My $5 Million YouTube Gameplan
This is my ultimate strategy behind YouTube...
Ever since I was a teenager, I was obsessed with the idea of retiring early
At a young age, I saw how disgruntled many people were with their jobs
And figured that if I tried hard enough I could sidestep some of that pain
The sentiment only grew stronger in me when my Uncle passed away in 2020
After a hard fought battle with brain cancer
What made the whole situation worse was that when he was diagnosed
He was only a few short years away from retiring
A period of life that sadly he would never enjoy
When he passed, a switch inside me went off
As Drake says, “I went 0 to 100 real quick”
There was no more wasting time - I had to get moving on achieving financial freedom…
So what did I do? What all CPA nerds do - I crunched the numbers
I started to calculate how soon I could retire with $5M based on numerous monthly investment targets
Given I already had about $250,000 in investments at that time I just needed a tiny $4.5M to get the job done (LOL)
Turns out that I needed to invest $8,000 a month for the next 20 years to get to $5 million invested
And so what did I do?
I started scaling up my YouTube income to do it
Here’s a $16,000 month that took place just a few months after my uncle’s passing
But let’s say you’re not making $16,000/mo on YouTube
Will this same approach help you retire early?
Absolutely!
For example, just investing an extra $2,000 a month for the next 5 years will turn into $143k
Which will then turn into over $500,000 in 20 years
This is what I call YouTube chess
Using YouTube income to play the larger game of achieving financial freedom
Instead of wasting that sweet online income life most of the people you see online…
So if you’re like me and prioritize freedom over frivelous spending then understand that a bit of extra YouTube income can go a LONG way
And that in and of itself should be enough motivation to get you started…
