build an online business around your brand from nothing in 2025.
This is day one of what will be a 1-2 year journey that I'm sharing as an ongoing documentary series.
You'll see everything
the wins
the failures,
the process of building it from scratch
the moments of "what the hell am I doing?"
Everything
What I'm Building Using 5 Simple Marketing Strategies
California Digital Nomad will focus on outdoor exploration across California. I'm creating content across multiple platforms:
YouTube channel showing my road trip adventures and exploring National Parks
Newsletter with deeper insights and exclusive content
Social media presence across major platforms— X (Twitter), Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and TikTok
The goal of this brand is to build an audience passionate about outdoors, exploration, and weekend road trip adventures.
And eventually, I’ll look at monetization opportunities through ads, sponsorships, and possibly membership communities.
I’m going to use a simple 5 step funnel to build this business, the same 5 steps I teach in my marketing blueprint.
The Raw, Unfiltered Reality
What makes this different is that I'm not pretending I have it all figured out. You'll see me:
Creating content outdoors, to show you don’t need an office to make it work.
Setting up all the social media accounts with no audience, starting from zero.
Testing different content strategies to see what resonates
Making mistakes and pivoting when things are not working out.
Using all the latest creator tools, which are available to anyone.
In my latest video, I literally sat in my car at a park and created all my social media accounts right there. No fancy equipment, no team, just me and laptop.
Why Should Entrepreneurs Follow This Journey?
If you've ever thought about building your own brand or business but felt overwhelmed by the process, this series is for you. I'm proving that:
You don't need special connections
You don't need expensive gear
You don't need to be "special" in any way
What you DO need is consistency, willingness to learn, and the courage to just get started.
I'll be sharing everything that works (and doesn't work) so you can apply these lessons to your own business. This will be a live case study in brand building for 2025 and beyond.
It will be the exact framework you can apply to your own business so you can build it up using all the same marketing strategies, tools & software, AI, and management systems.
