3 top lessons from my highest earning YouTube students

I think we all enter into the world of YouTube for one reason

To improve the life we presently lead

Sadly, a lot of that improvement comes in the form of making more money

Fortunately, YouTube offers an amazing opportunity to expand our income

Allowing us to travel more, save extra, and stop staying up at night worrying about bills

Now it’s one thing to make money on YouTube (which is amazing!)

But it’s another to help others do the same

While I can’t share all of the best practices of my students

I can share some of the key elements that they are employing to build their channels into bonafide streams of income

So let’s dive into the top 3 lessons that have lead to students generating $100,000s from YouTube

Lesson 1: Packaging Prioritization

Imagine owning a Lamborghini but being forced to never take it out of the garage

You’d be neglecting the world of seeing this beautiful piece of machinery…

Well most people are doing this exact thing on YouTube

They are producing quality videos but are hiding them behind poor packaging

Basically neutering their abilities to generate any meaningful amount of views…

What I’ve seen from top students is that they grasp and apply the packaging principles fast

They don’t spend long in the period of producing amateur looking thumbnails

Nor do they rely on ChatGPT for titles

They scan the market for what works then they invest the time to learn how to design the thumbnails themselves

Or invest the money into a high-quality thumbnail designer that will bring their videos to life

Packaging matters more than you think

Let the Lamborghini out of the garage this year…

Lesson 2: Follow The Money

Doctors don’t become wealthy because they are saving lives

They become wealthy because they chose a high-paying career path

On YouTube, the same principle applies

Some niches will naturally have higher income ceilings than others

And if you want to reach the 5-figure a month club

Then you’ll need to be in the right niche to do it

That’s why all of my highest earning students are both in highly monetizable niches

But are also leveraging 2+ other income streams outside of ads

Because why limit your income to just advertising revenue, right?

Lesson 3: Persistence Pays

There are a lot of success markers on YouTube

But by far and away the most prominent one is persistence

While we’ve had multiple students now getting monetized within their first months in Tube Academy

The majority of people will require a longer time horizon to start making the big bucks

This journey to six-figure land can come with some ups and downs

I’ve had students come to me after trying to grow on their own for years before they finally made it work

I’ve had others bounce back from having their channels taken down

Persistence is what led them to the results they’re enjoying now

Because with persistence you can:

• Master ideation

• Craft compelling scripts

• Edit like a pro

• Perfect packaging

• Monetize and more

Staying in the game is the ultimate YouTube hack

Because you’ll never fail if you don’t quit…

Until tomorrow,

Adam
