@ChrisDo
Any word on automatic access for Futur Pro Group members? While on the subject, I feel it's important to bring up that The Membership Dashboard lacks the organizational structure and functionality of the UA-cam channel playlists, making it difficult to find content. Other platforms, like Corridor Crew's Corridor Digital subscription, offer similar models with both free and subscription-based content on their website.
While the Pro Group calls in the Video Library are valuable, the UA-cam videos tend to be more concise and easier to digest. Also the Membership Video Library's tag-based organization differs from UA-cam's format of Videos, Shorts, Live, Podcasts, and Playlists. UA-cam allows viewers the ability to choose what to watch by video lengths, a functionality lacking in the Membership Dashboard.
Locking these more accessible UA-cam videos behind a paywall for Pro Group members, who are already supporting the Futur, is concerning. I already can't find the "Business Bootcamp: 2024" videos that are free on UA-cam, in the Pro Group Video Library.
I didn't mind the differences in both platforms before because UA-cam was always free. Now a small part of it isn't free but that could change as more content gets locked behind the paywall.
This video is a masterclass on having a frank conversation on the realities of costs associated with creating a world class UA-cam channel and growing to that next level
Frank and honest is so refreshing with all the spin everyone dishes out having to serve and justify systems that no longer serve us. Most systems are handy for only a short amount of time: until the next round of progress kicks in. We aren’t meant to endure capitalism or a two-party system or our current educational system, or job routines for anywhere near as long as we have! Kudos Chris for finding the road less travelled and not shying away from it but treading along with gusto…
Literally the first and probably the only channel I will ever support on youtube.
Thank you 🙏
Same
Same here! 🥹 I hope I can do at least the $15 membership to start. Thanks for all you and your time do Chris Do @thefutur 🙏 💕
💯 agree!
What ever you're selling, I'm buying Chris.
Haha. Appreciate it
This will be the first time I ever sign-up for a YT membership. That’s how much I believe in you, your team and the work that you are doing. I am grateful for all that you have done in service of others! 🙏
Wow, thank you!🙏
I can NEVER thank you enough for everything you've taught me, Chris.
You can count on my membership, forever.
Finding The Futur 7 or so years ago was a true turning point in the way I thought about my work as a designer, the value I can offer, and the money I can make.
It's easy to understand expressions like "aha moment" or "paradigm shift" but they're not something you often truly experience. Chris and The Futur are the reason I had at least a couple of life changing shifts over the past few years.
Loving this new approach and I hope it works for you and The Futur team! ❤
Young gun himself! Thank you Sharif
The quality of content and amount of value you guys deliver is unreal. Happy to support.
Thank you
Chris living his Ikigai. I'm all for it. Let's go team.
Lessgo
I will support to whatever limited affordability i can support to.
Today your this video is living example of what brand is what is emotional connection to the brand.
The brand the world one want to live in.
This is all in meta i am seeing it within me if you play close attention.
This is brand
Thank you Chris & the whole production team!
Your content is truly amazing and life-changing.
I am definitely a supporter and will rally more people to join in!
Thank you. That would take us closer to our goal.
My first and only youtube subscription, and didn’t even take me 10sec to decide. Thank you for your work!
Thank you so much! I appreciate your support
Just wanted to drop a big thank you for all the awesome content you're putting out!
I hope this will be a big step towards reaching another awesome level.
I Love You Guys ♥
Supporter here! 🙋♀️
I just recently purchased your book. Love the idea of moving forward. Hence, "the futur." 💙🙏
Thank you
Thanks thanks a lot Chris, I'll definitely join the membership once I'm able to. Glad you are candid and upfront about this.
Pat Flynn. Jay Clouse. Chris Do - you and the Futur definitely fit into that Community-based lineup that people would be happy to pay for a low signal-to-noise, higher level of access experience.
Yo Ryan! Thank you buddy.
Signed up!!!! Very affordable for the premium would have paid this a long time ago. Thank you Chris. Looking forward to learning more from you!!! It feels great to finally give back to you and your team!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you Kathie!
