Hi, I’m Danny — a video editor who used to feel completely stuck.
A year ago, I was grinding nonstop, earning around two or three thousand dollars a month, and constantly chasing the next freelance project. I had skill, I had clients, but I didn’t have a system. Nothing about my income felt predictable or scalable. I was doing good work, but I wasn’t running a business — I was just surviving project to project.
That changed when I joined Otavio Zerbini’s Creator Monetize program.
Where I Started
Before joining, I had been hovering at the same income level for almost half a year. I believed my product — video editing for creators and entrepreneurs — was good. My clients were happy, but my business wasn’t growing.
I didn’t know how to position my service, build an offer that sold itself, or attract clients who valued my work. Everything felt random. I’d post online, wait for messages, and hope something came through.
When I came across Creator Monetize, it immediately stood out. It wasn’t just another “how to make money online” course. It was a business-building system for creators — designed by people who actually walk the talk.
The First Breakthrough
I joined the program and started implementing everything step-by-step.
In the first 30 to 35 days, I began to see results. I applied Otavio’s framework to refine my niche, rebuild my offer, and fix my sales process. Suddenly, clients started saying yes without hesitation.
Then, one week in May, everything clicked — I made $10,000 in a single week.
That was the moment I realized this wasn’t luck. It was a repeatable system.
How the Program Works
What impressed me most about Creator Monetize was the hands-on support.
Otavio Zerbini and his team — Harrison and Axel — didn’t just hand me a bunch of videos and disappear. They worked with me directly. If I got stuck, they were there. When I had questions, I didn’t wait days for a reply. They responded quickly, helped me troubleshoot, and guided me through each stage.
Otavio personally reviewed my funnel and pricing structure. Harrison helped me craft my messaging so I could clearly communicate my value to clients. Axel showed me how to use automation tools to save hours every week.
That level of involvement was beyond what I expected. Most coaching programs feel distant, but this felt personal — like having a real team behind me.
From Freelancer to Business Owner
Four months later, I had completely transformed how I worked.
I went from an overwhelmed freelancer to the owner of a structured, profitable business. My revenue scaled past six figures annually. I started getting so many client inquiries that I had to turn projects down.
But the biggest shift wasn’t just financial — it was mental.
I stopped thinking like a contractor and started thinking like a Creator CEO, exactly what Otavio Zerbini teaches. My business finally had systems, predictability, and a growth plan.
What I Learned From Otavio Zerbini
Otavio doesn’t just teach marketing; he teaches how to build leverage.
He showed me how to create offers that solve a specific problem for a specific audience — and how to communicate that value with confidence. I learned how to design funnels that attract qualified leads automatically, how to close deals ethically, and how to price my work in a way that reflected the results I delivered.
Even as someone who already knew YouTube and video production inside out, I realized there was a massive gap between creative skill and business skill. Creator Monetize closed that gap for me.
Real People, Real Results
What gave me even more confidence in the program was seeing other members win too.
I wasn’t alone — I was surrounded by creators from every niche, all scaling their businesses through Otavio’s system.
- Sarah, a freelance copywriter, doubled her revenue in six weeks by restructuring her client onboarding process.
- Mason, a personal trainer, went from struggling to pay bills to earning over $8,000 per month using the same funnel structure I learned.
- Lydia, a designer, replaced her full-time job income in just three months by implementing the Creator Monetize strategies.
These weren’t overnight miracles. They were people applying real systems and getting real results.
What Makes Creator Monetize Different
There’s a reason I recommend Creator Monetize to other freelancers and creatives. It’s not a course — it’s a transformation.
Here’s what sets it apart:
- Personal Involvement — Otavio and the team actually care. They’re hands-on, engaged, and invested in your progress.
- System-Driven Growth — You don’t guess; you follow proven frameworks that compound over time.
- Community Energy — You’re surrounded by ambitious creators who push you to level up.
- Real Business Education — You learn the foundations of sales, funnels, and audience growth — skills that last forever.
They don’t promise overnight success; they teach you how to build something that lasts.
How It Changed My Life
Today, my business looks nothing like it did when I started.
I run a thriving video editing agency helping other creators scale their brands. I’m booked out months in advance. I’ve built automation systems, added team members, and finally have control over my time.
But more than that, I have clarity. I know where I’m going, how to get there, and which levers to pull when I want to grow.
That’s the power of Otavio Zerbini’s Creator Monetize program — it gives creators the blueprint to build a real business around their passion.
Final Thoughts
Looking back, joining Creator Monetize was the single best decision I’ve made in my career.
If you’re a creator, coach, or freelancer who feels stuck — like you’re working hard but not seeing real progress — this program can change everything.
It taught me that success isn’t about working more hours; it’s about working with structure, confidence, and purpose.
Otavio Zerbini and the Creator Monetize team helped me turn my creative skill into a scalable business, and for that, I’ll always be grateful.
I started this journey as a video editor. Now, I’m a business owner.
And that’s something I never thought I’d be able to say.
