A few weeks ago, Next Town Over was just an idea. Today, because of all of you, it’s becoming something so much bigger.
The messages, the shares, the recommendations, the businesses inviting me in… it’s been overwhelming in the best way.
My vision has always been bigger than making videos. I want to tell the stories that deserve to be told. I want to help small businesses get discovered. I want people to drive an hour just because they saw a hidden gem in a Nebraska town. Someday, I’d love to expand this beyond Nebraska and help shine a light on small towns all across America.
As many of you know, social media doesn’t pay right away. It takes time to reach monetization, but the travel, equipment, editing, and hours behind every video are already very real. 😅
So… I’m officially opening Next Town Over to sponsorships and local business partnerships. If your business believes in celebrating small-town America and wants to help make this project sustainable, I’d love to connect.
And one more question…
If I launched merch, what would you actually buy?
👕 T-shirts?
🧢 Hats?
☕️ Coffee mugs?
🧩 Stickers?
📍Town maps?
📖 Travel journals?
Something else?
Drop your ideas below! I want to create things you’d actually love to own.
This is only the beginning and I truly believe we’re building something special together. Thank you for being here from day one. ❤️
