I'm about to hand you five strategies
that took me years to figure out,
and this is basically gonna be like
an entire YouTube course in five minutes.
And you can steal all five right now and use them today,
and these strategies get you views
and turn those views into five figures monthly.
And most YouTubers only focus on the views part
and they stay broke, they chase subscribers
and viral videos, but they make nothing.
Meanwhile, when I first started working with Josh,
he was making less than $1,000 a month,
and we helped him scale all the way
to over $180,000 a month.
My client, Nicole, had 85 subscribers
and we helped her scale to an $85,000 a month.
Meanwhile, Boogie2988, he has four million subscribers
but makes only $5,000 a month,
which is less than the average income for an American.
Now, the difference isn't luck or talent or video quality,
it's these five specific strategies
that separate the winners from the losers.
So if you appreciate me making this type of video,
let me know by gently tapping that like button,
and let's jump into it right now.
All right, strategy number one
is to pick your preliminary niche.
And typically, the niche is going to be you
helping the younger version of yourself.
So if you had a time machine and you could go back
to the younger version of yourself,
what would you tell them that would save them
a massive amount of time, effort, money,
heartbreak, or headache?
What did you struggle with?
What problems did you solve?
Figure that out, because if you can save yourself
a bunch of time, effort, and money,
then you can save other people
a bunch of time, effort, and money as well,
because your problems are not unique.
If you had a problem, chances are millions
of other people out there had the same exact problem.
Then, once you figure out what this problem is,
I want you to create a niche hypothesis statement.
This is I help X do Y by Z.
X is the who, Y is the what, and Z is the how.
But forget the Z part for now,
because you can figure out
how you're gonna help them later on.
So focus on the I help X do Y, or I help X overcome Y.
Now, this is your preliminary niche.
It can change later.
The goal is to start, not to be perfect.
An example here is my brother, Zach of All Trades.
He was in the trades for 30 years,
and he helps other people pick the best trades for them.
All right, guys, in the editing process right now,
and I just wanted to mention
that if you're struggling to grow on YouTube,
you're having trouble getting views,
subscribers, making money, or even picking a niche,
I'm gonna be hosting a free one-time live workshop
that goes over exactly how to help with that,
how to get money quickly with YouTube.
So make sure to mark that down,
and also make sure to click the link in the description
and the pinned comment below so you don't miss out.
And if you attend live,
you'll also have a chance to be the one person I pick
for a real-time channel audit
once we move into the interactive portion of the workshop.
If you feel unsure about what niche to choose,
or you're worried that your niche might be too broad,
or it's not profitable enough,
then this workshop is for you,
because I'll be giving away
the Niche Validator Pro 2.0 completely free.
This is the latest and most optimized version
of my GPT-powered niche validation tool,
and it helps you instantly test
and uncover profitable YouTube niches
before you waste time creating content
that doesn't bring in leads, sales, or money.
It's smarter, faster, and trained on even more data
from real profitable channels,
and I'll be giving it away completely free,
but only at this live workshop.
And just a heads up,
this might be one of the last times
I give this tool away for free,
because I'm planning on making it into a actual software.
So if you've been on the fence,
this is definitely a good time to pick it up.
Now, during the workshop,
there's a full presentation on how to grow on YouTube,
followed by a Q&A,
where you can ask me questions directly on Zoom,
and people do ask a lot of questions.
The majority of the time about niche,
and many people walk away with niche clarity
during the session itself.
And the same strategies I teach
are the ones that help clients like Nicole,
who went from 85 subscribers to $85,000 in a single month,
Seth, who went from years without a viral video
to immediately getting 300,000 views
right after starting working with us,
or Davis, who scaled from 100K a month
and was able to remove himself from recording.
And even people who aren't clients, like Isaiah,
were able to make $20,000
only using the free content and live workshop strategies.
So make sure you show up,
click the link in the description
or the pinned comment to register,
and add it to your calendar
so you don't miss the chance to grab the niche validator AI.
