If you’ve been struggling to stand out in crowded DM inboxes, you are not alone.
In this episode of Star Maker LIVE, I sit down with 20-year film industry veteran and creator of the No Set Path Substack, Drew English who has a solution.
Instead of relying only on plain text DMs that easily get ignored, Drew reveals a simple 46-second strategy to get your messages seen, 'read', and trusted on a much higher statistical level. In fact, he used this exact method on me, instantly accelerating the "know and trust" factor, which is exactly why we got together for this live stream!
We discuss:
The 46-Second Inbox Secret: The exact “anti-text” strategy Drew uses to bypass the noise of standard direct messages (and instantly inject his face and personality into his networking, without spending hours editing or setting up gear.)
Plus…
Surviving Creative Burnout: The raw reality of burning through cash as a musician, (and the “leap of faith” moment that shifted him into a two-decade career behind the camera.)
No Set Path: Why there are no rules to this creator game, (and why leaning into life’s curveballs is far more effective than trying to follow someone else’s blueprint.)
Avoiding the Guru Trap: Why Drew intentionally avoids slipping into “guru territory” (and chooses to build his business from the trenches, walking alongside his readers rather than lecturing them.)
Pushing Past “Unfounded Fear”: Drew’s honest confession about sitting on the sidelines watching others succeed, (and how he is actively pushing past the fear of judgment to test ideas, show up on camera, and grow his business.)
… and much more!
If you want to follow a creator who is truly in the trenches and just “one chapter ahead of you” on the path of a digital creator, be sure to subscribe to Drew’s Substack, No Set Path.
