Got a video with 14k views! This win was before I started CUT30, but still feels relevant to share as it might help someone else in here, especially designers/creatives. For this video, I designed a running shoe concept for Zach Pogrob. I love Zach, and I love Saucony, so when I saw a post of Zach running in them, I got the idea of doing a concept collaboration between the two. This is me using the idea of permissionless work, creating something of value for someone else without asking for anything back. The video gave Zach the opportunity to post to his story with the text 'I'm ready whenever you are Saucony.' So the post had the potential to actually land him a collab. I basically gave him a lay-up. The video currently has 14k views, which is my most by far. I've also seen this work for other creators. Kweinbydesign got 7.1 million views on a video doing a concept for The North Face. I think she even landed a job there. She has been absolutely smashing it. So if done correctly, doing permissionless work and sharing it can do wonders.

1KPosted 27 reels in 30 days; one hit 126K views, gained 1,110 IG followers + 900 TikTok; customers recognized her in person
Cut30 is easily best in class. You guys really over-delivered. And you know, I hate most things, and I loved this :) (well, most things are hype-y or disappointing and this was neither). I also particularly respond well to being told what to do. "Can follow directions well," my report card would say. Cuz for me, too much navel-gazing about 'authenticity' is a recipe for inaction, as far as I'm concerned. In the last month, I posted 27 reels, have one with 126K views (and still growing daily), gained 1110 net followers on IG, and ~900 on TT. People come into the bakery saying they've seen me online. I go out to eat and people recognize me. It's the largest change imaginable in 30 days. Onwards ... (and merci).

Cut30 is the truth. The coaches are actual practitioners sharing what's working right now, and the daily feedback gives you a clear picture of exactly where you need to improve. It's a 30 day content gauntlet that helped me simplify, stop overthinking, and see the ideas that were right in front of me that I was missing. My favorite part, the slack community makes it feel like a team sport. I recommend this program for friends who are posting their first video and others who have been making content for a decade (and when they act like they know it all I remind them that Steph still has a shooting coach!). This should be an annual refresh for anyone who nerds out about content.

1MFirst 1M-view video was a brand partnership; all previous branded content was under 10K views
My first 1M-view video of 2026 is a brand partnership, a huge leap for me, considering all of my previous branded content struggled to cross 10k views. Two major factors unlocked this growth: We aligned the narrative with the final week of the BNP Paribas tennis tournament, riding the wave of existing search and social momentum. I actually took a week-long vacation right before this. Stepping away from the daily pressure to produce content allowed me to return with the clarity needed to execute.

Thought this one was going to be a fail because I made a few mistakes with the editing and timing, but it's actually doing ok! Very slow growth to start but I'm seeing lots of progress. All this to say, this program is amazing and I've been learning a lot from you guys, so thank you! I found a niche that I wasn't planning on even posting about. I wanted to focus on my concept designs, but honestly this has been a really cool learning process.

After doing Cut30 and posting content back in March, I was able to get a new job as a strategist at an agency and also got my first brand deal with COMPLEX, making some greenscreen videos. I still only have 400 followers, but to anyone in here grinding, it really puts into perspective you never know who's watching! It was complete silence, then it felt like everything happened at once. Thank you Cut30.

Cut30 breaks down the formats that work on social, which makes the entire creation process from ideation to publishing much more approachable. Even though I didn't publish regularly throughout the 4 weeks, the calls, classes, and feedback helped me clarify some things I had knocking around in my head for a long time creatively. Which made it well worth the investment!

We just had our first customer sign up who said she heard about us from Instagram! We've only been getting a few hundred views on our videos there, so I can't wait to see what happens when we really get our content working. We have a premium-priced product too, so I'm really surprised that we didn't even have to nurture them in our email list for a while.

500Grew from 0 to 500+ IG followers in 30 days; one video hit 50k views on IG
After 30 days of daily posting to a pre-defined niche (fashion industry), I passed 500 followers on IG starting from zero, had one video hit 50k views on IG and two others hit 20k views on TikTok. About 50% of my videos on IG are hitting at least 1.5-2k views, and I feel like I have a better handle on how to write an effective script.

