Over the past 15 years, I’ve been deeply immersed in the online marketing world, learning firsthand what truly works—and what doesn’t—when it comes to building a strong presence online.

Running my YouTube channel, Zed Outdoors, has been more than a creative outlet; it’s been a gateway to connecting with hundreds of craftspeople and outdoor-focused businesses. 

I’ve witnessed their passion, but I’ve also seen the challenges they face: growing a loyal social media following, navigating the complexities of online marketing, and turning that following into a sustainable business.

That’s why I created the Zed Outdoors Academy—to provide clear, actionable training tailored specifically to people like you. 

No fluff. 

No nonsense. 

Just a step-by-step approach to growing your audience authentically and building your business in a way that feels manageable and aligned with your values.

Instead of scattering my knowledge across different courses or products, I’ve brought everything I know under one roof. 

Inside the academy, you’ll find a complete system designed to help you cut through the noise and grow your online presence with confidence.

So, what can you expect when you join the Zed Outdoors Academy?

Zed Outdoors

I am committed to pouring my heart and soul into building the Zed Outdoors Academy because I know what it’s like to struggle—to feel overwhelmed by the endless advice, algorithms, and pressure to "keep up" in the online world. 

Over the years, I’ve watched talented craftspeople, makers, and outdoor enthusiasts pour their passion into their work, only to hit walls when trying to share it with the world. 

They’ve faced slow growth, confusing marketing tactics, and the fear of burning out before they see results. 

I don’t want that for you.

With 15 years of experience in online marketing and running my Zed Outdoors YouTube channel, 

I’ve learned what works, what doesn’t, and how to cut through the noise. 

I’ve designed this academy to be the support system I wish existed for so many of the people I’ve met—guiding you step by step, offering personal feedback, and providing a community where you’re not facing these challenges alone.

But this academy is more than just a resource for you; it’s also a way for me to keep creating the content I’m passionate about on the Zed Outdoors channel. 

By joining, you’re not only gaining tools to grow your online presence and business—you’re directly helping me continue documenting the crafts, skills, and outdoor traditions we both value so much. 

I’m fully committed to making this the best resource possible, constantly improving it and evolving based on what you need most.

I’m here to help you succeed, avoid the mistakes and frustrations that hold so many back, and grow something sustainable and meaningful. 

Together, we’ll make sure your passion gets the visibility and success it deserves. Let’s build this journey together.

I'll see you on the inside

Peace

Zed Outdoors
