Book a call: https://calendly.com/team-mindfulmindsco/discovery-call β€” I pulled every post on my book account for the last 12 months. 667 of them. 265 got under 1,000 views. That's 40%. The median post got 1,294 views. And I've done roughly $260,000 in book sales on TikTok Shop so far this year. 300 views isn't a punishment and it isn't a shadowban. It's the normal outcome. Only 3.4% of my videos ever cross 100,000 views β€” and those are the ones carrying the entire business. So in this video I pull up five of my own videos, worst to best, and we guess the numbers before I reveal them: - 452 views β€” a video that named nobody - 1,588 views β€” a video that did everything the advice says and still died - 20,000 views β€” nearly the same video, 12.6x the result - 245,000 views β€” the best like rate of the five, and the one I reused over and over - 4,800,000 views β€” my biggest ever, and the worst engagement of all five Then what I did with the winner: the same idea, remade again and again β€” 445K, 245K, 207K, then 863K, 427K, 72K. Three posts, 1.36 million views, one concept. And the thing that actually separates them, which isn't the length, the hashtags or the niche. It's what each video named: nobody, a diagnosis, a person, or a feeling the viewer was already having. If your videos are stuck at 300 views, it's almost always because you made a video about your book and pointed it at someone β€” instead of making a video about them. πŸ‘‰ Struggling with low views? Drop your handle in the comments and I'll make a video giving you no-BS feedback. It's going to be very public and I'm going to be brutally honest. Do it if you dare. TIMESTAMPS 0:00 400 views.

The third AI workshop taught by our legendary teacher, Nick Sarafa. In one of the last events we did an asset manager raised an additional Β£25M on their fund within a space of 9 months. This is a full-day hands-on training workshop for purposeful co-creation with AI using Claude Code. Imagine having access to hundreds of billions of dollars of computing power and knowing exactly how to make it work for you through the power of super intelligence. One person did.
