My name is Tim Forkin.
And you, my friend, have walked your ass straight into a hostage situation.
You’re trapped. You cannot move or do anything else until you click this button. Don’t reach for your phone — there’s nobody to call. Type in your email. Click the button. It’s your only option.
Okay, whew. Thanks for making it easy for me. Do you need anything? Want me to grab you a water?
Now that we’re settled, here’s a little bit about me:
15+ years making videos on the internet have brought me projects with NBA teams, Grammy-nominated rappers, industry-leading software companies, food halls, gambling brands, alternative asset investment platforms, commercial real estate developers, online universities, marathon runners, healthy soda & alcohol brands, nootropics companies, and top-ranked creator podcasts.
My official job title is Creative at Very Online Agency. There, I’m on a small team taking on big-time clients in need of social media bangers. Current & previous partners of ours include Nike, Druski, Hoopbus, CAVA, and Mugsy Jeans. Every day is fun as hell, I feel myself developing into a star, and I work with my friends.
Can’t ask for anything more.
I’m not the most talented creator or editor in the world. You’ll pick that up pretty quickly. But, just like on the basketball court, I can think the game a whole better than I can play it.
LET’S FORKIN GO serves as my outlet to check in the game and get some shots up. Some days I’ll be sharing behind-the-scenes learnings from a career making videos on the internet. Other days I’ll brain dump about marketing, branding, content, entrepreneurship, culture, and basketball.
All of it is in pursuit of The Three Tim Forkin Goals:
Help creators and brands make the videos they’ve always wanted to make.
Document and publish my journey in the creative world, both to help others and to look back on my career fondly one day.
Build a life that allows me to exclusively do awesome work for amazing people, spend quality time with family & friends, and play basketball 4x/week.
If you typed in your email and clicked that button above, thank you. You’re contributing to my pursuits and I love you. Adding your email address to my list puts me in a better position to eventually sell advertising, build a membership business, or drive traffic to a product of my own. In exchange you get to read words that came out of my brain.
That’s how the game works.
If you didn’t click the button above then what theeeee fuck, man.
Did you not read the part about this being a hostage situation and you only had one option?
You obviously can read because you’re here right now.
What’s your deal, huh?
You know, people have gotten a glass bottle broken over their head for doing shit like you’re doing right now.
Watch it.
Watch my YouTube videos. They’re awesome and all of them should have more views.
