My client Caleb 10x'd his info product revenue in 7 months

He thought he needed to go viral to make money on YouTube

But views don't pay the bills

But the right content strategy does

So, here's how we did it

So much in the trenches I forgot today was Valentine's Day

Your YouTube ideation strategy doesn't matter if you skipped the most important step

And 90% of you did

Everyone obsesses over what videos to make

Then they make content for "ecom brands" when they really only want supplement brands doing 7 figs

Or generic business content when they want owners making 50k/m, not beginners hunting for free value

Define exactly who you serve first
Industry

Revenue level

Business size

Their specific problems

"But that means fewer views"

Yeah, and?

Those 300 views from your actual ICP beat 30,000 random viewers who can't afford you

Build your ICP first

Then research what's proven in that exact niche

copying YouTube videos is the best way to grow and book calls

but the way you're doing it guarantees you'll fail

i see this constantly

someone finds a competitor crushing it

dumps their transcript into AI

asks it to "make this video for me"

wonders why it flops

here's the problem:

AI can't see the editing can't catch the thumbnail

patterns completely misses the pacing has no clue

what's actually shown on screen doesn't understand

why people keep watching

so you end up with videos that say the same things

but look and feel completely different

and that's why they fail

look at make money online channels:

fast cuts every 2-3 seconds

constant movement

graphics popping up nonstop

keeps younger audiences engaged

now look at finance/retirement content:

minimal editing

long screen shares

slow deliberate pacing

lets complex ideas actually sink in

both work. both make money.

but they look NOTHING alike because they're speaking

to completely different people

stop copying transcripts

start watching the actual videos

multiple times across competitor channels
track what keeps repeating:

intro formats they use every time

what thumbnails actually look like

which editing choices keep THEIR audience watching

"that's gonna take forever"

yeah that's why you're losing

the goal isn't copying everything exactly

you're looking for what makes it work

then adapting that for whoever you're trying to reach

your competitors are winning because they understand their audience

you're losing because you're too lazy to do the actual research

stop asking AI to do your homework

actually watch the damn videos

[Gabe @GabrielCheongH]

most people think youtube success = expensive cameras + fancy editing

WRONG

creators with $10k setups book zero calls

while someone explaining their process in a google doc books 5 calls a week

the difference?

one has real stories and proof, the other has good lighting

you can't wrap a turd in nice packaging and expect people to buy

prospects smell bullshit instantly

- cinematic b-roll
- color grading
- motion graphics
- 5 camera angles

none of that matters if you're saying generic stuff everyone else says

no one's booking a call with you

but explain something through:

- a specific story you lived
- a mistake you actually made
- a client result you personally generated

people book calls even if you're recording in your bedroom in your moms basement

because experiences build TRUST and trust books calls

you can hire an editor for $500, buy a camera for $2k

but you can't buy 8 months of scaling a client from 5k to 27k subs

THAT'S the proof prospects need to pull out their credit card

so stop worrying about production quality and start worrying about having actual stories

that make people think

"this guy knows what he's doing"

[Gabe @GabrielCheongH]

I hate recording content

Always have

The idea of being "on" every single day, turning on the camera, hoping I sound good, praying the lighting works... it drains me

But I still can film 4+ videos a month in under 4 hours total if I want

Most people burn out because they treat content like a daily obligation

They wake up, turn on the camera, wing a video, and hope it performs

Then they do it again tomorrow

And the next day

And the day after that

It's exhausting and ineffective

Because when you're constantly in creation mode, you never give yourself time to think strategically about what you're actually making

You're just reacting, scrambling, and hoping something sticks

I did this for months when I first started, and it nearly killed my motivation entirely.

Then something clicked for me

The best business owners don't record more often, they're just smarter in executing it

They separate the creative process from the execution process, and that one shift changed everything for me

So now I use a system that lets me batch-record a month of content in one sitting.

I dedicate 2–7 days to pure planning

I sit down and map out every video idea, script the hooks, outline the key points, and organize everything into a clear shooting order

A well-planned video doesn't take long to to record, because your already walking in with a plan

A poorly planned one takes an hour of messing up and stumbling and still underperforms

Then I block one 4-hour window to film everything

I pick a day, clear my calendar, set up my space once, and knock out every single video back to back

I've already done the thinking, so when I hit record I'm just following the plan I already made

After that session, I send everything to my editor and move on

I don't even think about recording again for weeks

That means I'm not forcing myself to feel inspired every single morning or stressing about what to film today

I get it all done in one push and buy myself a month of freedom

And honestly, that's the biggest win for me

Because once the content is done, I can focus on the parts of my business that actually move the needle instead of constantly worrying what to post next week

What about you?