Before Cut30, I was posting randomly, maybe once a week, with no real system. My following had plateaued and I wasn't really posting consistently to my channels. After the course, my combined following across Instagram and TikTok grew by 40K. I'm now posting five times a week consistently and it only takes me two to three hours. I never stress about what to post. Generating ideas used to be a blocker for me but now it's a lot easier with the pillars strategy. More importantly, I have a much deeper understanding of brand and marketing strategy. I'm capturing awareness at the top of the funnel and converting that into customers. Cut30 gave me clear systems and frameworks I use every week, and that's directly helping me turn my side business into my full-time career. If you're posting inconsistently and feel like you're flailing without a real strategy I highly recommend it.
Greg@flock_mfg87.7kfollowers
Cut30 absolutely nailed this course on the first try. The content, inspo, and resources in the notion were all super helpful and would've been worth the cost just for that. But besides that, the guys give you personalized, specific, and actionable feedback on every video you post in the video sharing channel. So you're able to level up extremely fast. They should be charging a lot more than they are for the value they're providing. My 8th post got over 500k views, drove $20k+ in sales for my business, and landed us a spot in a GQ gift guide. None of that would've been possible without Cut30.

Can I just say how impressed I am with the level of value and support being offered in this course? Beyond applying it to my business it feels like a legit life hack to be learning this stuff from people on the bleeding edge of it who are seeing success and sending the elevator back down. I get that it's a business, but it's not like all businesses operate with this level of generosity of spirit. It's obvious you guys are passionate about teaching this stuff and motivated by something deeper than money, and I appreciate y'all for doing what you do.

I've been posting relentlessly for the last two months, have gained some traction on TikTok, but on IG I couldn't crack 3k views. This one from last night took off and is at 19k views. Literally just following all the small tweaks from the course: solid hook with a specific detail to catch people's attention, really polishing the script to only include essential details, trying to tie things together to keep the story alive, and good keywords with a few hashtags for SEO. Focus on fundamentals and good stuff will happen!

Thank you to everyone who gave great feedback and coaching this Cut30. I have wanted to participate in this for a long time and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Top notch stuff as expected. It was great to see how everyone grew over such a short time. I started posting every day in July, and it took until about November to really start seeing results. Going from 300 views a video to what I'm seeing in the last 90 days has been a wild ride for me. I hope to use the tools I learned here to keep improving and growing.

Hello from Knees Up in Hackney London (had to check it out after you talked about it <@U05V85B13UY>) Earlier this week there was a coffee shop pop up here called Flat White or F*ck Off that started with an idea Rory Sutherland shared on a podcast and turned into a clever idea. I stopped by and ended up creating a fun video about on the fly - it's over 50k views now and has more views than any of the other videos about it - <https://www.instagram.com/matthaze/reel/DUDNoUJCG_X/>

My IG had flatlined with views 50/50 followers to non-followers. I wondered if it was an IP issue from starting my account in Jamaica, so I had a friend start me a new account in the USA. I just started posting my old stuff there, and it's popping off already. I have more followers after 4 days than I got in 4 months before. Given the size of my niche I'm quite happy with views in the thousands for now, and 3 of my vids are already around 10k in 4 days.

I loved this cut30 session, and learned SO much. The feedback is terrific but one of things I loved about this class is how very patient you are with all of us, and how careful you are to make sure we get the pep talks we need. I especially appreciate your generosity in office hours, where I learned a ton from my own questions and others. I hope I get the opportunity to take cut30 again in the future and keep learning from the crew.

This post was my first carousel style. Made it pretty quick and not totally happy with the quality, and the pregnant picture of my wife put me in the dog house for the foreseeable future. Next try I will work a bit more on the story, images, and new rule is I always ask first before posting pics of the wife. That being said, it got solid engagement on IG even though the views weren't crazy: 5k views, 350 likes, and 64 comments.

Hit almost 300K views on my personal brand account in the last month. Majority came from 5 videos (150K, 60K, 20K, 20K, 10K). The views feel validating, though they're a bit scattered since my brand hasn't been focused enough yet. All green screen format so far, haven't cracked other formats. But I think I figured out a theme to focus on, so we'll see if I can get more cohesive success next month.

The community and communication inside are genuinely inspiring. CUT30 is truly my lovemark!

