You have 2 days to read this Message Issue #14

This week the first season of Orbit wrapped with a Studio Tour of the Orbit Headquarter! The reactions so far have been incredibly positive and I’m starting to see all the effort pay off. But that begs the question what’s next? That’s something to reveal at the start of 2024 but for now, I've got a time-sensitive message just for you. Thank you for Reading Valentin

Show Your Space

To express my gratitude, I'm thrilled to announce a special giveaway – a thoughtfully curated toolkit with essential items I use every day. To participate, create a 30-60 second vertical video showcasing your creative space and what makes it work for you. Share it on TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube Shorts and tag @OrbitForCreators, and use the hashtag #AhomeForCreators. Share it before Monday 8 am CET for a chance to win the Orbit Creator Starter Kit. Filled with: An A5 Rhodia Dot Grid notebook, made in France, a dual-tip Sakura pen, Rick Rubin’s must-read “The Creative Act,” and of course, an Angelbird V90 128GB SD card plus a professional card reader to make downloading a breeze.

I’m excited to see your spaces. Just remember to create and publish your video before Monday Dec. 4th 8 am CET.

Is it too late to start a YouTube channel?

Jay Alto, the Thumbnail Mastermind, shares his perspective on how to stand out in a crowd of endless content. On the surface, it seems that there is no way anyone has a chance of gaining attention in competition with all the established content creators out there. Even if it seems impossible, the solution to it is quite simple. You have to find and highlight what makes you remarkable, what makes you a purple cow and gives people something to talk about?

So what is one thing that makes you stand out; you could double down on?

The Reality of being a YouTuber

It’s the first time I’ve seen a video that captures the emotions of a creator on this trajectory rather than the numbers and facts. Surprisingly it manages to do this by just using stock footage and brilliant sound design.

So if you ever wanted to experience what it’s like to grow a channel from idea to a large audience, this video is a must-watch.
