Hey, I’m Aldis.

AdTech exec. Personal brand builder.

I help founders and creators stop wasting traffic and start turning it into leads.

I’ve spent 13+ years in advertising and tech, working with some of the world’s biggest agencies, publishers, and AdTech startups.

On the side, I built a personal brand from scratch.

But it wasn’t until I created a 5-day Educational Email Course that things really clicked.

Now I help others do the same by turning all that attention you’re earning into a system that:

• positions you as the expert
• builds your email list
• and drives business

Want to see how it works?

SaaS Account Executive

I Helped a solopreneur conquer 'imposter syndrome', launched their podcast in a 6-week sprint (6 episodes!) I host a podcast called 'Social Dream Machine' focused on the monetization of the creator economy.

ABOUT VIDEOGHOST:

I'm Jeremy Thone, and I help entrepreneurs and stop hiding behind text posts and start building trust through authentic, story-driven video.

I've had short videos pull 500K views and posts hit 50K on LinkedIn. Not because of fancy cameras or production budgets—because of story structure that stops the scroll.

Your competitors are already on camera. Every day you wait is a day someone else becomes the voice in your space.

WHAT I DO:

I produce story videos under 60 seconds that generate inbound leads. No stiff scripts. No fancy studios. Just you, your story, and a structure that converts.

I also full-produce podcasts from start to finish. My clients just show up for a recording on Riverside.fm. They provide the artwork, and I handle everything else—editing, titles, show notes, and uploading to Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube.

I hang with professional writers and creators to study frameworks and story technique. Because if you can sell a good story, you can find investors, close clients, and attract high-paying work.

THE PROCESS For Story Videos:

Recording Session (30 minutes via Riverside.fm): I identify your core story, build a compelling narrative structure, and shape a hook that resonates with your audience. Your first video is free in exchange for a review.

Guided Recording: I walk you through interview-style prompts designed to pull out authentic stories. It's easier to talk when you're having a conversation—it's less performative. No teleprompter, no performance anxiety. Just genuine conversation that brings your expertise to life.
Clean Editing & Captions: I remove the "ums," awkward pauses, and rough spots, then cut it down to a tight sub-60-second micro-story. I add captions so your story connects even when viewers are watching on mute.

For Podcasts:

You record. I produce. You get published on all major platforms without touching the tech.
WHO THIS IS FOR:

Corporate escapees, coaches, consultants, and solopreneurs who know they need to be visible but keep overthinking it. You have the expertise. You just need someone to help you package it into video that actually converts.

WHY I ACTUALLY GIVE A SH)T:

Text posts get skipped. Stories get clients. Trust isn't built in a LinkedIn bio—it's built in 60 seconds of watching someone who gets it. I'm not here to take your money and disappear—I'm here to help you win.

My CEO wanted editorial control over my personal LinkedIn.

That's when I knew I was done...

I wasn't going to let some CEO tell me what I can and can't write.

Neither should you.

Your LinkedIn is your brand, not theirs.

That's part of why I exited W-2 land.

I'd rather bet on myself than obey someone else.

Three things I learned:

Your personal brand belongs to you, not your employer
The moment they try to control it, you've hit the ceiling
The grip only gets stronger the longer you stay

Now I build content on my terms.
No approvals. No sanitizing. No hiding.
That CEO did me a favor.

No scripts. No camera stress. I interview you and deliver scroll-stopping video shorts 📹 Founder of VideoGhost.

My buddy just hit month 7 of unemployment.

Zero offers in the pipeline.

SaaS background. 

Always lands six figure gigs then gets canned when VCs demand faster growth or product-market fit is off.

I've been there. It's brutal...

A software company fired me from my marketing director gig.

What saved me?

A podcast. Over 100 episodes. Landed me my last W-2 before I went full-time entrepreneur.

Visibility saved me twice.
Once for a job. Once from needing one.
Now I help founders get visible through video.

The "And Then" Trap:

Most founder stories are flat.

"I started a company and then hired a team and then...

No stakes. No tension. No reason to keep reading.

Build tension instead:

Use "but" and "therefore" to create turns.

I needed capital. But investors said no. 
I had to bootstrap. Which forced me to get scrappy. 

Each sentence changes direction or raises stakes.

Your audience leans in because they don't know what's next.

LinkedIn pays you in reach. 
Substack pays you in cash.
That gap is widening.

