99% of People Overlook THIS Aspect of YouTube
This realization changed my life forever...
The other day I was mindlessly scrolling on my phone
But rather than being consumed by videos on TikTok or Instagram
I was going through some of my pictures from the last year
This one made me pause and reflect
This picture was taken in October of this past year in Florence (Ponte Vecchio shown in the background)
This trip was special because it was the first trip I was able to take my Dad on
You see, my Dad was born in Italy in the 50s and had never been back to his motherland
So as you can imagine, this trip was a big deal for my family
Now, I’ve been fortunate to have been to Italy before (2017)
At the time, my ex and I decided to explore parts of Europe together
And scratch the travel itch that had been gnawing at us for months
Thinking back, that first trip to Europe was expensive…
Like all travel tends to be
And on my $40,000 a year management consulting job
I would never have been able to go
But, with YouTube sending me an extra paycheck every single month
My Italian dream became a reality
Now, I know what you’re thinking…
“Adam, what does this story have to do with an overlooked aspect of YouTube”
Honestly…everything
Yes, you may want to build up a channel to share your knowledge or satisfy your creative side
But you really want to create a stream of income that you can use to save, travel, provide for your family and retire early
That’s really the goal of any online business
And it just so happens that you can upload videos on the internet and make those desires become a reality
Because, if we are calling a spade a spade, the average 2% raise at work is not likely to fund your next european getaway
This is coming from someone who obtained 1 diploma, 2 degrees and 2 designations just to learn this lesson the hard way
So the next time you upload a video on YouTube, don’t just think about the strategy behind it
Think about what this video could mean to your future
That’s the level of intention you should be putting in to really get the YouTube results you desire
And yes, I ate gelato every day while in Italy…
Ciao,
Adam
