Implementing The Creator ā†’ Content ā†’Community ā†’ Commerce Framework:

  • Creators are now the face of billion-dollar brands and brand buy-in now starts at the creator level

  • Your obsessions are your content pillars and will serve as magnets to find similar people with similar obsessions

  • A true community is fostered by connecting not just communicating

  • A strong connections is fostered through community events, meetups, and activations

  • The best creator-led products are organically plugged into content without feeling pushed/promoted

Now, breaking it down piece by pieceā€¦

But Lemme Give You A Little Context

A very talked-about framework right now is: Content ā†’ Community ā†’ Commerce

But this is 75% of the way there. There is another C missingā€¦

Because it really should be: Creator ā†’ Content ā†’ Community ā†’ Commerce

Today, weā€™re breaking down Nick Bare who launched Bare Performance Nutrition, back in 2012 and grew it into a $50M+ supplement empire.

And A Quick Back Story

After stagnant sales growth from 2012 - 2016, Nick decided to get out of the US Army and go full-time on his business and his YouTube channel.

Fast forward to today, his YouTube channel has 1.1 Million subscribers and 150+ million views. Plus, his supplement company does a cool $50-60M in revenue.

This is a prime example of the Creator ā†’ Content ā†’ Community ā†’ Commerce Framework.

And hereā€™s how to execute itā€¦

1. Find Your Obsession

Nick Bare is a former Infantry Platoon Leader. He started the brand back in 2012 when he was earning a nutrition degree at University.

So training and nutrition? Yup, already a pillar in his life.

Which gave him the tools to create content around these topics.

2. Your Obsession = Your Content Pillars

Show, donā€™t tell.

Nick doesnā€™t make the typical ā€œhereā€™s how to get absā€ or ā€œget fitā€ videos.

Nickā€™s content pillar revolves around videos that take viewers on a hero's journey. Such as his marathon and Ironman training process.

So, instead of a one-off video that reaches new audiences - he created binge banks for new audiences to binge on.

Which accelerates the buy-in process. And expedites subscribers into fans.

3. Building a Superfan Community

Community is not measured by the number of subscribers you have, itā€™s by the number of fans.

Which brings me to the next point written by my good friend Ethan Brooks:

ā€œThe term "Community" is thrown around a lot today, especially in creator circles.ā€

For Nick Bare, this KPI is measured by:

  • Fans wearing merch

  • Fans tattooing BPNā€™s slogan ā€œGo One Moreā€

  • Fans who take the leap to ā€œGo One Moreā€

Which is an organic progression from fan to superfan.

Because the superfans are the ones who scale a community.

But hereā€™s the keyā€¦

To create a community like this, you need a few things:

A slogan sums up what you do but also ties the community together around one theme.

Nick Bare came up with the slogan ā€œGo One Moreā€ in 2018 and trademarked it which shows you how important it is to him.

And the slogan is cemented across all touchpoints from his videos, and merch, all the way to the teamā€™s sprinter van.

Why? To inspire and unite the community.

Because when someone has ā€œGo One Moreā€ on their T-shirt, theyā€™re identifying themselves as part of the Nick Bare Community.

4. Giving The Community A Home

For many, it could be YouTube or Discord.

For Nick Bare and BPN itā€™s organizing community events like the ā€œGo One Moreā€ marathon, run clubs, or activations to bring the community together.

Because a superfan community is not around your brand or product.

It's forged around shared values, a shared journey, and the collective commitment to "Going One More."

5. Create Products that Support Your Communityā€™s Obsession

The best advice I ever heard for launching a product?

If it doesnā€™t feel like a plugged product in your organic content then you picked the right product.

Which is exactly what Nick does.

He organically embeds the Bare Performance Nutrition products into his usual content, by showcasing how he personally incorporates the product into his daily routine, training regime, and goals.

So, hereā€™s the loop Iā€™m obsessing over:

  • The creator is the face and connection point

  • The content is the magnet pulling the right people into your world

  • The community converts subscribers into fans

  • The commerce gives the fans the same tools as the creator

Rabbit Hole Reads and Resources

Zero to ~20,000 Followers With 23 Videos

Can you imagine gaining 1000+ followers per video?

So, we just wrapped up our first Cut30 cohort last week. Where we run a short-form video bootcamp and teach you how to create effective and engaging videos. For both personal brands and businesses.

And one of our members, Hans Lorei, gained 18,300 followers in less than 30 days. And guess what? He didnā€™t have a single follower before Cut30.

So, if you want to learn how to:

  • Write, workshop, record, and edit videos

  • Create a content strategy

  • Organize a content calendar

  • Optimize your profile

  • And make video a recurring habit

Then you can join Novemberā€™s cohort by joining the waitlist here.

Always appreciate you reading. And Iā€™m sitting here waiting for those turkey recipes to flood my inbox.

Much love,
