one of the best examples I've seen of adjacent niche transfer mixed with the skyscraper method on YT
let me explain these super cool terms and why it worked here
so, someone in the self-improvement niche sees the mrbeast video doing numbers
he thinks: "okay so this outlier comes from a different niche, but it's the same audience as mine - both gen Z males that watch streamer documentaries and looksmaxxing content"
that's what makes it adjacent = different content, same viewers
so what he does is he steals everything but one thing
the subject
MrBeast → Clavicular
now this is what strategists call the skyscraper method: they didn't just copy it - they improved the one variable holding it back
why the subject swap 10x'd it:
MrBeast is oversaturated asf
people see his name and keep scrolling - we've come to a point where they just think every video about them is clickbait just to get views
now on the other side - Clavicular is peak presence of mind right now
he's trending, has lots of demand, and is controversial by nature + he actually fits the Nietzsche angle more
the format was never the ceiling, the subject was.

As a YouTube creator, you gotta move fast on every new opportunity
I’m not talking about new niches - that’s shiny object syndrome
There’s always gonna be another niche you could jump into
I’m talking about new AI models, new tools, new knowledge you didn’t know yet
GPT Image Model 2.0 drops? Go test it. Don’t just read how good it is - actually open it and play with it
Always watch where the attention is flowing
That’s where the money goes next
The most valuable skill you can build on YouTube is reverse-engineering why your competitors' outliers hit
you don't develop that across five niches
you develop it by picking one lane and going deep - main niche plus every sub-niche around it.
two months in, you've absorbed the market from the outside
ideation stops being guesswork, you start seeing openings nobody else can.

one of my biggest mistakes costed me 5 figures on YT
let me explain so some of y’all can prevent this
so, most people launching a new channel do this:
they pull data from a lot of different channels,
try to synthesize something "original"
and end up with frankenstein content
no clear sauce, no signal
YouTube has no idea who to show it to
this is what some call the preconditioning trap:
you consume so many channels surface-level that your content ends up looking like everyone's and feeling like no one's
the fix is simpler than you think
find the 1-2 channels winning hardest in your exact lane
don't copy what they make - copy the feeling their viewer walks away with
in my example it was the medium: 2D -> 3D production
Fun master mind dinner in Bali!
Everyone was crushing it! So nice to meet new people in Bali and organize stuff like this!
Let me know if I should do a mastermind holiday where we just vibe, work and gym!
Want to organize one later this year!
Thanks everyone for coming!
never been this locked in
completely free at 16
living exactly how i dreamed when i was a little kid staring at the ceiling thinking “one day.”
and i’ll tell you the secret
it’s your environment
the people around you literally rewire who you are
you don’t even choose to win
you just have no other option
choose your circle like your life depends on it, because it does
