This week, I got featured on a Times Square billboard.

Seeing myself up there sparked so many emotions.

Back in 2020, I and my team launched the Part-Time YouTuber Academy.

We needed somewhere to host it.

We chose Circle and suddenly I was no longer broadcasting content into the void.

I was facilitating conversations and connections.

Slowly the community became just as valuable if not more than the course content itself.

Most creators believe content is the be-all and end-all.

But being a creator myself, I know it’s not enough.
People don’t just need information.
They need connection.

In our Circle community, great things happened:
↳ Students became accountability partners
↳ They started hosting their own meetups
↳ They started collaborating on projects
↳ Some even become business partners

You can’t get that from content.

You can’t get that from any course.

You can only get that from community.

Over 5 years, I’ve watched complete beginners become full-time creators.

Not just because of the course, but because they had people supporting them every step of the way.

When Circle put me up on Times Square, it was surreal.

But it also reminded me why we’ve stuck with them.

They understand what I’ve learned the hard way.
Community isn’t a nice-to-have for creators.
It’s the whole point.

All of our courses are now hosted on Circle.

And honestly, I can’t imagine building anything educational without it.

If you’re a creator or educator not building a community, you’re missing one of the most fulfilling parts of online business.

We’ve been using Circle for 5 years and it just works.

Thank you Circle for sponsoring this post. #ad

I've uploaded 800+ YouTube videos since 2017.

But it took me 7 years to upload my first video.

I kept saying “this is the year” and still didn’t hit publish.

Not because I didn’t want it enough.

But because I thought I wasn’t ready.

I thought I needed the perfect plan - that if I waited and prepared for long enough, I'd feel ready.

The truth is you never feel ready.

800+ uploads later, I still fall into that trap sometimes.

But I just start with whatever I’ve got and figure it out as you go.

If you want to start a YouTube channel but don’t know where to begin, I’ve put together a free 7-day crash course to help 👉https://lnkd.in/eABvRfTi

This almost stopped me from starting YouTube

Founder at INCLUS | Helping Organizations Achieve Growth Through Great Inclusive Product Design

We help consumer brands unlock the power of inclusive design to reach diverse audiences, create meaningful impact, and stay ahead of the competition.

If you’re anything like the brands we work with, you’re committed to innovation and delivering accessible products.

But there’s a challenge: your products may not be reaching everyone they could.

You want to design solutions that resonate with all audiences, opening up untapped opportunities and ensuring no one is left behind.

By embracing inclusive design, you can:

- Expand your customer base
- Build brand loyalty with diverse audiences
- Future-proof your product portfolio
- Enhance your reputation as an industry leader
- Make a lasting social impact

We help our clients do just that through our Inclusive Solutions Service by:

1️⃣ Assessing the accessibility and inclusivity of their products designs.
2️⃣ Testing with real, diverse users from our community (4000+ members) to uncover hidden barriers.
3️⃣ Creating innovative, inclusive solutions that work for as many people as possible.

And we’ve got the results to back it up:

🚀 Designed solutions that are estimated to reach over 280,000 consumers in the past year 
🚀 Helped brands break into previously untapped markets
🚀 Enabled measurable improvements in user experience and brand perception

Don't just take it from me as well:

"Since working with Inclus, there is a wider understanding of inclusive design practices and the increasing need for this. Working with Rob is an opportunity you will not regret" - Ladi, Consultant at Alchemmy.

Inclusive design isn’t just the right thing to do—it’s the smart thing to do.