I got exactly what I was looking for! Clarity on what I need to be posting and focusing on. I'm excited to create content again because I have an actual plan. It also pushed me outside my comfort zone to try new formats and find what I'm really good at. Highly recommend it! I feel like I got way more value doing this over hiring a social media manager. I'll definitely be doing round two!

The last 30 days have been insane and it's directly attributable to Cut30. Admittedly I took a few cohorts to stick with it, procrastinated a bit… but the sauce is there, you just need to trust the process and stay hyper consistent. Post daily if you can. Iterate often. Look at your data. The followers and views are great but the leads and calls from this are even better!

15k in 8 hours. Instagram definitely likes the non-hook version more. It's so weird because TikTok hates them with passion, they rarely break 300 views. Speaking of TikTok, the hook version broke 1k views. It's a small win, but until I figure out a series that would work for my designs and be more human-oriented, it's a huge win on TikTok for me.

Cut30 was the catalyst for creating hype and demand for my early stage product. Because of their frameworks I created two videos that each hit over 2M views. Those videos brought my 3-month-old company so much attention that we sold out in our first 4 drops. Our yearly run rate is now $2.02M. Cut30 was a total game changer.

Small content win, my copywork video did better than my other 30 cut vids. I think it's mainly because of the topic since everyone on the net is talking about 'what is true luxury.' I got the topic idea from a recent video, since I own truffle dogs in Italy. So idk if it had anything to do with editing or hooks.

Cut30 helped me find my groove. Went from 1,800 followers to 2,800 in a month. Now I'm closing in on 90K.

I hit my first 10k view carousel on TikTok. It was entirely AI generated, including the caption. I used creator insights, pressed the little camera next to the search term, and dropped the video. The post got a ton of saves but not a lot of followers. Interesting that it flopped on Instagram.

My results are too good not to share. Across TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram, my content reached over 4.1 million views and helped drive a 39% increase in website sales, while posting an average of just 1.7 times per day. Cut30 kicks ass. And I’m still not even that good at this yet.

I got my first 1M+ view video thanks to Cut30! But views weren't the big outcome for me; it was the accountability and bias toward action to just keep hitting publish even if my shorts sucked. Been publishing 1x a day for almost 2 months now and results have been massive!

The one I posted about last week went on to do 106k views (still going), but just had another one cross 42k on IG and 22k on TT! I'm finding the pattern of proposition → narrative device (fictional conversation or historical anecdote) → explanation really crush for me!

A lot of us are building stuff by ourselves. No community, no feedback on how to level up on social using what's working NOW. Cut30 gives you both immediate feedback and a community of likeminded builders to build with. Highest possible recommendation.

I'll be on national television this weekend! The Swedish PGA Tour broadcast team asked if I could do a 5-7 minute segment about what's trending in golf. I'll be discussing with the commentators why golf is growing through new types of golf fashion.

Coolest part about this post is I took my yap feedback and was ruthless with editing. Better hook, exact PGA players for social proof, hard stance 'you're a fool if you don't try'. I feel like I followed the formula and got a good result.

This is an IG carousel post and not a video, so it behaved more like a middle of funnel piece to fuel community/affinity building. As expected, only reached existing followers BUT we got 44% engagement, and I'll take that win!

Just crossed 50k views on video 5 of cut30! Been working hard on visual hooks and overall presentation for these videos for the last few weeks. Super grateful for everyone and your feedback. Just trying to make it a habit now.

Used some of the things from here to help with the hook, edit, and on-screen caption hook for this video. It's somewhat of an ad because it's an announcement for a tournament series we're starting locally... but it's ripping.

Decided to use my NYE holiday posts as testing grounds for Cut30's lessons. Both carousels performed really well for my page. The hook in the first led to a lot of debates, while the food post has high forwards and saves.

I remembered the advice about relevance and timeliness for content and did a one-shot with some humor about the winter storm here in Texas. This is my biggest TikTok to date, and it's closing in on 20K views on IG too!

This is invaluable. It's an absolute steal to get immediate feedback on content. Whether you're brand new to content (or even advanced and what to see where you're missing gold in plain sight). Highly recommend.

I've only done a handful of reels over the entire time I've been on IG. Most of them are < 100 plays. So these numbers (424, 181, 181) are a huge win for me. Thanks for all the advice, learnings, and support!
