Need short-form videos for your socials? Book a shooter now: https://k9unit.co/ It’s been 40 days since launching k9unit.co, and we’ve already made around $6,800 in revenue roughly $5,000/month. But the goal is much bigger: $100,000/month in revenue. Right now, we’re still about 95% away. In this behind-the-scenes episode, Fahad Kaleem shares the raw reality of building K9Unit, a marketplace connecting shooters, content creators, and brands. From dealing with client issues and managing creators to analyzing why 400+ brands signed up but only 10 made bookings, this episode shows the messy middle of startup growth. You’ll also see meetings with clients, conversations about personal branding, a YouTube strategy call with Toros Mazloumian, and the painful process of setting up Meta ads through Meta Business Suite. This is the unfiltered side of entrepreneurship: long days, unclear problems, conversion issues, and figuring things out in real time.
