    Kudos for the excellent storytelling and use of Social Network music. It does seem if one can 'crack reddit' that's a gateway to success if one has a good product.
    You did a Starter Story on the cold blanket guys even though you never met them. Have you ever considered doing a Starter Story on the RUclipsr 'Dream'? He cracked Reddit in his own way. There's a few vids out there on how he did it but I'm sure you could put a unique spin on it.

    I think there are no easy answers here. I tune in to each video you make but I don’t learn anything. I but i also don’t learn from meet Kevin, Graham Stephen, grant Cardone, Gary v and so on and so on. So please don’t take this as a negative comment. If you want the 4 he work week life then you must write the 4 hr work week book. If you want a million dollar business then you must launch something like starter story. I’m a novelist trying to build my own small publishing company writing my own brand of books called Prehistoric thrillers since 2009. There are just no magic bullets here. Money is tough to generate. I think at the core of it starter story stimulates the brains of us solopreneurs. It’s up to all of us to figure out how to make money online. Mike

    After watching your video, here's what I realiased.
    #1. Build your own audience so you have maximum control.
    (For those who don't have money to invest in email marketing that's something you should do)
    #2. That's done by answering questions and leading then your profile where they can follow instead of posting links.
    #3. After that, post your links on your on profile instead of on someone's group.
    That's something I'll do different and it does works.
