If you don’t use it. Start. This isn’t a blog to teach you about how to work with ChatGPT or different prompts you can use to help better your workflow. I use to use ChatGPT every day (especially When I Was First Building ChannlerG), usually I keep the same conversation going with it so it can remember my style and brand and voice. So today, I decided to ask, “After all this, the conversing, the site, the real estate, the
If you’ve been following along, you already know ChannlerG isn’t just a blog, it’s a business, a community, and a place to build something real. But now that the foundation is set, what’s next? This post is a roadmap of what’s coming. The topics I’ll be covering, what I’m building behind the scenes, and how I’m going to turn all of this into something sustainable. If you’re here for gaming, business, real estate, self-improvement, or just want to follow the
I used to think all my random hobbies and side hustles meant I couldn’t focus. Sneaker flipping. Real estate. Gaming. Streaming. Affiliate marketing. Selling random stuff online. Obsessing over analytics for absolutely no reason. At some point, I realized something: None of it was wasted. It all kind of accidentally trained me for what I’m doing now. That realization helped me stop feeling so behind all the time. Some links may be affiliate links, meaning I may earn a commission
If you had told me a few years ago I’d be sitting here writing blogs on my own website, obsessing over analytics, tweaking headings, and trying to turn gaming, blogging, and marketing into an actual business… I probably would’ve laughed and gone back to getting destroyed in Call of Duty. Yet, here I am. Building ChannlerG has been one of the most fun, frustrating, confusing, rewarding things I’ve ever done. Not because I knew what I was doing. Because I
Before I had kids, gaming was simple. I played what I wanted, when I wanted, for as long as I wanted. If I wanted to spend an entire Saturday chasing a camo grind in Call of Duty or exploring some massive RPG world, nobody cared. Then I became a parent. And suddenly, gaming looked completely different. Not because I stopped loving games. Because I started seeing them through a different lens. Now I’m not just thinking about what I’m playing.
A few years ago, if you told me Katie would have her own PlayStation 5, voluntarily spend her free time gaming, and occasionally carry our Fortnite squad, I would’ve laughed. Not because she hated gaming. She just wasn’t a gamer. That was my thing. Now? It’s become one of ours. Some links may be affiliate links, meaning I may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. These are games and gear we’ve genuinely enjoyed. It Started With the
I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want a viral post. Of course I do. If one of my clips randomly pulls a million views tomorrow, I’m not exactly deleting it out of principle. But the longer I build ChannlerG, the more I’m realizing something: Going viral and building a brand people trust are not the same thing. One gets attention. One creates momentum. A lot of creators confuse the two. Why Virality Feels Better Than It Really Is
When most people think about gaming, content creation, or online business, they picture big cities. Los Angeles. Dallas. Atlanta. Somewhere with giant conventions, esports organizations, and creators everywhere you look. Probably not Springfield, Missouri. I used to think that mattered. I thought being in the Midwest was a disadvantage. That if I wanted to build a brand around gaming, content creation, and business, I needed to be somewhere bigger. Now I think the opposite. The Internet Changed Everything The reality
