One Skill, Start To Posted.
You already have long videos. The course teaches the part between that video and a post someone can follow back to your link. Draft The lesson list may change before the course opens.
Module 1. The Model
From a long video to a link. You can draw the whole loop on one page, pick your route, and know how many hours a week it costs.
Module 2. Getting Permission
A yes in writing before the first cut: a message you can send today, what the yes should say, and where to keep it.
Module 3. The Script Decides
Find the 15 to 60 seconds in a long talk worth cutting, and pull a hook from words the speaker actually said.
Module 4. Editing That Adds Something
One finished clip with a hook, captions written for the clip, a clean cut and light color, in your own editing app.
Module 5. Posting And The Bio Link
A posting rhythm you can keep, the link in your bio, and an automatic reply that sends commenters there.
Module 6. Staying Safe
Disclosure the way the FTC and the platforms ask, and the habits that keep accounts alive.
Module 7. Tracking What Sells
Read an affiliate dashboard and say honestly what it can and can't tell you about which clip sold.
Module 8. More Creators, Fewer Hours
Add a second creator the same way, and know the done-for-you option exists when the hours run out.
For People Who Sell Something And Already Have The Videos.
It's for you if
- You sell a course, coaching, a product or an affiliate link, and you've got webinars, podcasts or lessons sitting unused.
- You'd rather learn the work once than pay someone every month.
It's not for you if
- You want a fast way to make money. This teaches a skill, and what you earn from it, if anything, is up to your offer and your work.
- You want to post other people's videos without asking. The course only teaches cutting footage you own, or footage a creator said yes to in writing.
- You'd rather not edit at all. That's what CSMax is for.

I'm John. I Edit Clips For My Own Pages.
I record and edit short clips for my own pages at john.m3d, and I'm building CSMax, a service that does this work for people, in public. When I cut about 30 clips for a book creator, it took me a full 8-hour day. Max Academy is how I'd teach you to do that day yourself. I won't tell you what you'll earn from it, because I don't know your offer, and anyone who tells you that before seeing it is guessing.

Keep The Hours. We'll Cut The Clips.
CSMax is the same work, done for you. You send the long video, we send back finished clips with captions and a hook, 2 free revisions on each, and you post them. Plans start at $25 a month for 30 clips Draft.
Before You Buy. Straight Answers.
We can't promise that, and you should be careful with any course that does. The course teaches you to turn your own long videos into clips that point to your link. Whether that leads to sales depends on your offer, your audience and how much you post, and you may earn nothing from it.