Have you tried batch recording before, or are you still grinding it out day by day?

@AnthonyEclipse Best workflow

[Gabe @GabrielCheongH]

I went for a walk today and had this random thought

If it wasn't for YouTube, I genuinely wouldn't be where I am

And I don't mean the entertainment side of it

I mean the actual skills I picked up over the years

Every time I got stuck on something, whether it was a math problem back in school or trying to figure out how to edit videos or position an offer

I'd pull up YouTube and someone would teach me

And over time, all of those little lessons stacked up

They shaped how I think, what I can do, and honestly who I became

That's when it clicked for me

People don't just book calls because you have a good offer

They book calls because they already trust you

And that trust gets built way before they ever see your calendar link

When someone teaches you something that actually works, you remember them

You start trusting their judgment

So when they mention they have a service, it doesn't feel like a pitch anymore

It just feels like the next logical step.

That's the real power behind educational content

[Gabe @GabrielCheongH]

If you want people to buy from your YouTube videos

You make videos that target the exact traits of the buyer

If you want views, just target everyone, but you only attract broke people

There is a reason why almost everyone in the education space make way more money using YouTube

Then the education space

Yet the entertainment space gets wayyyyy more views then the education space

[Gabe @GabrielCheongH]

Why do channels with 500 views make more money than channels with 500K?

I spent 2 years figuring this out

Most YouTube coaches will tell you to chase views, and it's the main thing that's holding you back

Look, the channels making the most money aren't the ones going viral

Iman Gadzhi and Jordan Welch both have 1M sub YouTube Channels

But they both run second YouTube channels that get 1-5k views per video

Yet, they generate most of their revenue from those channels then their main ones

But why would they do that when they could just make more videos on their main channel?

Because their main channels went viral by targeting one of the most broad markets on YouTube: make money online and self improvement

Those viewers just want entertainment, or generic advice

They don't buy expensive stuff

The breakthrough came when I realized how the algorithm actually works

YouTube pushes your video to people most likely to watch it all the way through

So when you make content for a specific audience (like business owners making $50K/month)

YouTube literally sends it to those exact people

Every viewer on those second channels is a potential client

So, what you should really focus on is your competitive edge

Look at other creators in your space, figure out what they're doing, then find where you can stand out

Maybe it's better thumbnails

Maybe you've been in the industry longer so you can go deeper, or maybe you just solve problems nobody else is addressing

At the end of the day, solving real problems with valuable information beats high production every time

[Gabe @GabrielCheongH]

@eCom_Amin Such a valuable thread

[Gabe @GabrielCheongH]

@david_fisara 💯

[Gabe @GabrielCheongH]

You can have the best YouTube video

But if that thumbnail and title don't reflect the value of the video

Why even bother?

[Gabe @GabrielCheongH]

This is a terrible way of utilizing outlier theory

Blatantly copying someone else's videos title and thumbnail

You should be taking the title and thumbnail, and change it in a way

So it reflects your niche

This is a good opportunity to find gaps in the video and improve them

In your video

If you don't, you will just be considered the guy in second place

[rayane 𓃮 @EsotericaHQ]

Holy creativity

[Gabe @GabrielCheongH]

2025 went by fast

But one thing I learned is that

You can only focus on one main goal to truly

Crush it

I you have many other supplementary goals that sound

"nice to achieve"

NGMI

Example: You can't train like an athlete when your trying to get a business off the ground

You can try to do all these extra goals

But, you are going to be spread too thin

And will result in you achieving mediocre results through the year

So this year

I am going to double down and focus on one thing

Scaling the business, and keep fitness only to the minimum viable amount to stay fit

[Gabe @GabrielCheongH]

There are people dropping 12 hour long free courses on YouTube

Alex Hormozi gives all his info out for free

Charlie Morgan recently made a free Skool that should be the price of a 3k coaching program

Gatekeeping is no longer an option, your best info is probably out there already

Plus AI knowing a lot about everything

So next time your scared to give your best secrets

Think of that
