💻 A 14-Year-Old Digital Pioneer
Austin’s journey began on MySpace in 2004. At just 14, he had figured out how to grow a fan base and make real money — before most of his peers even knew what “social media” meant.
But it wasn’t always easy. He faced skepticism from friends and even his parents. Still, Austin was hooked — and his early wins planted the seeds for everything that followed.
📈 From Agency Grind to Content King
After a detour in agency life, Austin reignited his brand through Socialty Pro, combining SEO-driven video strategy with short-form content. That focus exploded his presence:
10 million+ daily views across TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube
750K+ followers on TikTok alone
Featured on major platforms for his insights on SEO, marketing, and AI
He mastered the formula: educate, engage, and repurpose — and now teaches others to do the same.
🤖 Building Syllabi.ai and the Future of AI Marketing
