I always wanted to create a youtube channel

>In 2023 I decided today is the day
>set timer to 1 minute
>decided chess will be my niche, just a gut feeling
>chose a channel name in 8 seconds
>profile picture in maybe 1 minute
>instantly started working on videos

By the end of that same year I made $22k (profit) in a single month and my life was never the same

One small choice made a big difference

[EP @eptwts]

you're always 1 idea, 1 connection, or 1 impulsive decision away from an event that'll snowball into you living the life that you wanna live...

the best thing you can do to maximize your chances of such an event occuring are to:
> keep learning like you're still a beginner at what you do
> talk to people in & outside of your industry
> relentlessly act on the ideas you see most potential in
> make decisions fast

it's hard to miss when you have all 4 of these points covered

As an EU citizen and digital business owner who left last year

This is a good step to get people back

Moving to different EU countries will become much easier, meaning tax incentives will work well

The moment croatia or italy or spain introduces tax incentives, thousands of entrepreneurs will move because you don't have to close and open a company, just update the address

EU states will be forced to stay competitive with their tax, else everyone is leaving because of hyper flexibility

We see the same in Switzerland and USA

Not just about taxes

If one EU country fucks up politically, everyone leaves

Just like people move to Texas when their home state fucks up

Remove all exit taxes inside EU, make it easy to move around within EU, maybe introduce EU-wide corporate tax for EU inc. (replacing national corp tax with low rates up to 1M€ annual profit) and only allow each nation to tax the salary and dividend payouts of their residents, not the corp profits, so you can leave the money inside your EU inc. or EU holding without triggering the national income taxes and capital gains taxes

This might even lead to a situation where people never leave for taxes. Personally, if I could pay low corporate tax and compound my wealth inside the company, and only pay national income tax capital gains tax on personal payouts, I would not give a shit about the national tax rate at all

Just pay out 4k a month and compound the rest inside the company

If they do this, they will see billions of dollars and thousands of entrepreneurs coming back home

I can literally not think of a better business model for beginners than social media

}You can start posting for free
}You learn how to get and retain attention
}You learn marketing by promoting your affiliate offer or own offer

I'd much rather learn business this way, than go to business school

If you can't make money by posting content and making people buy something, chances are any other business like SaaS or ecom would've also failed

If you take business and reduce it to it's most fundamental basics, you get

}How many people see my offer
}What percentage buys
}How much profit am I making per customer

YouTube + promoting an offer will teach you how to max out all these numbers

Ideally educational content promoting affiliate or infoproduct (easy to deliver)

That's why I started my channel 3 years ago, people laugh at "being a YouTuber" as a business but it's a great business to learn business, and some even make billions

I doubt I would've had my first $10k month in the first year if I had started a fucking SaaS company

@KPMYouTube @SullyYT_ No idea, will decide when I'm there and don't want to stay anymore

One of the reasons why YouTube is op

This applies to any organic brand

Since you have the audience, you can easily enter any type of business you want, without the painful work

You can partner up with people who do the software, ecom, service stuff etc in the background

You just keep doing what you do, make good videos and get views

You can sell info by yourself because it's basically just content creation with a paywall on 1-3% of your content

Or partner up with others who handle the heavy lifting of software etc if you want to enter a new market

Just don't lose your focus, content creation is the main thing

@kyrinahlis Ah I misread the original post mb

[Const @const_yt]

Yes 👇🏻

[EP @eptwts]

the obsession with building has poisoned the brain of many people who would have otherwise been successful...

you DO NOT need your own product

and if you've never sold anything before, you probably shouldn't

chances are you've used plenty products that you felt were amazing - perhaps a service, software, or an infoproduct

just resell that for a commission

if you're tryna solve both product & distribution as a first-timer you're setting yourself for failure

[Const @const_yt]

Btw when you hear consistency is the key

It doesn't mean something like daily 12pm uploads or weekly or whatever

It means putting in the same minimum effort every day

The misconception about mass uploads is hilarious to me

There are people growing to 10M+ subs in 2 years with weekly uploads and you think 5 per day are necessary

[Const @const_yt]

Produce more mp4 files and upload them to social media platforms

[Const @const_yt]

I didn't say you can't put effort in it or be creative. I'm saying don't run a 30 second undiclosed ad "bridge" to prepare for the ad. If you say something like "speaking of creativity, if you need help organizing your ideas, check ___, they sponsored this video" it's fine. If you make the ad unique and creative and funny, good. The problem is that some people inauthenticly yap about something that is out of context and clearly makes no sense, and then you suddenly realize the past 30 seconds have been part of the ad that is now being disclosed. It's a very weird change of topic that viewers can feel. If you don't know what I'm talking about we're clearly talking about different things because most "500k+ per video" channels definitely don't do that.

Also if you wanna go ad hominem and say "500k+ views per video" means ultimately being right and can't be questioned, my average views per long form video are over 1.3M so does that mean I'm correct and can't be questioned? 😂
My conversion rate and sales revenue per view are also a LOT higher than anyone else in my niche I've talked to

Please don't label things as complete bullshit when you're not even getting the point. It's annoying that I have to reply to this because it's public.

[Const @const_yt]

A lot of creators are now integrating sponsors into the video like it's part of the content

They try to build a bridge and make it look authentic

Tbh, I think over time this will hurt your brand more

Viewers don't have a problem with a clear cut like hey this is my sponsor blablabla, back to the video

Worst case they skip this segment, whatever

But if you keep trying to make the sponsor look like part of the content, they lose their trust in you

It just feels deceiving when you talk for 15 seconds and then they realize the last 15 seconds were just a bridge to the paid sponsor and you didn't know it

For example I listened to a podcast about CEOs and the guy started talking about how important storytelling is

At first I thought uhm okay that's a bit random and out of context

He explained how the CEO of this episode uses storytelling to sell
his product

I was confused but okay

Then he drops his sponsor, some storytelling website

Dude? So the past 30 seconds were an undisclosed ad (or preparing for this ad)

Now I listen to this podcast with paid ad ptsd constantly questioning if he's being authentic and saying what he really believes, or preparing a paid ad

You need a clear cut between authentic real content and paid promos

ESPECIALLY as a creator

Whenever you promote something for money (even your own offer), be upfront about it

It's much better to have a lower conversion rate on this one promo and keeping the good will of your audience

Than to boost conversion by a few % but damaging your brand long term

Didn't proof read for spelling sry

@TheEcomDaddy Germany

Not everyone, but the 1-3% who are entrepreneurs are absolutely killing it

[Const @const_yt]

This is gonna be boring advice that you already know

But it is the m o s t important thing

Consistency is so so so so incredibly stupid important

I can look at my income and see a direct correlation between growth/decline and my consistency in the 1-3 months prior to that

All the fancy yt strategy and thumbnail theory will not help you if you're not consistent

Consistency is the number 1 most important thing in business, you have to actually do the work.

@league11x I'm using it and having no issues

[Const @const_yt]

Watched brokie YT with ads in my hotel and wow

EVERY single ad was very clearly AI

I'm telling you every single ad was a very bad AI generated interview about a training program or similar

"Gym doesn't work above 50 years old. You need Thai Chi for 9 minutes per day and your body will change in 2 weeks." type of ads

AI awareness in average users above 30 is practically 0
