LET'S FORKIN GO

LET'S FORKIN GO by Tim Forkin Wrapping up January with my third weekly vlog — fully in a groove now. It's becoming habit to film all parts of my day and go deep into Sunday nights to finish these videos. This week we've got: Crafting and presenting social post ideas to clients Two rec league basketball games Jacob and Jesse urging me to get on a dunking program A weekend reunited with my best college buddies + much more After my first video popped and my second video flopped, I figured I had...

LET'S FORKIN GO by Tim Forkin Back with another vlog. This one took me all of Sunday to edit (not kidding) so I'd love it if you tapped in. I'm having a blast working at the new agency. Jacob and Jesse are hilarious and you'll see at the end of the video just how fun this work is. Coming up with social concepts for brands is a new skill for me. Writing my ideas, pitching them to the team, reviewing others' concepts, narrowing the posts down to a number, and then presenting to the client......

LET'S FORKIN GO by Tim Forkin Yes, that's right. As the calendar turned, I left my position as Content Producer at HeyCreator. I am eternally grateful for Darrell Vesterfelt plucking me off the internet to work at his companies. Working for him & Matt Ragland positioned me for a career in the creator/content space and I won't ever go back. It was such an awesome time, and I learned more than I could ever have guessed. What am I doing next? Well, for starters, my 2025 goals are: Publish 52...

LET'S FORKIN GO by Tim Forkin Forgive me if this already common knowledge or the basis of a book I haven’t read yet. But this idea for a newsletter came to me on a drive recently and completely took over my brain. It’s all I can think about. So here goes… The 5 W’s and H (who, what, where, when, why, how) are the six basic questions for gathering information. In the case of you, the creative person reading this newsletter, we use these questions to decide which work we want to take on. 3 of...

LET'S FORKIN GO by Tim Forkin This one’s going to be real transparent — and that’s the point. Over the past month or so I have completely changed my business, earning potential and predictable monthly revenue. This was unexpected. While I made the decision internally to start taking on client work a few months back, I hadn’t reached out to anyone asking if they were looking for video help. They asked me. Two projects fell into my lap in that moment, but they were one-offs. Like $750 total. I...

LET'S FORKIN GO by Tim Forkin I've been selling myself short calling myself a "video editor." Yes, I edit videos — but I also know what's good, what converts, and can work collaboratively with clients on their content. "Video editor" has become low-status, race-to-the-bottom work and those terms do not apply to the projects I've taken on recently. Right now I'm working on (what will become) the biggest podcast for newsletter creators hosted by a top name in the space, working on an incredible...

LET'S FORKIN GO by Tim Forkin Want to watch today's newsletter instead? Click here! The numbers on my channel don’t show it yet, but I’ve been making content and building on the internet for the past 15 years. There is so much I wish I would’ve known when I first started making videos. But I turned 25 last week — and as you can see, I’m looking gray, wiser than ever. My journey has brought me to partnerships with brands I use every day, editing for famous artists & athletes, all the way to...

LET'S FORKIN GO by Tim Forkin Last week I set out to answer one question: Where is video content for entrepreneurs going? It's become increasingly clear to me that this is the work I'm meant to do — working 1-1 with entrepreneur-creator types who want to crush with video content. Podcasts, vlogs, tutorials... packaging, production, editing... I'll eventually get more narrow, but right now literally 85% of my brain capacity goes towards seeing someone on video and trying my hardest not to send...

LET'S FORKIN GO by Tim Forkin Happy Monday. Let's FORKIN Go. I always say comments are the most important metric. So when Friday's vlog started to take off yesterday, I was really hoping the comments would follow. They have. In force. Here's some of the comments I woke up to this morning. Yesterday morning, the video had 63 views. As of writing, it's got 656 and not showing any signs of slowing down yet. But that number wouldn't mean anything without the comments. I'm finding it to be...