I have been following you for about three months now, and I really like what you do. You have my full support. Greetings from Egypt!
معجب جدا باعمالك و ليك كل الدعم - من مصر
Thank you 🙏
You know, man, I really like you and the whole team at The Futur. Over the past few months, I've focused hard and learned so much to kickstart my career. I am a motion designer but i learned a lot of business side. Unfortunately, in Egypt, it's tough to pay for things online with dollars. I can't pay right now, but I'll be starting as a freelancer next month, and then I'll be able to support you. Thanks so much, guys, and I hope this new strategy is a huge success for all of us 💜
Thank you 🙏
I've been part of the accelerator for almost a year now and it's been one of the most amazing thing I've done. This new model looks mighty appealing!
Glad to hear about accelerator
hey Chris, thank you a ton for all of your videos. I've been just quietly watching for a while because I'm still in the beginner stages of running my small project, but hopefully I can attend one of your seminars in person in the future! Much love form Canada! You are the captain!
Where in Canada?
@@thefutur Vancouver! Love your videos Chris!!!!
I can really get behind your idea here of a physical space. There are people that are on the edge of moving to California and I believe this existing would tip them over the edge. The 2018 version of me definitely would have. The content you can make based off of live case studies of the incubations you host will be absolute gold, and it creates such an opportunity for new ideas to spawn.
I'm already searching for a new space in the Pasadena area. the process has begun.
So much value on your channel! It’s a no brainer. ✔️ done. I’m not a designer anymore, but still an artist and content creator. I was just thinking - what can I buy from them? So this is perfect timing for me. Thanks for making your teachings so accessible.
Thank you 😊
My friend , you are the artist of this channel so you can decide any idea freely that you consider fruitful for your passion. 😊👍
Thank you
Your content is without question worth paying for. I benefitted tremendously from a few months of Accelerator until I lost my day job and had to leave. I cannot wait to find steady work again to have the funds to rejoin the program.
Sorry to hear about your job. Wishing you a bigger bounce back Jerry.
Chris, I am in! Thanks for all the amazing content.
My first time supporting a UA-cam channel, and I didn't hesitate one bit. You guys have consistently been an inspiration since my freshman year in college to now working full time for an agency.
Also, I have a vested interest in helping create something in the Pasadena area :D
We appreciate that! As soon as we get the space going members will be there first to know about it.
Awesome! Going to learn from you...
Thank you Hector
Been here from 2019, I think, and I'll always be inchallah
I learned a lot from you all, especially Chris, I'm still not doing so well financially, but I appreciate everything you do, and I'll support in any way I can 👍🏻
Thank you. let's get you on that path to success.
Get ready for your first Ecuadorian subscriber. And ir I'm not the first, I'll be the best
Yes!
Definitely love your content ! Myron Golden is definitely the man who can help with the Consultation Side. Boss Moves the book was extremely helpful as well.
I'm voting for Chris Do for president
Better than our options right now.
Dear Chris, I enjoy your content and learned a lot about marketing, sales, writing and making content. But, I am not a designer. I am a consultant in the Netherlands helping people and companies who are dealing with long term abseentism. You want to teach 1 billion designers, but there are only about 500.000 designers in the world. So, I it is logic that you stagnate. I will support you, because the value is in the proof of my business. Just know that we are not all designers.
My mission isn’t to teach only designers. It’s to teach 1 billion people how to make a living doing what they love. Our community is much bigger than just designers. Thank you for your support.
@@thefuturI like that - coz I thought you only teach designers
@@thefutur Happy to be a supporter
@@robienillosistoso628 We learned something today 😆
We help all creative entrepreneurs
Hey, thanks a lot for everything. You really changed the way I see things and helped me out a ton. I'm stoked that I can finally return the favor.
Thank you for your support
Chris you deserve all my support. So many learnings from you.
+1 member
Thank you 😊
Wonderful, happy to support. Love from India.
Thank you 🙏
Chris gives so much value, I wish Chris and the team at TheFutur that you also get value back. Your vision is so exiting!
