BUILDING IN PUBLIC

Hi, I'm Richard.

I launched CreatorForge two weeks ago. Right now I have zero sales, zero followers, and no proof of concept — and I'm telling you that upfront, because that's exactly the problem with everyone else in this space.

I spent years in operations leadership at a car dealership and in tech sales. I know how to actually look after a customer. I know the difference between someone who genuinely wants to help you and someone who's just pointing you toward their next affiliate payout. I've been on the receiving end of the latter more times than I can count.

I've tried YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X, digital products, and dropshipping. I failed at all of them. Most people quit at that point. I didn't — not because I'm some special case, but because I believe the only real failure is stopping. Thomas Edison tried over a thousand times before the light bulb worked. I think about that a lot.

CreatorForge exists because I got fed up watching fake gurus talk about AI and online income while quietly making money off the people listening to them — not with them. They don't care if you make it. They care about the view count.

I do care. I want you to actually get somewhere.

So I'm building this in public. Every week I'll share the real numbers — page views, email signups, first sale (when it happens), what worked, what didn't. If something fails, I'll tell you. If something clicks, I'll show you exactly what it was.

This isn't a finished success story. It's the beginning of one — and you're welcome to come along for it.

— Richard, CreatorForge