LinkedIn monetizes your attention and gives you exposure. 
Substack monetizes your audience and cuts you checks.
Both matter. 

But only one pays your rent.

This shift is accelerating:

The value moves from center to edge
More platforms will pay creators directly
Distribution becomes the creator's asset

LinkedIn builds your brand. Substack builds your bank account.
The future favors the latter.

But neither works without the fundamentals: stop the scroll, hold attention, write worth reading.

Mike Bolton hit $20K months and 20K LinkedIn followers ghostwriting. I run a boutique podcast business chasing $10K monthly and beyond.  Two pros making real money as creators. 

Friday's stream is exclusively on Substack for now. Two hours deep on sales, writing, and what actually drives revenue in the creator economy. Real talk from people doing the work.

5,239 people saw my LinkedIn profile this week.

I spent maybe an hour creating content.

Three patterns that work:

👻 Hard numbers build trust instantly. 28k impressions and $5000 packages. Kill soft corporate speak.

👻 Pain-to-power arcs stop the scroll. Broken jaw to full-time creator hits different than smooth sailing stories.

👻 Raw vulnerability wins attention. Getting fired then building VideoGhost. The corporate exit story writes itself when it's real.

The algorithm changes weekly.
Human stories are algorithm-proof.

I've made tens of thousands producing podcasts.

Wild to say out loud because I genuinely love podcasts.

Started landing clients before 5,000 Linkedin followers.

I'm building on LinkedIn but stay platform-agnostic.

Naturally drawn to early ecosystems.

That's just how I'm wired...

There's no magic number that unlocks revenue.

People with 1,000 followers make money. 
People with 50,000 that are broke af. 

The difference isn't intelligence.

It's action cycles and iteration speed.

We're still early in the creator economy. Followers keep you visible, but revenue comes from solving problems and shipping fast.

I launched a podcast years ago that hit 8.6k downloads.

Thought it was about downloads.

Turns out I was building something better:

🎯Got a six-figure job from it (no resume sent)
🎯Landed a client who pays $1K/month for his show 
🎯 Signed 3 VideoGhost clients I coach and direct for short-form content

I wasn't creating content.
I was building a networking engine that paid me.
Your podcast is a Rolodex that compounds.

Shot some stills 2 day's this week for Antony Talia's documentary taking place at the Roland Center. 

Beautiful project serving people with Down syndrome.

They hired Anthony's production company Sonda Cre8tiv to tell the story of one of their patients. 

He's bringing it to life. Maybe it hits some film festivals.

Just pumped to work with creative people making cool shit....

Been quiet on LinkedIn. 

Not trying to create FOMO. Just going deeper on Substack now.

Real opportunities happen in real time. You move when the moment's right.

Substack's still early. Less noise. LinkedIn's already late stage in the creator economy.

Spent time 2 hours live Mike Bolton yesterday talking about making a living in the creator economy.

Bolton is an operator you need to watch. He went from zero to $20K monthly revenue and 20K followers about as fast as anyone I've seen build in real time. 

All while cruising around South America...

We are going live again this upcoming Friday at 10 AM PT exclusively on Substack.

One LinkedIn DM can change your life.

My buddy Jeremy Thone had a friendly conversation with someone on LinkedIn.

He wasn't pitching. Just saying hello.

That person reached out later saying he needed short-form video content.

He started working with Jeremy.
He DM'd a nonprofit on LinkedIn.
He landed a $50,000 budget to create a film about an Alzheimer's care facility.

One DM led to a client. 
That client's DM led to a $50k project.

As much as I talk about Substack these days, LinkedIn still can't be beat for B2B. 

One post, one DM, one conversation - can add $50k. Or $500k. 
Just depends what you're selling.

We talked about this and a bunch of other stuff on yesterday's Substack LIVE:

• Why LinkedIn people are migrating to Substack
• How a Reiki session improved my mindset and led to high-ticket clients
• How beginners can leverage free work in their warm network to land their first client

Full conversation here: https://lnkd.in/ekPQuceM

Long-form content rewires how they see the world.

A 20-minute YouTube video or 2,000-word newsletter lets you wander into territory feeds can't reach. 

You explore subjects until they get interesting... 

Here's why depth builds trust: anyone can steal a surface-level take. 

But nuance? 

That requires actual experience. 

When you go deep, you prove you've lived it. 

The longer someone stays, the more problems you spot floating around.