Appreciate it
I'll not subsribe to the UA-cam channel, as I'm already member of the ProGroup … But I hope many others will do😉
This will be the first UA-cam Channel I will probably support.... This channel taught me a lot, in my designer career
Thank you for considering
1 $ for now...hope to do 15$ soon. Thank you all the valuable content.🥇📚🙌
Thank you for believing in our mission!
@@thefutur I truly do! You have a way of addressing people that reminds me of my grandmother: from the heart, with fairness, with respect, but the truth must be told. We go to church and pray for nothing if we don't have the courage to tell the truth and hide the mess under the carpet. Polite but always the truth. My grandmother was a peasant, barely finished 4th grade...but she knew how to get you on the right path without using force, intimidation..
I love you guys ❤ You're one of my most valuable inspirations.
Thank you 🙏
Let me in Please in to the member ship! On a commision to all projects I do :)
I want to support and be the part of the cimmunity.
You are my mentor for years now... Im so greatful for you existence!
Going for $15 ! Greatfull
Thank you so much for your support. We appreciate you.
It’s an absolute no-brainer!! 🤩🤩🤩
Thank you Robin
Love this for you guys! Hope you break through this ceiling and when i can i will definitely join the exclusive gangggg
Please do!
Happy to support your mission. Tier 2, Let’s go!!!!🔥🔥🔥
Thank you Haakon
Hey Chris.
Love the idea. I will support you and share with as many people as I can.
I think you are missing something as well regarding your courses. It might be a challenge because I don’t know how you pay your instructors.
But how about a subscription to get unlimited access to your community + the current course catalogue including future courses divided into 3 categories (beginners, intermediate, and advanced).
Patt Flynn has done something similar to this and I think it could work for you guys.
Noted
Thank you for the podcasts and UA-cam Videos, cheers to fantastic more years to come!
Appreciate it
you inspire me! thanks
Go the futur!
Best of luck!!
Thank you
I never thought I would ever support or join a channel, but here I am!
Really appreciate you
Everyone should take note on this is how it’s done! Have an honest conversation.
Thank you
Chris, can you tell us later what is the actual quantity of 1$ fans? I think should be more than 5%, cuz you've done for us a lot goood
Yes. I sure hope so
Just joined as a patron🎉 Thank you guys for all your hard work 🙏
Thank you 😊
That was the easiest decision I've made in a long time. $15/mo is nothing for the value I get from all the knowledge you share. Glad to be a patron and look forward to watching this new model grow.
Thank you so much 😊
thank you for sharing Chris. I learn from you. And James Clear🙏🙏🙏
I appreciate that!
The only channel I will support.
I got a lot of value from your content for FREE, and now will be supporting the channel, more than happily, from Pakistan.
Thank you 🙏
Definitely interested and can't wait to see how it turns out! How will this affect those of us who have previously bought courses and assets from the future?
you keep those courses and assets. this is a whole new thing we are trying.
Hey Chris,
The only dilema is how we can help you beyond just paying for a subscription model?
Being in events for 25 years I would like to contribute in any remote possible way ❤
Unfortunately, I can't be at you physical location (living in Europe), but maybe there is a way to promote Futur channel, except on social.
Think about affiliate business models or something similiar, so people can promote you and help you leverage even beyond subs.
I wish you and your team, all the best & great success!
Here is to many more years of Futur magical content 🙌
Cheers!
In person events in Europe is something I’d like to pursue. And we have affiliate partners for our products set up. Or were you thinking something else?
@@thefutur It would be great to organize in person events in (Central) Europe.
I was thinking about affiliate for subscription model, or some way of incentive if someone wants to reccomend your channel and content....something like that...
I'm not in working mode now though, and writing this proposals from the beach 😎
Already bought a few courses, but definitely worth a monthly $1 👍🏼
Thank you
I want to join! I went to art school and I've learned more here and with your courses more than 4 years of art school!
Thank you. 🙏
Thank you thefutur! ❤️ Soon will satart your Accelerator university 😎☀️🙌
Wonderful!
Reward based Crowdfunding.
Support based crowdfunding 😉
Mutual managed membership through web3 expressions.