And if you miss the date, that's okay.
Check the link still to see
when the next workshop is happening,
or to sign up to a list
that will tell you when the next one does.
So see you Tuesday at 9 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.
Now back to the video.
Strategy number two is pick the right ideas.
Now I call this the hot dog method,
but this video is so short
that I don't even have time to explain what that means.
But basically what you wanna do
is find videos that did very well
from small channels that are either mediocre or bad, right?
Do not try to do random videos
and do not try to copy big YouTubers.
Those are the two most common mistakes.
Then you wanna make your title
about 90% the same as that title of the video,
and then make a much better video.
Don't change the angle, don't change the format.
You wanna have the same frame,
you just make it way better.
For instance, highest paying trades jobs
that no one's talking about,
and highest paying trades jobs
that no one is talking about.
Now behind selecting the right niche,
the idea is by far the most important thing
that will make or break the video.
If you choose a good idea,
everything else can be mediocre
and the video can still do well.
If you choose a bad idea,
everything else can be fantastic
and the video will fail.
So if you really wanna learn more about the hot dog method
and how to lock in the right ideas,
attend the live training this week.

All right, strategy number three
is package it the right way.
I call this the holy trifecta,
and that is the title, the thumbnail,
and the intro or hook.
And not only do all three of these need to be good,
but most importantly, they need to be congruent,
and they should all promise the same exact thing.
Now, quick check.
If someone only saw your thumbnail,
would they be able to tell what the video is about
just from the thumbnail alone?
If you look at Zach's thumbnail, for instance,
my 50-year-old brother whose very first video he did
using my methods blew up on his channel,
and a month later he was making
a full-time income from YouTube, $214 in a single day,
you will be able to tell what the video's about
just from the thumbnail alone.
This is a common mistake that I see time and time again
where most people make thumbnails where you can't.
Don't be like those people.
And then also make sure the thumbnail, the title,
and the intro or hook are congruent.
Strategy number four, be consistent.
One video a week minimum.
That's the sweet spot.
If you can, do three videos a week,
because when you are consistent,
that means you're getting more shots on goal, right?
You cannot score points unless you get shots on goal,
and scoring a point means getting a video that takes off.
Plus, more uploads equals faster skill growth
and more chances to hit.
That's exactly what my client RJ did,
and within almost no time he had one video
that took off a bit, and then a month later
he had another video that took off
and got over a million views.
And he did it by uploading three videos a week.
Even though his content wasn't perfect, it didn't matter.
Consistency is more important than spending three months
on a single video.
Strategy number five, monetize properly.
Ads are not the move.
Now, if you can sell something high ticket,
whether it's a service, an agency offer,
a consulting program, coaching, a mastermind,
a build and release offer, whatever it is,
that is what I recommend.
High ticket is the way to go.
But if for whatever reason you can't do that,
I really like affiliate marketing as well,
but there's a lot of different ways to make money.
Sponsorships, courses in digital products, even SaaS.
But the core point here is that your views are leveraged,
but monetization is the system that turns views into income.
If you're just getting traffic,
but you're not actually turning that traffic into income,
then you're kind of wasting your time.
And to be fair,
most YouTubers are absolutely terrible at this.
YouTubers are great at getting traffic
and they're terrible at actually monetizing that traffic.
I've helped tons of YouTubers.
In some cases, I've literally 10x channels
or even close to 20x.
For instance, Sean was making over $30,000 a month.
We helped him get to over $500,000 a month.
And that is the result of proper monetization.
Do not be one of those broke influencers
that's getting millions of views, but not making any money.
It's actually much better to be a channel
that's getting just a few thousand views,
but making a full-time income.
And again, if you wanna figure out how to do that,
click the link in the description and the pinned comment
below, and also check out this video right here
that I did with my client, Sean,
where I actually interviewed him live
and asked him questions on how we were able to help him.
And you can check that out by clicking right here.