Sounds good - I'm in! 😊
You're in!Thank you
Hopefully this goes well for you. I don't really know any youtube channel that has had much success transitioning to more paywall content on the platform. But I think with your target audience, it is a good choice to try it
we won't know until we try right?
@@thefutur true. Like Shakira says in Zootopia: "try everything".
Except for the weird stuff..
Of course it's worth it! ❤ Not hesitation!
Thank you Amitai
👌👌👌 We appreciate you
Thank you 😊
I'm in!😀
Appreciate it Ash!
I am grateful.
Thanks!
Thank you 🙏
Oh that sucks because I live in a third world country and there's no way I can make the payment. Turns out I was not the target audience anyway. But been a long time consumer and I would love to thank you and the team for the values you've given over the years Chris!
Appreciate your support either way. watching and commenting helps too.
As much as I am devastated that this decision has been made but its inevitable and I hope I will have the resources to support you guys more.
I just want to take this opportunity to THANK YOU guys for making use of this platform to offer straightforward and practical wisdom for people all over the world.
I have been watching yall from Sudan before th war broke out and these videos have really been helpful in my pr3cious job.
But after the war broke out and I was forced to be jobless for a year, I finally got to watching the videos again to start my own freelancing career and I have to say your videos help my ADHD brain. Especially that I can watch more than once.
Anyways I cannot wait till things get easier and clearer on my end where I can give back ❤
For many things you won’t see much of a change. Wishing you the best in your entrepreneurial pursuit.
Way to support the future im with it all the way !❤
Yes!
Im recommending my friends The Futur before getting their names xD Love you guys!
Thank you
Will ALWAYS support in any way possible! Such a far perspective!
Thank you Camilla.
Hey Chris. Invisible viewer since… 2017 i guess ?
Some feedbacks here :
TLDR :
• i ´ll pay 1$ for sure as much as I pay some twitch channel of people I know and dont Watch everyday
• i would pay 15$, but maybe not All along the year.
Long version :
• I’m watchkng your content by chunks : when im available mentally ans profesionnally, but also for for few months. Then I stop watchkng 6 months because im not intéresting by all the topics, or im too busy with my life.
•now I know how you teach and operate : with a well indexed content etc, i would pay some months for’sure when I need it.
Thanks for what you doing
Thank you for the feedback. Helps me to understand habits of our audience.
Wow, the new workshops system actually seem super cool
we'll be dropping some previously unavailable content soon.
I don't have the budget yet to fit a monthly membership but here's a super thanks to show my support anyway. 🎉
You're the best!
I want to give back to you Chris, for everything you've done for me.. unknowingly!
But I don't make much and I am in India ($ vs ₹ is 😢).
And till now I couldn't do anything meaningful.
Thanks for starting Tier 1 at $1.
I'll start with this and hopefully move to Tier 2 soon 🙂
Love you & Thank you ❤️
Thank you 😊
We got you Chris!
Thank you!
Camera and lens that you used? Video quality was fire.
Can you make an option to donate money to you too?

Lovely. We'll be ready when it's available.

For now, you can access through desktop only
Thank you. Saw it the newsletter too
i watch for 80% entertainment 20% learning
I have learned a lot from Chris and Mike over the years but the main problem I see with the Futur business is that it’s core audience/customer are mostly agency creatives looking to build something of their own like Chris has done. That is a VERY SMALL niche of people and most of them do not have the financial flexibility to pay for the type of content and experience that the Futur is offering. This is another case of a creator believing that production value matters. The best Chris Do video I watched was him talking about IG carousels and it was just him, a whiteboard and a camera on a tripod. If Chris can recapture that magic again, then the Futur has a bright future ahead. Wish you guys all the best.
Thanks for sharing. We're not asking for much you can support with $1 per month or $15 per month to get exclusive content. We think that's reasonable for the what we're providing.
Damn Drigo and Mo with their high consultancy fees 🤣 - Great idea Chris, I'm sure this model will take off. I'm in.

Nice, is this model available on IG? I feel like I consume more of your content through IG rather than YT.
